Baker Charles is partnering with a large, international group undergoing a significant finance transformation, looking to appoint a Financial Systems Manager into a high-impact role.
This position acts as the owner of the group’s consolidation system (Oracle EPM Cloud – FCCS / Hyperion) and sits at the intersection of finance, systems, and process improvement. It is a critical role focused on driving standardisation, efficiency, and enhanced decision-making across a complex, multi-entity, multi-currency environment.
You will take ownership of the consolidation process and system, with a strong focus on optimisation, governance, and stakeholder support, including:
* Acting as process owner for financial consolidation, defining best practice and driving continuous improvement
* Supporting finance teams globally with validation issues, mapping queries, and submission challenges during month-end
* Acting as the central SME during close, ensuring timely and accurate submissions across c.20 entities and 100+ users
* Leading enhancements to the consolidation system to improve data quality, automation, and reporting efficiency
* Redesigning mappings, hierarchies and data structures to reduce manual intervention
* Managing system updates and patches within the EPM environment, including testing and impact assessment
* Embedding planning, budgeting and forecasting capabilities within the system, including scenario and what-if analysis
* Governing change requests, ensuring system integrity and robust testing of updates
* Driving KPI and reporting improvements across the division
* Working closely with senior finance, IT, and transformation teams on strategic initiatives
You will be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with a strong background in group reporting and multi-entity consolidation. You will bring proven experience working with financial consolidation systems, ideally Oracle EPM Cloud (FCCS) or Hyperion, and be comfortable operating at the intersection of finance and technology with a clear systems accountant mindset.
You will have a strong understanding of financial statements, data flows, and controls, with the ability to navigate between them confidently. Experience operating in a BAU systems environment, alongside driving incremental process improvements, will be key.
The role requires a confident stakeholder manager, capable of influencing and supporting teams across multiple geographies, combined with a structured and analytical approach to problem solving. You will be a self-starter, comfortable operating in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment, particularly around month-end.
