This is a hands-on role that will sit across ERP ownership, system implementation, process improvement, reporting, data, stakeholder engagement and BAU finance systems support. The company has recently implemented Deltek Vantagepoint and is now looking for someone to help drive the next phase of value from the platform. This will include supporting system upgrades, improving processes, enhancing reporting, onboarding future acquisitions and ensuring the system is embedded effectively across Finance and the wider business.

Experience with Deltek Vantagepoint or a similar system would be beneficial, but it is not essential. Candidates with strong experience across other ERP or finance systems platforms will be considered, particularly where they have supported system change, implementation, optimisation or finance transformation activity.

• Managing system configuration, access, documentation and change control
• Supporting integrations between finance systems and other business applications
• Leading user testing, issue resolution, training and post-go-live support
• Working with senior stakeholders to prioritise improvements and drive adoption
• Supporting BAU finance systems activity while also delivering continuous improvement

What we're looking for: This role would suit someone from a background such as:

• Finance Systems Manager
• ERP Manager
• Systems Accountant
• Finance Systems Lead
• Finance Systems Analyst
• ERP / Finance Transformation Consultant
• Finance Systems Implementation Lead

You will need experience in finance systems, ERP management, systems accounting or a similar role, with a good understanding of finance processes such as general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, project accounting and management reporting. The ideal candidate will have experience supporting or leading ERP upgrades, implementations, major enhancements or finance systems improvement projects. You should also be comfortable working with data, managing stakeholders and balancing project delivery with day-to-day system ownership.

Useful experience: Experience in any of the following would be highly beneficial:

• Deltek Vantagepoint
• ERP / finance system implementation or upgrades
• Finance systems optimisation
• Data migration, mapping, cleansing or validation
• Power BI, Excel or Power Query
• SQL, APIs, ODBC or system integrations
• Project accounting, WIP, time recording or billing
