Location: North Glasgow
Function: Finance / Group Financial Control
Job Type: Permanent
Level: Management / Senior Professional
About the Role
Our client is undertaking a significant Finance Transformation programme designed to modernise and enhance its finance operating model, processes, systems, and controls.
As Record to Report Workstream Manager, you will play a key role in supporting the design and delivery of the future Record to Report (R2R) operating model. Working closely with the R2R Workstream Lead, you will help drive improvements across the full R2R lifecycle, ensuring processes are standardised, well controlled, efficient, and capable of delivering high-quality financial information.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced finance professional with strong Record to Report expertise who enjoys working in transformation, process improvement, and ERP-enabled change environments.
Key Responsibilities:
- Support the design and implementation of the target operating model for Record to Report, establishing clear process ownership, standardised processes, and effective governance.
- Coordinate improvements to the period-end close, including close calendars, dependencies, hand-offs, governance, and escalation processes.
- Develop and enhance journal governance, including journal categories, approval requirements, supporting documentation, and control standards.
- Drive standardisation of balance sheet reconciliation processes, including ownership, review requirements, ageing, and issue resolution.
- Support process design and continuous improvement across intercompany, fixed assets, accruals and prepayments, consolidation, and financial reporting.
- Help develop consistent statutory and management reporting processes, ensuring clear requirements, ownership, data inputs, and reporting timetables.
- Work closely with Finance Controls, Policy, and other stakeholders to ensure processes incorporate appropriate controls, compliance requirements, segregation of duties, and audit considerations.
- Act as a Record to Report subject matter expert within the wider finance transformation and ERP implementation programme.
- Translate business and finance requirements into effective process, system, data, and reporting requirements, ensuring these are reflected in solution design and delivery.
- Identify and manage dependencies across R2R and related areas including master data, source systems, tax, treasury, and business-unit finance teams.
- Use data, activity analysis, and other diagnostic tools to identify inefficiencies, quantify improvement opportunities, and support prioritisation.
- Develop and monitor R2R performance measures and KPIs, covering areas such as close performance, reconciliation completion, journal quality, reporting timeliness, and control adherence.
- Support change management, communications, and stakeholder engagement to ensure successful adoption of new processes, systems, and controls.
- Coordinate multiple workstreams, manage dependencies, and ensure key deliverables remain on track within a fast-moving transformation environment.

What You'll Be Doing
This role sits at the intersection of Finance, Process, and Transformation. You will help shape how R2R operates in the future while also supporting the practical delivery of those changes.
