About us
Sue Ryder is here to make sure everyone approaching the end of their life or living with grief can access the support they need. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to how we cope and the help we need, but with our support, no one has to face dying or grief alone. We are there when it matters.
About the job
We’re looking for a Finance Systems Accountant to join our Finance team at an exciting time of change. With the integration of our new finance system (Workday), you’ll bring your finance expertise to support the Financial Controller and wider Finance team with testing, implementation and the transition to effective business-as-usual operations.
You’ll combine strong financial knowledge with systems expertise, helping to ensure our finance processes, controls, reporting and systems work effectively. You’ll play a key role in testing system functionality, validating financial data, supporting integrations and resolving issues, while identifying opportunities to improve processes and efficiency.
About you
You’ll be a finance professional with a strong understanding of finance operations, financial controls and reporting, alongside experience of working with finance systems. You’ll be analytical, organised and confident working with both technical and non-technical colleagues.
