**What does an Corporate Ops (Finance) Officer do?**:
As an Corporate Ops (Finance) Officer, you will be in charge of ensuring the smooth day-to-day running of OGP finance alongside accompanying corporate ops processes. This entails covering key finance ops workflows such as procurement, reconciliation, budgeting, payments, approvals, legal and audit. You will work with both internal stakeholders and other government stakeholders to ensure efficient and effective delivery of financial operations.

Concretely, this means that you will:

- Manage baseline procurement, financial record-keeping and asset management processes with mínimal supervision.
- Work with internal stakeholders, legal, procurement and finance team to ensure proper filing and tracking of legal and financial documents, records and other administrative matters.
- Work closely with the Finance manager on high-value purchases, budgeting, tracking and reporting.
- Execute projects to continually improve finance processes and platforms.

**What it is like working here**:
**Rapid Prototyping** - Instead of spending too much time debating ideas we prefer testing them. This identifies potential problems quickly, and more importantly, conveys what is possible to others easily.

**Ownership** - In addition to technical responsibilities, this means having opinions on what is being done and having ideas on what should be done next. Building something that you believe in is the best way to build something good.

**Continuous Learning** - Working on new ideas often means not fully understanding what you are working on. Taking time to learn new architectures, frameworks, technologies, and even languages is not just encouraged but essential.

**We look for people who**:

- Have experience in Procurement, Finance, or related fields. Experience working in a tech organisation and/or government is a plus.
- Are well-organised with a keen attention to detail - You’d need to follow through plans to implement in detail, and would also need to be comfortable with handling budget and procurement data and processes
- Are innovative problem-solvers - You need to critically evaluate the ways in which the team can be run more optimally, and be able to think out-of-the-box when coming up with solutions.
- Take initiative to make things happen - Our job is to push for change in government, so we need to challenge the status quo and not wait for instruction.
- Have solid communication skills - You need to be able to write clearly and concisely, and have good emotional intelligence to know how to build trust and get people working together
- Have good emotional intelligence - You need to have a good sense of the team’s working dynamics and build trust with various stakeholders.
- Want to work for the public good - We are public servants, we serve the public. This sometimes means ignoring political pressures and misguided policies. We need people who will push back if something is not in the public interest.
