• The ability to configure solutions based on customer requirements
• Experience working directly with finance stakeholders and end users
• Strong workshop facilitation and stakeholder management skills
• The ability to translate business requirements into practical system solutions

• SQL Server or Oracle
• T-SQL or PL/SQL
• ETL tools such as SSIS
• JavaScript
• ERP or wider business applications

The Opportunity

This is an excellent opportunity to join a specialist consultancy with live Unit4 FP&A projects already in delivery. The successful candidate will need to become productive quickly and take ownership of functional implementation work from requirements gathering through to go-live.
