Due to an internal promotion, we are seeking an experienced and skilled accountant to fill the role of Principal Accountant within the Financial Management service. Reporting to the Assistant Director of Finance, the postholder will provide leading financial expertise to:
* The City Council's wholly owned development company, Siglion Developments LLP
* The investment company, Siglion Investments LLP
* The City Council's joint venture, International Advanced Manufacturing Park LLP (IAMP)
Additionally, the role includes providing financial management support to the Economy and Place Directorate.
Siglion Developments LLP is a development company focusing on strategic sites like Riverside, Potters Hill, and Sunniside, aiming to support Sunderland's regeneration. Siglion Investments LLP manages a property investment portfolio, and IAMP is a joint venture to develop a world-class manufacturing park.
This role is not typical; it requires supporting the Economy and Place Directorate, ensuring sound financial management, producing statutory accounts, and supporting the companies and their Boards.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate financial leadership in a commercially focused environment, understanding technical financial reporting, project development, and appraisal. They must also provide sound financial advice and foster productive relationships within Siglion, the Finance Service, and the wider Council.
You will join a well-regarded finance team within a forward-looking Council. For an informal discussion, please contact Claire Emmerson, Assistant Director of Finance, at 07766 361591 or claire.emmerson@sunderland.gov.uk.
