Salary: Competitive + bonus and benefits

We are seeking an experienced Finance Transformation Manager to play a key role in evolving a global finance function within a complex, multi-entity organisation.

This role sits at the intersection of financial operations, commercial insight, and systems architecture. You will be instrumental in consolidating data across a complex legacy systems landscape, building commercial intelligence platforms, and stress-testing financial improvements to ensure they translate into real, sustainable value.

This is not a traditional transformation role. While you'll design and implement governance frameworks, processes, and methodologies, the real impact comes from validating what works; challenging assumptions with rigor, and build systems that connect sources into a single source of truth for the business.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and deliver a consolidated financial reporting platform, bringing together data from multiple ERP systems to create a single, reliable commercial view of business performance.


• Establish robust data governance, validation, and reporting processes, mapping transaction flows across systems and ensuring the accuracy, consistency, and sustainability of reported financial improvements.


• Partner with regional finance teams to analyse and validate performance, assessing cost savings, margin improvements, working capital gains, and cash flow initiatives while differentiating recurring benefits from one-off impacts.


• Develop enhanced commercial insight and decision-making capabilities, enabling analysis across products, customers, geographies, and business segments beyond traditional statutory reporting.


• Bridge finance, business, and technology functions, leveraging AI and automation to streamline reporting, translating operational requirements into technical solutions, and documenting processes to support future transformation initiatives.

Who You Are:

• Strong finance and accounting expertise/background


• Experience leading finance systems and transformation initiatives


• Commercially minded and data-driven, with the ability to challenge assumptions and validate business benefits


• Proven ability to build processes and frameworks in complex environments, working effectively across finance, technology, and operational teams to deliver sustainable change.


• Adaptable and proactive, comfortable leveraging AI and automation tools to improve efficiency and navigating ambiguity.
