A Functional Expert Driving Finance Transformation

Responsibilities

• Solution Design & Implementation : Conduct deep‑dive analyses of complex client requirements through virtual workshops and process mapping sessions. Translate business needs into robust, scalable, best‑practice‑aligned solution designs, configure market‑leading cloud applications, build financial models, develop integration workflows, and create sophisticated reports and dashboards.
• Functional Solution Design : Lead the functional design of financial systems, conducting workshops with Controllers and FP&A Directors to define Chart of Accounts structures, design financial consolidation logic, and map "Record‑to‑Report" or "Plan‑to‑Perform" processes, ensuring alignment with IFRS / GAAP and strategic reporting needs.
• Finance Transformation : Advise clients on best‑practice finance operating models, streamline period‑end close cycles, automate reconciliation processes, and design driver‑based forecasting models that provide actionable commercial insights.
• Client Collaboration : Serve as the translator between IT and Finance, managing relationships with finance stakeholders across Europe and articulating how cloud solutions impact day‑to‑day accounting operations and strategic planning.
• Project Delivery : Manage specific functional workstreams (e.g., General Ledger, Consolidation, Planning) with autonomy. Own the creation of functional specifications, UAT scripts, and training materials for finance users.
• On‑site Engagement : While primarily based in Belfast (hybrid), travel to client sites across Europe for critical design workshops and go‑live support, ensuring the "human" side of finance transformation is managed effectively.
