The opportunity
A UK engineering and infrastructure services business is looking for an IFS Finance Support Analyst to join its finance systems team. You will support users across the finance function, help keep the IFS platform running well, and play a part in a major programme of system rollouts. The platform has just been upgraded, and two large go-lives are planned for 2027. The team is spread across the UK, so you will be comfortable working remotely and collaborating with colleagues at a distance. This role suits someone with a finance or ledger background who wants to build a career in finance systems, with funded certification and a clear route to progress.
The role
- Resolve day-to-day IFS support queries and tickets across AR, AP, GL, Procurement and Projects, and identify recurring issues to improve processes
- Monitor error screens and scheduled jobs, and fix or escalate problems
- Support root cause analysis alongside the wider finance systems team
- Maintain and create user documentation and training content, and deliver training to finance users
- Support upgrade testing, including regression testing, and take part in go-live and rollout activity
- Maintain base data and, over time, take on user setup, permissions and configuration
- Help integrate newly acquired businesses into the finance system
About you
Essential
- Experience of working with an ERP system, ideally IFS
- Solid understanding of AR, AP and GL processes
Desirable
- Experience of construction-style finance, such as CIS, project accounting or invoice matching
- Background in engineering, manufacturing or contracting
- Exposure to Procurement or Projects modules
- AAT or a similar finance qualification
- Experience of writing documentation or training users
You will be curious, organised and happy to learn, comfortable working independently and as part of a team, and able to communicate clearly with people at all levels.
