About the Role

The Finance Solution Lead governs the overall Finance architecture within an S / 4HANA programme. You will drive workshops with CFOs, Finance Directors and Controllers to shape the target design ensuring that processes are harmonised and aligned to industry best practice across SAP Finance modules including GL, AP, AR, AA and Controlling. You will coordinate across functional leads to ensure that integration points are delivered seamlessly and you will act as the escalation point for design conflicts and solution risks.

This is a client‑facing leadership role that requires both breadth and depth of knowledge. You will balance strategic design authority with practical delivery assurance, ensuring that the solution is audit‑ready, risk‑managed and aligned with regulatory and business priorities.

• Oversee development of functional specifications for WRICEF objects, ensuring traceability to business requirements.
• Direct data migration strategy for Finance covering master data, balances, open items and assets.
• Ensure multiple mock conversions and reconciliations are executed with evidence of accuracy for financial balances.
• Govern testing cycles including SIT, UAT, regression and cutover rehearsals, ensuring entry / exit criteria are met.
• Provide assurance for financial close, parallel payroll runs and statutory compliance during implementation.
• Act as escalation point for Finance delivery issues, risks and integration dependencies.
• Mentor consultants, oversee deliverables and support knowledge transfer to client teams.

• Experience with global chart of accounts harmonisation and financial close processes.
• Demonstrated ability to manage integration points across Procurement, Sales, HR / Payroll and Projects.
• Familiarity with Group Reporting Central Finance and SAC integration desirable.
• Skilled in balancing template design with local statutory requirements in multi‑country rollouts.
• Recognised ability to govern solution design and resolve conflicts across teams.
