Job description:

Have you got experience in financial management, project management, data analysis, or stakeholder management, or are you a qualified accountant?

If so, join us at The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) which is focused on the energy portfolio from the former Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).

This is a brilliant opportunity to be involved in supporting the Department's top priorities, including the extraordinary challenge to achieve "net zero" carbon emissions.

The Finance Business Partner team is a core part of the Department, providing a seamless end-to-end service to customers to support the Department's ambitious agenda.

They ensure that colleagues in the wider Department have the knowledge and support they need to manage spend effectively, ultimately supporting the wider Department to meet its objectives.

FBPs build relationships and work in partnership with business managers, policy and delivery colleagues and other key stakeholders in corporate services (including legal, financial, and commercial specialists).

We are therefore keen to hear from applicants who enjoy working with people across different areas, including working with senior stakeholders.

You will be responsible for delivering an efficient and effective service to budget holders.

You will be a results-driven, collaborative player, with strong attention to detail and the ability and communication skills to build good working relationships at all levels.

You will provide first-line financial advice, as well as in-year financial reporting, forecasting and analysis to policy and delivery teams.

You might have your own portfolio of Directorates or support colleagues across a range of business areas.

You will need to be confident in undertaking analysis and using financial systems and will champion financial awareness and effective financial management across the groups.

New joiners often remark on the high priority we place on Diversity & Inclusion, well-being, and the positive culture we have created together.

We are keen to welcome people to the team who will contribute actively to this culture and look for further learning and development opportunities.
