Job description

Senior Manager – Finance Systems (Finance, HR & Legal)

Amsterdam, Netherlands (VISA offered but no relocation, must commit to being based in Amsterdam for 2 years)

€2.5bn global business | Greenfield build | Private Equity-backed carve-out

Our client is building something rare: a brand-new technology and finance backbone for a $2.5bn global organisation, supported by a leading private equity sponsor. Following a carve-out, we are establishing a greenfield ERP and Finance systems landscape that will become the foundation for our future growth.

This is not a “keep the lights on” role. It is a chance to design, implement, and own a new Finance systems environment from day one – with full visibility across Europe, North America and Latin America.

The Role

As Senior Manager – Finance Systems, you will:

• Lead the design and implementation of their new Finance ERP (SAP or Dynamics; Infor experience a bonus).
• Shape and guide the post-carve-out systems landscape, ensuring reporting, consolidation and compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
• Work closely with Finance leadership, external partners and a systems integrator to deliver a robust, scalable Finance platform.
• Manage and grow a small team (3 directs) while ensuring effective use of external consultants.
• Act as the subject matter expert in Finance technology, bridging IT and the business.

What We’re Looking For

• ~10 years’ experience in Finance technology leadership within a large, complex organisation. (not too much more than this, it is not a high-level consultant role, and we require a Subject matter expert, hands-on)
• Subject matter expertise in ERP Finance (SAP preferred; Dynamics also considered).
• Strong grasp of finance processes (reporting, consolidation, AP/AR, close cycles, compliance).
• Experience leading small teams and managing external vendors/SIs.
• Broad international exposure and comfort working in a centralised, multi-country environment.
• Pragmatic, delivery-focused, and able to operate under pressure in a fast-paced carve-out environment.

Nice-to-haves:

• Prior carve-out / transformation experience.
• Consumer goods or manufacturing industry background.
• Exposure to HRIS or LegalTech systems.

Why Apply?

• Greenfield impact: Build the Finance backbone of a new global organisation.
• Scale: Work in a $2.5bn, PE-backed company with operations across three continents.
• Career growth: Opportunity to deliver at pace, with visibility to Group leadership and investors.
• Flexibility: This can be a long-term career platform or a 2-3 year transformation challenge before moving on – both are welcome.
• Location: Amsterdam (visa sponsorship available, relocation costs not covered).
