• Develop and execute business test scenarios, including User Acceptance Testing, to assess whether proposed system solutions meet functional, control and reporting requirements.
• Support data migration by working with finance and project teams to review data requirements, identify data quality issues, validate migrated information and ensure appropriate reconciliation and controls.
• Support change management activities, including stakeholder engagement, user communications, training and the development of guidance materials, to facilitate smooth adoption of the new system.
• Maintain functional documentation including process maps, business requirements and functional specifications.
• Support post-implementation maintenance and continuous improvement by coordinating functional issues, assessing business impacts of system updates and identifying enhancements to address business and regulatory changes.
• Support project governance by monitoring functional workstream progress, risks, issues, deliverables and intended outcomes, and provide clear updates and recommendations to project stakeholders.

• Good working knowledge of finance functions and processes, such as Accounts Payable, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, financial analysis or Corporate Finance, including relevant governance, internal controls and compliance requirements.
• Strong analytical and evaluation skills, with the ability to assess processes, data and proposed solutions, identify gaps and translate findings into practical recommendations.
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to work effectively across finance and technology teams.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
• Problem-solving mindset and a proactive approach to overcoming challenges.
