We offer excellent development, a competitive salary and remarkable benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance and employee discounts.

Your needs are as unique as you are. Hybrid working is a way in which our people can balance their time between the office, home or another remote location. It’s a locally managed and flexed informal discretionary arrangement. As a minimum we’re all expected to attend the workplace for collaboration and other specific reasons, on average three days per week.

• Conduct monthly review meetings with budget holders and Programme Teams, providing support for commercial business issues and contract pricing queries as they arise.
• Be the point of contact for cyclical external audit queries; provide timely responses to audit queries as they arise and develop stringent remedial controls where necessary.
• Interpret client contracts and evaluate for financial and commercial risk and opportunities, presenting feedback to Programme teams.
• Produce financial summaries to support Long Term Contract reviews and present at the Long Term Contract Reviews.

Who we are looking for:

At Rolls-Royce we embrace agility, are bold, pursue collaboration and seek simplicity in everything we do. These values form our values and behaviours and are an essential component of our assessment process and are fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.
• The role requires a fully qualified accountant (CIMA, ACCA, ACA).
• The candidate should be educated to degree level or above and able to demonstrate an excellent record of academic achievement.
• Strong SAP and Excel experience is essential.
• The successful candidate will be highly customer focussed and be experienced in communicating financial knowledge across all levels within a corporate environment.
• Excellent prioritisation and self-management skills are key, as is the ability to manage and meet a wide variety of internal and external reporting deadlines.
• Experience of working in a business partnering capacity with the ability to challenge the status quo is desirable.

The professional level and the salary of the position will be dependent on the skills and experience of the successful candidate.
