The Opportunity
We are working with a growing international organisation undertaking a significant transformation of its business systems and ERP landscape.
As part of this investment, they are establishing a dedicated Business Systems Rollout Team to take greater ownership of ERP deployments and create a consistent, scalable approach to rolling out Infor CloudSuite across multiple sites.
They are now looking for an experienced Finance Functional Consultant to take ownership of finance process design and the functional deployment of the ERP across the organisation.
This is an opportunity to join an established transformation programme at an important stage, with multiple international rollouts planned across the coming years.

You will work closely with the Programme Manager, Solution Architect, Supply Chain & Operations Functional Lead, system integrators and local finance teams to ensure finance processes are standardised, efficient and consistently deployed across the organisation.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Owning end-to-end finance process design across the business.
- Covering key areas including General Ledger, Accounts Payable/Receivable, Costing, Intercompany and Tax.
- Leading fit-gap analysis for each new site deployment.
- Working with finance stakeholders to determine "adopt vs adapt" decisions.
- Ensuring the global finance template remains consistent and reusable.
- Leading finance process workshops with business and site stakeholders.
- Supporting and overseeing SIT and UAT activities.
- Coordinating local finance stakeholders through testing, training and go-live.
- Maintaining finance process documentation and rollout playbooks.
- Identifying process deviations and ensuring they are appropriately governed.
- Capturing lessons learned from each deployment and feeding these back into the core model.
- Working alongside the Solution Architect to ensure finance requirements translate effectively into the wider solution.
- Supporting the Programme Manager with site readiness and deployment planning.
