The Oxford Department of International Development (ODID) is seeking to recruit a Finance Officer who will be working within the Refugee-Led Research Hub (RLRH).
The postholder will act as a key operational focal point for finance-related matters, working across the University of Oxford (as the host institution) and RLRH’s collaborating partner institutions, and coordinating closely with the ODID Finance team on financial processes, reporting, and compliance requirements. The role supports the coordination of financial information across multiple systems and organisations, ensuring accurate budget tracking, timely reporting, and adherence to relevant financial procedures and funder requirements.
It is expected that the postholder will work from RLRH’s headquarters office at the University of Oxford for an average of four days per week alongside RLRH and RSC colleagues.
The position is offered full-time and fixed-term until 30 September 2028
The successful candidate will hold a degree in a relevant field (e.g. finance, accounting, business administration) or equivalent professional experience, with evidence of relevant financial training or interest in pursuing a professional accountancy qualification (e.g. ACCA, CIMA) or equivalent. They will also have experience in a finance or financial administration role, preferably within higher education, the charity sector, research, or another complex, multi-stakeholder environment. Excellent attention to detail and a high level of accuracy are essential for this role.
