DCMS is the dedicated department to the UK’s cultural, media, sporting, tourism and charity sectors, the work of the department supports growing the economy and enriching lives across the country. Our sectors support over 3.8 million jobs and our exports, from the Premier League to films, are in huge demand around the world. At DCMS, we deliver an incredible impact on people’s everyday lives - from supporting local museums, galleries, cinemas and theatres to delivering sports pitches and youth facilities, or backing charities making a huge difference right across the country.

The team is the hub for all financial operational and control functions including treasury management, VAT, purchase to pay support and manages the relationship with DCMS’ shared services provider.

  • Provision of sound technical advice on complex accounting, taxation and budgeting issues to a wide range of stakeholders.
  • Ensuring that the Department’s financial systems, cash management and cash forecasting regimes run securely, smoothly and efficiently.
  • Key influencer in the Matrix cross-departmental cluster to drive decision making for the new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system which DCMS will be an early adopter of.
