The University of Leeds is seeking an experienced, customer-focused individual to support the establishment and ongoing development of the expenses service and hybrid expenses team.

This hands-on role offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to developing the hybrid expenses function during a period of significant systems and process change, including the implementation of SAP Concur. You will play a key role in driving consistency, compliance, and continuous improvement, supporting the delivery of an efficient, risk-based, and customer-focused expenses service as the future model is established.

Working closely with, and supported by, the Expenses Supervisor and Payables Manager, you will take responsibility for helping to shape processes, build team capability, and ensure the consistent audit and approval of expense reimbursement claims across the University.

Through the testing and UAT of the new system you will be expected to gain a deep understanding of the University's financial procedures, to ensure compliance of expense claims received.

A broad and exciting role, you will have the ability to excel in systems and processes, develop team leadership skills and measurable delivery of exceptional customer experience.

As a team player and key part of the Payment Operations team, you will build relationships across Finance and the wider University Services and Faculties to drive and implement continuous improvement ensuring processes are efficient, effective, fully compliant with all associated financial regulations, governance and statutory obligations and reduce risk.

This role will be based on the university campus with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
