About Camden

At London Borough of Camden, we're building somewhere everyone can thrive. We want Camden to be a place where everyone has the opportunity to succeed and where our communities feel proud of the spaces they live, work and visit.

About the role

As a Compliance and Reporting Officer, you will provide critical support to Council services around purchasing and receipting processes, resolving complex queries across financial systems and producing reports. Working closely with the Compliance and Reporting Manager, you will prepare statutory reports and analyse performance data to identify trends, suggest service improvements, and utilise benchmarking data from other authorities to improve delivery. You'll play a key supporting role in transactional financial year-end processes and proactively advise management of any significant failures in control procedures. This role requires you to take responsibility for remedial actions when standard policies are disputed, making it a challenging but deeply rewarding opportunity to directly influence organizational efficiency and safeguard resources.

About you

We are looking for someone with a solid knowledge of income and payment processes, ideally within a large organisation. You have strong analytical skills and high attention to detail, with the unique ability to convert raw data and findings into persuasive, evidence-based arguments that influence management decisions. You are an excellent communicator who can build effective relationships across finance and non-finance teams, update policies or user guides, and confidently use your own judgment to resolve issues with minimal supervision.

Working for Camden

We're ready to welcome your ideas, your views, and your rebellious spirit. Help us redefine how we're supporting our communities, and we’ll redefine what a career can be. If that sounds good to you, we’d love to talk.

At Camden, you'll receive a host of benefits as well as joining a flexible working employer.
