Job description

Location : Flexible, with collaboration across Europe, Brazil, the Philippines and other group locations Reports to : Director, Finance Transformation Make finance transformation happen We are looking for an experienced Finance Transformation Delivery Lead to turn an ambitious FY27 change agenda into measurable, well-controlled delivery. This is a high-visibility role at the centre of a multi-entity, highly acquisitive international group.

You will connect strategy with execution across a portfolio of finance transformation programmes, ensuring that plans are integrated, dependencies are actively managed and teams are set up to deliver. A major part of the role will be supporting acquisitions. You will lead the finance integration journey from Day 1 readiness through to a stable handover, working with country finance teams, functional leaders, vendors and an offshore build team.

You will also help deliver major change across NetSuite, including chart of accounts and multi-book, O2C and P2P, e-invoicing and Brazil tax reform. This is an opportunity to shape how Finance Transformation delivers change: creating a consistent way of working, developing project managers and bringing the right level of pace, transparency and accountability to a complex portfolio.

What you'll do

Lead the integrated delivery plan

Own the single integrated plan across the FY27 finance transformation programmes. Set sequencing and priorities across each quarter, making dependencies, decision points, delivery gates and build capacity visible. Coordinate delivery across programmes so that teams can plan effectively and issues are addressed early. Work closely with the Senior ERP Manager to align demand with offshore build capacity.

Deliver acquisition integrations

Own the finance integration plan for each acquisition from Day 1 readiness through to handover. Coordinate entity onboarding, chart of accounts mapping, close activities and related finance readiness requirements. Work with country finance teams and other stakeholders to resolve issues and maintain momentum. Ensure every integration has a clear knowledge-capture deliverable, with appropriate funding agreed before delivery begins. Hand delivery to the named run-side integration lead once the agreed outcomes and handover requirements are complete.

Provide strong programme control

Maintain the portfolio RAID log and ensure risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies have clear owners and actions. Identify slippage early and drive recovery within agreed tolerances. Escalate when thresholds are crossed, including proposing recovery plans or a re-baseline to the Director. Prepare weekly reporting for the Director and the monthly programme board. Provide the evidence required for quarterly outcomes assessments.

Build trusted senior relationships

Act as the day-to-day delivery contact for country finance teams, finance function owners and vendors. Be the first point of resolution for delivery disputes involving country finance or stakeholders outside Finance. Build confidence through clear communication, fact-based reporting and consistent follow-through. Balance the needs of global standards with the practical realities of local finance teams and statutory requirements.

Develop the delivery team and approach

Lead, coach and develop the project managers across the portfolio. Establish a consistent delivery method, governance rhythm and set of templates. Create an environment where project managers can move between programmes quickly and work to a common standard. Promote practical knowledge sharing and ensure lessons from each migration are captured and reused. Drive readiness, go-live and handover

Coordinate the evidence required for each go/no-go decision. Ensure readiness risks are visible and owned before a programme reaches its critical gates. Produce a complete handover pack for the run owner. Obtain the run owner's sign-off, marking the formal end of delivery responsibility.
