Are you looking for a unique opportunity to join a committed team, embrace diverse challenges, and contribute to meaningful success?

Do you want to be at the heart of the business and have a passion to make a difference by bringing Finance to life?

Would you like to belong to a forward-looking organisation that promotes flexibility and inclusivity and has the environment and people at its heart?

If so, read on...

I’m pleased to announce that we are now recruiting a Finance Business Partner to join our Finance Team. We’re a team that works hard, and that has fun and celebrates our success.

Finance Business Partners at the Mining Remediation Authority enjoy a varied role which reflects the diverse range of activity undertaken by the organisation. To keep things interesting and provide a fresh challenge, business partner areas are moved around the team every 1-2 years.

You will see yourself as Finance Director for the area of business that you support. In practice, that means you think holistically, are regularly involved, and provide a great service covering planning, reporting, governance, and decision support.

You will receive a generous overall benefits package, including a bonus scheme that will recognise your performance and contribution and your ongoing development will be supported; in fact, we require all staff to complete 5 days of training.

About The Role

Alongside six other Finance Business Partners, you will report to the Principal Finance Manager and be responsible for providing management accounting and decision support services to the Mining Remediation Authority’s management teams, including financial planning and analysis, commercial support, performance monitoring, and reporting. Governance is also a key element, such as internal and external audit and effectively assessing risks in your supported business area.

You will effectively manage your own performance and be accountable for meeting individual, team, and corporate objectives through positive contribution, in line with the organisation’s values and behaviours. You will identify opportunities and implement change as part of a continuous improvement cycle, driving efficiency, effectiveness, and value for money. You will have mature people skills, enjoy developing and maintaining positive stakeholder relationships.

We don’t expect candidates to meet every single desired qualification. If your experience looks a little different and you think you can bring value to the role, we'd love to learn more about you!
