Introducing the Trainline Finance Systems Team 👋
The Finance Systems Team plays an important role in ensuring Trainline’s Finance function and wider business have reliable, effective systems that support day-to-day financial activity, reporting, and control. As Finance Systems Administrator, you’ll help keep our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Procurement, and Timesheet tools running smoothly, supporting users across the business and helping to minimise disruption to key financial processes.
In this role, you’ll take ownership of first-line systems support, configuration, and controls, working closely with Finance, Technology, business stakeholders, and third-party partners. You’ll also contribute to continuous improvement across Finance systems, helping to simplify, standardise, and automate ways of working, including through finance transformation initiatives and emerging AI capabilities.
In this role as the Finance Systems Administrator, you will...🚄
- Provide first-line support across a range of Finance systems, managing and maintaining the Jira ticket queue and responding to user queries in a timely, helpful, and clear way.
- Investigate issues, identify key information, and escalate high-priority or complex matters to second-line support colleagues, wider business teams, or third-party partners where needed.
- Configure Trainline’s Finance systems to support a secure and stable user experience, including access management, approval workflows, and reporting configurations.
- Operate key control processes relating to Trainline’s financial data, ensuring activity is completed in line with relevant internal policies and control requirements.
- Partner with Finance and non-Finance stakeholders to understand system needs, explain solutions clearly, and support effective use of Finance tools across the business.
- Challenge existing ways of working in a constructive way, contributing ideas to team discussions and sharing progress, risks, and opportunities with senior team members.
- Support continuous improvement across Finance and Technology processes, identifying opportunities to simplify, standardise, automate, and enhance reporting, controls, and financial insight.
- Contribute to finance transformation activity, including exploring how emerging technologies such as AI can support better processes, improved user experience, and stronger operational efficiency.
