Job description

Overview

We are seeking a hands-on Project Manager to support a BlackLine implementation within a growing finance transformation programme. This is an interim project until the end of the year, with the possibility of further extensions. The role is highly hybrid, requiring only a couple of days per month in the office, and focuses on delivery support rather than leadership or management.

Responsibilities

• Support the incremental deployment of BlackLine solutions (no single "big bang" go-live).
• Partner with integration partners responsible for system build and deployment.
• Facilitate workshops, design sessions, and user group meetings.
• Gather, analyse, and work with finance data to support implementation activities.
• Coordinate and track testing, training, and project milestones.
• Provide documentation, SOPs, and training materials for end users.
• Monitor adoption rates post go-live and deliver additional training / health checks.
• Support change management activities to help stakeholders adopt new processes.
• Engage with senior stakeholders while remaining hands-on with delivery tasks.
• Ensure timely follow-up on actions and coordinate between teams to maintain alignment.
• Contribute to project administration, reporting, and delivery support as required.

Skills & Experience Required

• Proven project management experience within finance transformation, ideally with BlackLine or similar financial close / reconciliation tools.
• Strong understanding of finance processes (Record-to-Report, reconciliation, close management).
• Hands-on, delivery-focused approach - comfortable facilitating workshops, coordinating testing/training, and working directly with data.
• Strong change management and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Ability to work independently without a team to delegate to.
• Experience working alongside system integrators and third-party vendors.
