The role

We’re looking for a confident and collaborative programme finance manager to support the financial aspects of our loan and grant programmes, particularly within the transport and service delivery teams.

In this role, you will lead on contractual reporting, business critical projects and be the key link between our programme delivery and finance teams, ensuring we manage public funds responsibly and deliver great customer service.

We work closely with colleagues across Energy Saving Trust and with external partners to ensure we deliver excellent results.

What you will do

  • Oversee the financial governance of all loan and grant schemes.
  • Oversee financial planning, forecasting and reporting for loan and grant schemes.
  • Ensure accurate forecasting, regular reconciliation of budgets, and timely delivery of key reports, including quarterly fund balance statements.
  • Act as a key contact for government funders, providing accurate and timely financial updates.
  • Improve systems and processes to boost efficiency and customer experience.
  • Collaborate closely with finance colleagues to align financial data with programme activity.

What you will bring

  • Experience managing financial reporting, forecasting and governance within a programme or operational context.
  • Strong leadership skills and a commitment to team development.
  • Great communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • A problem-solving mindset with the ability to balance detail and big-picture thinking.
  • A focus on improving customer service and internal processes.
  • Stakeholder management skills, demonstrating integrity and diplomacy.

For more information, please see the job description

Please submit an anonymised CV and cover letter, removing your name, address, email address, and any other identifying details. Please note, applications submitted without a cover letter may be rejected.

As part of our recruitment process, we conduct background checks on all candidates who receive a conditional offer of employment. The nature of the scheme that we are contracted to work on with Scottish Government means that we are required to comply with UK Government standards when carrying out pre‑employment checks for new starters. This check is known as the Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS).

BPSS checks include: • Verification of identity • Verification of right to work in the UK • Verification of your previous 3 years of employment history, including periods spent overseas • A basic criminal record check (DBS), and where relevant, criminal record information from countries where you have lived for significant periods

Information obtained will only be used for the purposes of assessing your suitability for the role. Please note that if successful, any offer of employment made will be conditional pending the successful completion of the BPSS checks. To meet BPSS requirements, candidates must hold valid UK Right to Work documentation. If you have lived or worked overseas, these periods can be verified as long as the relevant evidence can be provided.

More information on the checks can be found here: https://www.gov.scot/publications/baseline-personnel-security-standard-on-amiqus-processing-data-privacy-notice/

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
