• Experience as an internal ERP super‑user, process owner, UAT lead or implementation partner point of contact.
• Experience in property, financial services or adjacent sectors.
• Practical experience across management/financial accounting, project accounting/billing, multi‑currency reporting, multi‑company consolidation, or purchasing/stock accounting.
• Pre‑sales, solution scoping, demonstration or proposal experience.
