This position requires a candidate with proven experience managing complex financial system transitions and a strong focus on data quality and stakeholder collaboration.

Ideal candidate:

• Proven, recent experience undertaking a similar project
• Private sector accounting background

• Proven communication and stakeholder management skills
• Proven Knowledge of IFRS principles
