A bit about the role

Working in a team with Ian Gray, our Head - Finance Business Partnering (Corporate Services), the Finance Business Partner will play a critical role in providing finance support, advice, challenge and information to budget holders. You will be joining our small but highly skilled team, who are committed to ensuring Finance is at the heart of decision making.

You will be comfortable managing stakeholders at a senior level and your discussions will be shaped by a good understanding of the commercial and operational impact of what we do as an Agency and Finance's role in supporting delivery.
