Connect to your Industry
Our SAP Public Cloud Centre of Excellence in Manchester sits at the heart of some of the most complex, high-profile SAP Public Cloud programmes in the UK market, from greenfield public sector transformations to large-scale recovery engagements. We're growing fast, which means this is a rare chance to help shape a practice from the ground up rather than join one that's already fully formed.
This is a role with real ownership in it: you'd be leading Finance delivery across engagements, owning the relationships with client finance leaders, and setting the standard for how the practice delivers Finance on S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. You'd be building the method, not inheriting one that's already fixed.
Connect to your career at Deloitte
Deloitte drives progress. Using our vast range of expertise, we help our clients become leaders wherever they choose to compete. To do this, we invest in outstanding people. We build teams of future thinkers, with diverse talents and backgrounds, and empower them all to reach for and achieve more.
What brings us all together at Deloitte? It’s how we approach the thousands of decisions we make every day. How we behave, our beliefs and our attitudes. In other words: our values. Whatever we do, wherever we are in the world, we lead the way, serve with integrity, take care of each other, foster inclusion, and collaborate for measurable impact. These five shared values lead every decision we make and action we take, guiding us to deliver impact how and where it matters most.
Connect to your opportunity
You’ll lead Finance (FI/CO) delivery on S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition engagements, typically across more than one client at a time. That means owning the Finance solution end to end: shaping scope with client finance directors and programme leads, chairing Fit-to-Standard workshops, holding the design authority for Finance decisions, and taking accountability for configuration quality, testing, cutover and hypercare through to a stable go-live.
You'll manage the Finance team on your engagements, including senior consultants, consultants and analysts, and you'll be responsible for their development, their utilisation and the quality of their work. You'll also own the commercial health of your workstream: plan, budget, risk, change control and reporting to the engagement leadership.
Beyond delivery, you'll lead the Finance content in bids and proposals, working with our partners and bid teams to shape solutions, estimates and demonstrations. And you'll own and grow the Finance accelerators the CoE reuses across clients, so that each engagement makes the next one faster and more predictable. Both of these are core parts of the role rather than something to pick up in spare time.
Connect to your skills and professional experience
Attracting someone who shares our values, fits our culture and identifies with our purpose matters just as much to us as your experience. Here's what we're looking for:
- You hold a position when it matters. You can tell a finance director that standard is the right answer, and explain why, without losing the room. You can also tell a programme director that the plan is at risk, and what you're doing about it.
- You bring people on with you. You've built and led teams, you'd rather grow the people around you than keep the interesting work to yourself, and you take responsibility for their careers as well as their deliverables.
- You think commercially. You understand how a fixed fee is built, where margin is won and lost on a Finance workstream, and how to have a scope conversation that protects both the client outcome and the engagement.
