Specialist consultant with an interest in financial management and analysis for Roskilde University

Would you like to work with financial management at a university that works to create knowledge that makes a difference? Can you communicate understandingly to management and colleagues and can you execute and translate analyses into solutions for the benefit of the entire university while also contributing to ongoing financial monitoring, then you might be our new colleague in the budget team at Roskilde University.

About the Budget Unit

The Budget Unit is part of the central financial function at Roskilde University, and consists of five employees and a unit head. The primary focus is to deliver financial management that matches Roskilde University’s strategic focus areas and handles a mixed economy. The unit is part of the Department of Finance, Research Support and Campus (ØFC), which consists of about 50 employees

Your everyday life with us

In the central budget unit at Roskilde University, we continuously work to ensure a robust and future-proof financial framework. We work closely together on larger budgeting, analysis, and governance tasks. We are responsible for the annual budgeting process as well as ongoing activity and budget follow-up. As a central budget unit, the unit provides analyses, impact assessments and deliverables that support the management in the development of the university.

Right now we are in the process of consolidating a new financial model at the university, which is a development task that everyone in the budget unit contributes to.

We are looking for a person with experience from a politically governed organization and preferably with experience from an organization where you have worked across disciplines, and where you can see that finance supports the core disciplines for the benefit of the whole organization. We need you who can succeed together with a team but also can challenge on your own initiative.

Your upcoming tasks and responsibilities, in collaboration with the rest of the team, will be:

• Work with and strengthen financial management at the university, both technically and academically.
• Various financial analyses, also for external communication
• Stand-in for cross-cutting development tasks and responsible for their implementation
• Join as a permanent controller and sparring partner for a couple of the university’s budget units similar to your other colleagues.
• Budget preparation for the coming year, including proposals for concrete financial measures and communication of the university’s long-term finances.

Your education, experience and personal qualifications

You have experience with financial management and want to take on process responsibility both regarding our annual cycle and larger financial analyses that cross the organization. You have a long higher education and can see yourself in the following.

• You want to be part of a close teamwork, where the deliveries are often the product of a joint effort.
• You have a personality that enables you to build strong collaborative relationships across the university and you thrive with taking independent responsibility for progress in tasks.
• You can think analytically and translate knowledge into solutions and communicate them. It is an advantage to be used to working with Excel in analyses, but not a requirement
• You have good written and oral communication skills and a desire to be in dialogue with your surroundings.

We offer

• A varied daily life with the opportunity to influence your own task portfolio.
• A central role in a committed, informal team with a focus on collaboration and professionalism.
• A workday with room for both humor and professional immersion.
• An attractive flextime arrangement and the possibility of up to two days of home office per week.
• A meaningful job that contributes to educating the next generation in Denmark.
