Finance Analyst

Role Overview 

The Finance Analyst will support the effective delivery of the finance function across QTS, contributing to a range of transactional and operational finance activities. The post holder will work closely with the Head of Finance and wider finance team, providing flexible and responsive finance support across QTS.

The post holder will be expected to work with a high degree of autonomy, managing their own workload, prioritising competing demands and proactively resolving issues within their area of responsibility, escalating where appropriate. While the role supports all aspects of the finance function, the primary focus of responsibilities will be determined by business need and team structure (currently income, invoicing and debtor management). The allocation of duties may change over time to reflect service priorities, workload, development opportunities or team capacity.
