About the role
We’re on an exciting journey to modernise our finance function, by making optimal use of our current ERP and ledger systems in the short term, while exploring the implementation of a new, cutting-edge ERP solution in the longer term.

* Drive adoption of new systems and processes through effective change management, communication, and training.
* Enhance financial performance with advanced modelling, scenario planning, and improved reporting tools.

* Proven experience in finance transformation, process improvement, or ERP system implementation in complex environments.
* Hands-on ERP project experience (e.g., SAP, Oracle, NetSuite) including requirements gathering, data migration, and user training.
* Strong knowledge of financial processes: reporting, forecasting, budgeting, and internal controls.
* Proficiency in Power BI and Power Query, with the ability to design interactive, user-friendly dashboards and automate data transformation processes.
* Exceptional project management skills with a track record of delivering on time and within scope.
* Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement abilities.
* Experience transitioning from legacy finance systems to modern ERP platforms desirable
