Finance Manager - Financial Transactions Transformation

You’ll be joining the easyJet holidays Finance team as a Finance Manager on a 12 month fixed term contract, working closely with Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Financial Control, Finance Systems and wider transformation stakeholders. The team is implementing Oracle as the new accounting system, and this role provides hands-on project management and finance expertise to get it right for AP and AR.

You’ll lead and coordinate finance workstreams for Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable, translating business requirements into clear deliverables and making sure the new system supports strong financial control, efficient processing and accurate reporting.

You will be responsible for:

• Partnering with AP and AR teams to understand current processes and embed standardised ways of working for the future state
• Identifying opportunities to simplify, automate or strengthen processes as part of the Oracle implementation
• Making sure end-to-end controls are designed and evidenced across supplier invoice processing, payments, customer receipts, reconciliations and exception handling
• Owning the AP and AR project plan, including milestones, actions, dependencies, risks and decisions
• Coordinating testing, data migration support, cutover readiness and post-go-live stabilisation for AP and AR
• Working with Finance Transformation, external implementation partners and internal finance teams so Oracle design decisions meet finance, reporting and control requirements
• Tracking issues and blockers, escalating where needed and driving timely resolution across finance and cross-functional stakeholders
• Documenting process changes and handing them over to BAU owners with clear accountability
• Supporting training, user readiness and communications so teams understand new processes and system responsibilities
• Building relationships across finance and non-finance stakeholders, and challenging constructively where requirements, controls or timelines aren’t clear

What you’ll bring to the team:

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with a minimum of 3 years PQE
• Strong understanding of Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, month-end close and finance control requirements
• Experience supporting or delivering finance transformation, process improvement or system implementation projects
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to challenge and influence people at different levels of seniority
• Clear communication skills, able to explain finance and project impacts to finance and non-finance colleagues alike
• A self-starter with high levels of motivation, resilience and enthusiasm
• Hands-on experience using Oracle or supporting an Oracle finance implementation is desirable
• Experience of ERP migration is desirable
• Experience in a high-volume transactional finance environment, such as supplier payments, customer receipts, refunds, reconciliations or automated workflows, is desirable
• Travel, airline, tour operator or e-commerce experience is helpful but not essential
