Finance Support Officer

Finance Office

Fixed Term: 12 Month Contract

Loughborough University is offering a fantastic opportunity to join its Accounts Receivable (AR) team in the role of a Finance Support Officer. The AR team sits within the Financial Control section of the University’s Finance Office. The primary function of the AR team is to ensure that payments to the University are received on time, from both students and commercial partners.

The ideal candidate will have experience of working within a high-volume service orientated department with good knowledge of finance procedures. Whilst a reasonable level of financial numeracy is required, the key attributes required are the ability to communicate with a range of stakeholders and attention to detail, as well as a proactive approach to problem solving.

The role offers a variety of duties, with the key parts of this role involving administration of the commercial and student ledgers as well as answering queries from students and collecting payments, via phone and email. This role will also support the Treasury team to maintain records of supplier bank details, ensuring the University pays suppliers successfully and is protected against fraud, and there will also be opportunities to work with other sections of the Financial Control section.

This is a great opportunity to work at the heart of the Finance Office, interacting with some of our key stakeholders and driving tangible benefits for the University.
