Head of EPM FCCS & Financial Data Structure

Cambridge | Hybrid Working (3 Days per Week) | Competitive Salary

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced finance systems and transformation professional to play a pivotal role in a major finance transformation programme within a large, complex organisation. Reporting into senior finance leadership, you will lead the development, governance and optimisation of financial data structures and group reporting capabilities, ensuring the organisation can deliver accurate, insightful and robust financial and statutory reporting.

This is a highly visible role at the heart of a significant transformation programme, offering the chance to shape the future of financial reporting, planning and budgeting across a diverse and complex environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the strategic management and governance of financial data structures and chart of accounts development.
  • Own and maintain FCCS data structures, integrity and data quality to support group and statutory reporting requirements.
  • Drive the design and delivery of enhanced financial reporting solutions and processes.
  • Act as the finance subject-matter expert, ensuring systems and reporting capabilities meet business requirements.
  • Partner with finance, transformation, technology and operational stakeholders to deliver programme objectives.
  • Manage project work streams, internal leads and third-party implementation partners.
  • Support the design and implementation of planning, budgeting and performance management solutions.
  • Ensure robust controls, reconciliations and governance frameworks are embedded across financial reporting processes.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
