CRUD Data Engineer at Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs, Remote, 2 Months, £Contract Rate
Contract Spy Remote (United Kingdom)
About The Role : This role is to support the delivery of the Finance Service Offer Programme and more specifically the Finance Service Offer Change Project. Finance does not currently have a clear Finance Blueprint or Operating Model, leading to disparity between what Finance delivers and what our partners value and need. There is a lack of clarity on team's roles, responsibilities and priorities, causing blurred lines of governance and causing processes and approvals to be delivered inefficiently and ineffectively.

This will be achieved through developing a structured and strategic Finance Operating Model that aligns with organisational priorities and Government Functional Standards (GovS006).   The FSO Change Project is the first step for this as it is focused on transforming financial planning and ownership by simplifying systems, clarifying responsibilities,...
