Finance Manager - Digital Transformation

Key Responsibilities:

Systems adoption, training and support

• Support the setup of consolidation platform (Prophix) and Tableau, including workflows, dashboards and reporting frameworks.
• Design and deliver training that leaves finance colleagues genuinely self-sufficient - workshops, one-to-one coaching, written guides.
• Act as the practical first point of contact for finance users across countries when systems or data do not behave as expected.
• Increase the use of the platforms, particularly in centralising data that currently lives in scattered spreadsheets - leases, warehouse and unutilised space, etc.
• Identify potential system upgrade to drive efficiency.

Data validation and reporting

• Ensure(validate) data flows correctly between finance systems and business platforms, and that reporting draws on one consistent source.
• Build validation procedures that catch bad data at the point of entry rather than at month-end - checks that block, not checks that warn.
• Extract, parse and interrogate large financial datasets: charts of accounts, journal populations, trial balances, intercompany transactions, legacy multi-sheet workbooks.
• Work in partnership with the Finance Systems team, who own the systemij in production, so that transformation changes land cleanly in the production environment.

Programming and automation

• Build and maintain scripts and applications that improve efficiency in reporting, reconciliation, forecasting and controls monitoring.
• Develop computation engines that replace manual schedules - lease accounting, allocations, intercompany matching, automated actuals feeds
• Design data capture tools with built-in validation, so that structure and control are part of the tool rather than a separate discipline.
• Build dashboards and visualisations that tum financial data into insights the business and the CFO can act on.

Process improvement across the finance cycle

• Identify opportunities to optimise, automate and simplify processes across Record-to-Report, Procure-to-Pay, Order-to-Cash and FP&A- with evidence, not assertion.
• Support the redesign of accounting processes: payment approvals, overhead management, cost allocation, revenue recognition and accrual procedures, lease accounting workflows, PP&E and the general ledger close.
• Support transformation projects from design through implementation to adoption - requirements gathering, configuration, data migration, testing, go-live and post-implementation support.

Job Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Business Ad.min or Finance.
• Minimum 5-8 years of relevant experience in finance, with at least 2 years in a digital transformation, systems, or process improvement role.
• Strong background in accounting operations, system implementation, and financial reporting (IFRS, GAAP).
• Hands-on experience with data visualization tools (Tableau, Power BI).
• Oracle BBS experience preferred or similar equally relevant - covering reporting, extracts and integrations.
• Consolidation or EPM platform experience, for example Prophix, Sigma Consol or similar.
• Advance Excel skill required (Macro development), while having Python knowledge will be a plus.
• Strong project and change management, problem-solving, and analytical skills.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities.
• Logistics, supply chain or REIT background preferred.
