Procurement Structure Set-Up

  • Design and implement Money Ready’s procurement framework, including policy, supplier due diligence, purchase order workflow, and contract register
  • Onboard suppliers, establish due diligence records, and ensure procurement activity aligns with Money Ready’s values and financial controls
  • Support tendering processes and contract renewals during the contract period
  • Handover all procurement structures, processes, and documentation to the Finance Assistant once the framework is fully operational, ensuring a smooth transition

Finance & Month-End Support

Prepare month-end reconciliations for projects and funding

Experience

  • Substantial experience preparing grant financial information for proposals and reports, including budget construction and funder-facing financial narrative
  • Proven track record of grant compliance, donor reporting and managing restricted fund schedules within a charity or not-for-profit environment
  • Experience designing or implementing a procurement framework, including supplier onboarding, purchase order processes and contract management
  • Experience of month-end reconciliations, audit schedules, and supporting external audit

Qualifications

  • Part-qualified accountant – ACCA, CIMA, ACA or equivalent
  • AAT Level 4 (or equivalent experience) considered where substantial grant and procurement experience is demonstrated

Systems

  • Experience of Sage Intacct is highly desirable; candidates with experience of other cloud-based finance systems will be considered
  • Strong Excel skills; familiarity with Salesforce is an advantage.

Skills & Attributes

  • Analytical and highly detail-focused, with strong organisational and prioritisation skills
  • Ability to interpret and communicate financial data clearly to non-finance colleagues and funders
  • Self-starter able to work independently and manage competing priorities within a part-time contract
  • Commitment to process discipline, cross-team communication and knowledge transfer
