HEAR FROM ROSIE DRINKWATER OBE, THE UNIVERSITY’S GROUP FINANCE DIRECTOR.
ROSIE LEADS THE FINANCE AND ESTATES GROUP AT WARWICK, WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON STRATEGY AND STRATEGIC PROJECTS.
“Warwick is renowned for the quality of its professional services and the finance team is no exception. The strength of our financial position has enabled us to take the leaps that established us as a top-10 Russell Group university in what is, in UK Higher Education terms, a very short time. As we continue on our innovative and ambitious trajectory in really quite challenging times, we need that strong financial underpinning now more than ever.
When you join Finance you become an integral part of a network of over 200 staff and there are fantastic opportunities for career progression. I joined Warwick in 1993 as a Senior Assistant Finance Officer and gained invaluable experience in a number of positions before being appointed Group Finance Director in 2011.
I’m proud of how Finance staff contribute to the University’s success and that we are very much at the heart of the University community. I would love for you to join us on this exciting journey as Warwick strives to bring together our unique strengths of academic excellence, industrial partnerships, creativity and enterprise to plan with confidence for a more impactful future.”
