- Oversee the design and validation of key financial data structures, including chart of accounts, cost centre hierarchies, allocation logic, planning dimensions, reporting outputs and reconciliations to source systems.
- Coordinate finance testing, reconciliation and business sign-off, ensuring system outputs are accurate, controlled and fit for use before deployment.
- Support change management, communications, user training and adoption activities to ensure the new FP&A system is successfully embedded into business-as-usual processes.
