This is an exciting time to be joining Cardiff University in a finance role as we are transforming how and where we provide our Finance Services. This includes the creation of a Finance Services Unit which will bring together all operational Finance services across the University into one Unit.

This post incorporates operational Finance work and therefore the location and reporting arrangements are likely to be subject to change once we have established the Finance Services Unit.
