Manager / Senior Manager - Finance Tranformation
What will you be doing?
Process re-engineering
Conduct structured working sessions with finance function owners
Map current state processes — not to document them, but to find what should be eliminated, redesigned, or automated
Define future state process architecture that is modular, scalable, and built for a handling tomorrow's volume
Translate re-engineered process designs into clear requirements that the product and engineering teams can build upon
Adoption and continuous improvement
Own the adoption loop once a module goes live - track whether the system is being used as designed, surface where it isn't, and build the requirements case for V2 and V3
Work directly with finance function owners to drive behavioural change alongside system change
Define and track module-level metrics that measure whether transformation is delivering outcomes and not just activity
Working rhythm
Operate as a structured, disciplined partner to finance function owners - not an external consultant but a permanent team member with continuity and accountability
Work in close coordination with the CIO organisation to build systems that deliver the outcomes
What to look for:
Finance domain fluency: Knows enough about how finance functions operate - transaction processing, period close, reporting, compliance, business finance, FP&A - to have credible conversations without being onboarded to the basics. You don't need to be a specialist in every area, but you need to be a generalist who can move across functions without losing the thread.
Curiosity: Gets uncomfortable with "this is how we've always done it." Not contrarian for its own sake, but genuinely curious about whether there's a better way. Finds broken processes more interesting than stable ones.
Structured thinking: Can take a complex, undocumented, relationship-driven process and build a clear picture of what's happening and what should happen instead. Doesn't need a complete brief to start moving. Makes progress with incomplete information.
Finisher: Gets things across the line. Not just a good ideas person but someone who tracks adoption, follows up, closes loops, and treats go-live as the beginning of the work, not the end.
Translator: Sits between finance and technology without losing either. Can speak finance to engineers and engineering constraints to finance people.
Comfort with AI-native working: You are comfortable using AI as an active tool in your day-to-day work and not as a novelty. You use it to accelerate discovery, synthesise complex inputs, challenge your own thinking, and produce outputs faster and better than you could alone.
