Finance Systems Analyst
About The Role
What does it take for a whole charity to trust the numbers it relies on? Effective finance systems, and the technical expert who keeps them that way. At Alzheimer's Society, that expert could be you.
About the opportunity
As Finance Systems Analyst, you’ll be our in-house expert on the finance systems that keep the Society running. You’ll sit in our Finance Systems and Data team, part of the Finance and Assurance directorate, and report to the Systems Accountant. You’ll also line-manage our Finance Systems Administrator.
Finance and Assurance have a clear vision. We want to be the Society’s single point of truth. We are trusted partners and credible experts, and we work as one team. You'll help make that real. You'll embed and improve Unit4 and the systems around it, so colleagues have the tools and insight they need.
This is a hands-on, technical role with real influence. You’ll give second-line support and solve the tricky problems. You’ll turn what people need into clear system changes. And you’ll be the steward of the change process, so every update is logged, tested, and signed off. You'll build and look after the links between Unit4 and other systems. You’ll also shape the reports and dashboards that turn raw data into insight.
