Why this role
Finance has always run on data infrastructure of some kind, but the modern data platform matters more to a finance function than it ever has, and this is where you learn to build one. You'll work on the finance data platforms our clients depend on: a governed foundation that holds the enterprise's financial data, integrates with the ERP estate producing it, and carries the reporting, analytics and AI the CFO's teams use. You'll be hands-on from the start: modelling data, building and testing the pipelines that feed the platform, and getting the numbers on it to agree with the ledger. You'll grow quickly, on real programmes, alongside people who architect this work for a living.
What you'll bring
- Hands-on experience of a modern cloud data platform (Snowflake, Databricks or Palantir Foundry, or something comparable).
- A working grounding in how one is put together: the layers that take data from raw ingestion through a conformed core to the curated sets finance consumes.
- Integration with the ERP estate, building and testing the connections into that estate (SAP, Oracle or whatever a client runs).
- Experience with ETL, ELT and API patterns, handling master data changes, late postings, restatements and reopened periods.
- An awareness of how a finance data model reflects the legal, management and reporting structure of the enterprise.
- Building management reporting, datasets behind self-service analytics, and ensuring consistent definitions across reports.
- Experience with predictive forecasting, anomaly detection, AI-generated commentary and agentic workflows.
- Delivery and client skills, contributing to design workstreams and producing clear analysis and options.
- Comfortable in workshops and working sessions with client finance and technology people.
Who you are
- You take ownership and follow through.
- You work well in a team and build trusted relationships with clients and colleagues.
- You bring good judgement and critical thinking to problems that aren't fully defined.
Things that set strong candidates apart:
- Hands-on experience with a modern cloud data platform.
- Experience moving financial data out of an ERP such as SAP or Oracle.
- Experience building management reporting or analytics on top of platform data.
- Working knowledge of SQL, APIs and modern data-integration technologies.
- Understanding of chart-of-accounts, enterprise structure and finance master data.
- Relevant cloud-data or AI certifications, or a professional finance or accounting qualification.
