About the Role: We have an exciting opportunity for a Finance Senior Associate to broaden their experience in this varied role, supporting multiple Finance teams as we implement a new ERP system. You will be at the forefront of departmental change, playing a pivotal role in the ERP conversion project, specifically focusing on project delivery, testing, and process remediation. We are looking for a dynamic, self-motivated individual with an accounting or risk background who is comfortable navigating the complexities of a large-scale program for ERP modernization. You will be expected to leverage a strong “risk and controls” mindset to ensure the integrity of our financial workflows and be able to work to deadlines for the successful execution of critical project milestones.

• Risk & Control Framework Management: Drive the documentation and testing of the Finance team’s updated control suite and risk artifacts.
• Operational Readiness Coordination: Manage the delivery of project-specific improvements and remediations, balancing competing priorities in readiness for go-live.
• Finance team support: Support the team to deliver month end close and reporting tasks during critical project phases to ensure a seamless transition.

The skills and experience you need:

• A solid background in Accounting processes, and the ability to quickly get up to speed with multiple finance systems.
• Previous experience with Workday ERP is highly desirable.
• Proven experience in identifying financial risks and implementing or testing internal controls within a complex corporate environment.
• Experience in finance projects, ability to operate in "grey spaces," demonstrating dynamic problem-solving and transparent communication when managing conflicting deadlines.
• A team player who can work independently or collaboratively to build strong relationships across the department, including with offshore teams.
• Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail and the initiative to manage your own time effectively at a fast pace across multiple high-priority tasks.
