Job description

East London

Permanent

We are recruiting for a Senior Financial Systems Application Specialist to join a large public-sector organisation in East London.

This is a specialist, hands-on technical role sitting at the heart of the organisation's financial operations. You will take ownership of a portfolio of critical financial applications, integrations, databases and automated financial processes, ensuring data moves accurately and reliably between multiple business systems.

The role would suit someone who combines strong SQL / database expertise with a good understanding of financial systems, payments and income management.

The role

You will be responsible for:

• Managing and supporting a portfolio of business-critical financial applications
• Developing and maintaining complex Microsoft SQL Server solutions
• Building and supporting SSIS packages, scripts and automated data-processing solutions
• Managing integrations and data flows between finance systems and internal/external platforms
• Supporting payment, income management and financial transaction processes
• Troubleshooting complex application, database and financial-processing issues
• Monitoring application performance, service availability and data integrity
• Providing BAU support and resolving incidents through an ITSM environment
• Delivering technical changes, upgrades, integrations and project work
• Working closely with Finance, Infrastructure, Development, Support and external suppliers
• Acting as the technical/product specialist for financial applications
• Supporting disaster recovery, business continuity and major incident resolution
• Sharing technical knowledge and supporting the development of colleagues

Key skills we're looking for

• Microsoft SQL Server
• SQL development and database management
• SSIS - SQL Server Integration Services
• Financial system integrations
• Automated data processing and scheduled financial interfaces
• Payment and/or income management systems
• Troubleshooting complex financial data and system issues
• Working with third-party application suppliers
• Supporting business-critical production systems

Experience with Civica Automation Suite / PCC, or similar financial automation and integration technologies, would be particularly useful.

Exposure to systems such as Capita AIMS, payment portals, Gov.Pay or Pay360 would also be advantageous.

The person

This is not a management role. We're looking for an experienced technical specialist who is comfortable taking ownership of critical systems and solving complex problems independently.

You should be able to combine technical ability with an understanding of how financial transactions flow between systems and appreciate the operational importance of ensuring payments, interfaces and scheduled processes run correctly.

The position may occasionally require out-of-hours work to support critical incidents or system implementations, with overtime/TOIL provisions available.
