An opportunity has arisen for a Finance Business Partner to join our busy, professional finance department.
The successful candidate will be a qualified accountant and have experience in management accounts and business partnering. There will be exposure to all levels of management, both within the finance team and across our pathology labs.
The role reports to the Finance Business Partner – Genomics and acts as an intermediary between the central Finance Team and Synnovis Analytics’ & Services’ operations. The role requires proactive collaboration with the business and would suit someone looking for a semi-autonomous position with plenty of scope to add value.
You will be responsible for working closely with senior operations staff, producing, interpreting, and communicating the financial results. You’ll partner with them to take the actions necessary to deliver the budget on target, as well as driving further improvements in the financial performance of the business.
Each month, you’ll gather financial and operational data from various sources and produce the month-end reporting packs, which are key to interpreting performance. You will partner with the site leads to take management actions based on the information.
You will analyse and monitor financial information and produce variance analysis, budgeting, and re-forecasting. You will also provide monthly contractual reconciliations, data, and invoicing, as well as analysis to support business cases and new test pricing, which drive the business forward.
Working within the Finance Business Partnering team, you’ll partner across our business, working closely with Operations to drive maximum performance.
The role is based at our Head Office, but you’ll need to engage with our Operations teams and stakeholders across all our hospital sites.
You’ll be supporting the financial management information reporting for the South-East Genomics Laboratory Hub contract. This role is a fantastic opportunity to take your next step in commercial accounting and add value.
Your Development and Learning
You will have a suite of learning opportunities available through The Synnovis Way Development programme, which is used across Synnovis to enable you to reach your potential, learn new skills, and achieve your goals.
This is managed between you and your line manager in line with your own personal and professional development ambitions.
You can apply for finance to drive innovation and service development for the benefit of patients through our Innovation Accelerator Fund.
At Synnovis, we are currently shaping the future of pathology services by creating a world-leading Hub and Spoke pathology network with our NHS partners. A large part of this modernisation will involve moving 70% of our services to a purpose-built, state-of-the-art Hub laboratory in the heart of London.
For now, the job you are applying for will be based at one of our hospital sites. However, from 1 April 2024, our people and services will start to move to our Hub laboratory in Blackfriars, Southwark, SE1, with some work remaining in refurbished essential services laboratories across our hospital network, focusing on the rapid turnover of urgent tests. Please do ask your recruiting manager if you wish to find out more.
We have now moved to our new office in the Hub building, located in Blackfriars, Southwark, SE1.
