Job description

Overview

At Dunelm, our Finance team isn’t just about numbers; we’re the powerhouse behind smart decisions, smooth operations, and spotting golden opportunities for growth. We balance the books and manage procurement like pros, but we also dive deep into financial data to uncover patterns, trends, and hidden gems that help steer our business forward.

With an approximately 80-strong team, we’re just the right size—agile enough that no one gets lost in the crowd (or stuck doing the same thing every day), but big enough to offer real opportunities to grow, explore new areas, and challenge yourself. If you think finance is all grey suits and spreadsheets—think again. Here, we're making numbers exciting, decisions smarter, and opportunities bigger.

Role Overview

As part of our dynamic Finance Operations Team, the Finance Operations Assistant plays a crucial role in keeping the financial wheels turning smoothly. You'll be the hero who ensures our suppliers are paid accurately and on time, and that our group's cash and debt are reconciled and reported like clockwork—meeting (and exceeding) business expectations.

This role isn’t just about keeping things ticking over—it’s about shaking things up. We’re looking for someone who’s ready to challenge the status quo, champion smarter ways of working, and help add to our culture of continuous improvement, all while delivering outstanding service.

What We Expect

• Collaboration, curiosity, and a hunger to learn are key traits.
• Engagement in broader financial accounting and month-end activities.
• A passion for working with numbers and improving processes.

If you’re excited by numbers, passionate about making processes better, and love working with great people, then you’ll feel right at home with us.
