Finance Transformation Subject Matter Expert | Manchester | Hybrid | 2 year FTC | Up to £80,000
We're partnering with a major organisation embarking on a significant SAP S/4HANA transformation programme to find a Finance Transformation Subject Matter Expert.
This is not a traditional finance role.
We're looking for someone who understands how a finance function operates, knows what good looks like and enjoys challenging existing processes to create something better. You'll play a key role in shaping the future finance function, acting as the bridge between Finance, Technology and the wider transformation team.
If you enjoy solving problems, improving processes and influencing change rather than simply reporting the numbers, this could be a brilliant opportunity.
Responsibilities
- Acting as the Finance SME within the Accounting & Finance Management workstream, providing finance expertise throughout the SAP S/4HANA programme.
- Working with Finance, IT and implementation partners to gather, challenge and translate business requirements into practical solutions.
- Reviewing and improving core finance processes, including month-end close, management reporting and financial planning activities.
- Supporting the design and implementation of SAP S/4HANA finance processes, ensuring solutions are scalable, efficient and aligned to business needs.
- Playing a key role in testing, data migration and business readiness activities to ensure a successful go-live and adoption of new ways of working.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About You
- Strong understanding of finance operations, management accounting and financial reporting.
- Experience working with SAP S/4HANA within a finance environment.
- Proven ability to challenge and improve finance processes and ways of working.
- Confident engaging with stakeholders across Finance, Technology and project teams.
- Experience of finance transformation, ERP implementation or major systems change programmes would be highly advantageous.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced finance professional to step away from pure BAU responsibilities and become a key part of a major transformation programme. You'll be involved throughout the full project lifecycle, helping to shape processes, influence system design and drive meaningful change across the finance function.
If you're someone who enjoys improving how finance operates, can bridge the gap between business and technology and wants to leave a lasting impact on a large-scale transformation programme, we'd love to hear from you.
