About us
UCL's estate is the largest and most complex of any UK University. It's vital that we continue to expand and develop it so we can continue with our world-class teaching, our groundbreaking research, and our unwavering commitment to sustainability. That's why we have an 800m capital investment program to run over the next five years, with future strategies under development.
About the role
Within our Finance Business Partnering team, there's a dedicated team of business partners who support UCL's capital program and the major projects that make this up.

This is a great chance for you to be part of it!

Responsibilities will include supporting complex business cases as they develop, as well as producing robust and insightful financial modelling to support them.
A full range of duties can be found on the attached job description.
