Senior Finance Manager (Capital)

Southwark is a dynamic borough in the centre of London, a truly global city. We are home to some of the country’s foremost artistic institutions, most vibrant communities, and iconic architecture. This brings change, challenges, and opportunity to all those who work here, pass through, or call Southwark their home. Our ability to develop, transform and renew the borough landscape helps to drive local growth.

These are exciting times for the Council with many developments taking place along the River Thames, at the Council estates at Elephant and Castle, at the former Surrey Docks at Canada Water, and through to Peckham and Camberwell. To help support the delivery of these projects we are recruiting a number of key roles in finance.

The Senior Finance Managers (Capital) will co-ordinate the Councils capital programme including capital monitoring reports to Cabinet and Council Assembly in consultation with service accountants and project managers. They will produce the annual Capital Strategy, work closely with the Treasury team and co-ordinate the capital closing tasks.

The ideal candidate will be a fully qualified accountant, or close to qualifying, with experience of capital accounting within a local government setting.
