Job description

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Finance Automation Solution Designer, Global based in Ireland.

We are seeking an experienced Finance Automation Solution Designer to lead the design of a global finance transformation programme built around Redwood Finance Automation. The role focuses on automating key Record-to-Report processes, including period-end close, account reconciliation, journal processing, and financial reporting. You will take ownership of the solution design, working closely with finance stakeholders to assess existing processes and define the future-state operating model. You will translate business requirements into practical, scalable designs that engineering teams can implement and test. From initial workshops through build, testing, and go-live, you will ensure the solution meets operational, control, and audit requirements. This is a remote contract opportunity for a specialist with proven Redwood implementation experience.

Accountabilities

You will own the end-to-end solution design and guide its implementation, ensuring that finance automation delivers measurable improvements while maintaining robust financial controls. Your responsibilities will include:

• Lead current-state assessments of Record-to-Report processes in collaboration with controllers and finance operations stakeholders.
• Design the target automation solution across period-end close, account reconciliation, journal processing, and intercompany activities.
• Document the solution design and define how standard Redwood capabilities should be used, identifying where custom extensions are justified.
• Design integrations between Redwood Finance Automation, SAP S/4HANA or ECC, and other relevant source systems.
• Define balance sheet auto-certification rules, approval workflows, internal controls, and audit trails to support compliant and auditable financial processes.
• Guide engineering teams throughout development and review delivered solutions against the agreed design.
• Develop the test strategy and acceptance criteria in collaboration with finance users.
• Support testing and go-live activities, resolving design challenges as they arise.
• Define a roadmap for subsequent phases of finance automation following the initial implementation.

Requirements

The ideal candidate combines substantial finance transformation expertise with hands-on solution design experience in Redwood Finance Automation. You should be comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders and translating complex finance processes into actionable technical designs. Key qualifications include:

• Proven ownership of solution design for at least one live Redwood Finance Automation (RunMyFinance) implementation, including leading design workshops and personally producing the solution documentation.
• At least 8 years of experience in finance transformation, finance systems, or Record-to-Report process design.
• Working knowledge of SAP FI/CO or an equivalent Oracle finance environment.
• Understanding of how financial close and reconciliation data flows between ERP systems and finance automation platforms.
• Experience facilitating workshops with finance stakeholders and translating business requirements into solutions that can be built and tested.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, including the ability to engage senior finance leaders and confidently defend solution design decisions.
• Professional fluency in English.

Additional experience that would be advantageous:

• Hands-on Redwood configuration or development experience.
• Familiarity with BlackLine, Trintech, or SAP Advanced Financial Closing.
• A relevant finance qualification, such as ACA, ACCA, or CIMA.
• Experience in financial services or another regulated industry, particularly with SOX or comparable audit and control frameworks.

Benefits

• Competitive daily rate of GBP 450 for consultants based in the United Kingdom.
• Daily rate of EUR 450 for consultants based in Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Czechia.
• Fully remote working arrangement.
• Contract opportunity with an expected start date of 15 November 2026.
• Opportunity to lead a significant finance automation programme and shape its solution design from initial assessment through go-live.
• Duration to be confirmed.
