About the Role
Ready to lead finance excellence at one of Europe’s largest infrastructure projects? Want to shape the future of nuclear energy and help Britain achieve net zero? At EDF, Success is Personal – and with us, your career journey is yours to shape.
The Opportunity
As Senior Cash Management and Project Reporting Accountant, you place yourself at the centre of HPC’s financial operations. You take ownership of front‑office transaction activity, from preparing cash‑flow forecasts to supporting day‑to‑day Senior Cash Management and financing arrangements. You also prepare and monitor FX trades, shape overall cash positioning, and contribute to risk and analytics reporting.
You'll work in a hybrid pattern based at #AtlanticQuay, with the flexibility to work from home while spending at least two days a week on site to stay close to the teams and activities you support.
You’ll manage key relationships with internal and external stakeholders, providing accurate information to investors to secure agreement on equity funding essential to the project’s continuation. You will apply your expertise to strategically assess cash balances and ensure they align with the conditions of the shareholder agreement.
You will also safeguard the integrity of the cash environment—processes, procedures and data—while driving improvements across Senior Cash Management and special‑projects activities to ensure best practice. You’ll be responsible for any special ad hoc projects that arise, contributing to the evolving needs of HPC companies and projects.
This role gives you the chance to influence the financial heartbeat of a project that is critical to the UK’s future, refining processes and enhancing systems and banking platforms in partnership with EDF Energy Treasury.
