Location: Thorpe Park, Leeds, Hybrid working.

At Lowell, we're on an exciting journey to transform and modernise our finance systems landscape, and we're looking for a Finance Systems Manager to play a key role in shaping that future. Acting as the functional and solution architect for our Oracle EPM platform, you'll take ownership of the design, governance and evolution of solutions including FCCS, Planning, ARCS and Narrative Reporting. Working closely with Finance, Technology and external partners, you'll translate complex business requirements into scalable, sustainable solutions that support statutory reporting, management insight and strategic decision-making.

You'll bring strong Oracle EPM expertise, particularly within FCCS, alongside experience leading finance systems teams and delivering complex change programmes. Just as importantly, you'll be comfortable building relationships across the business, influencing stakeholders, driving best practice and ensuring our finance systems continue to support Lowell's ambition to make credit work better for everyone.

What we'd like to see:

• Proven experience designing and delivering Oracle EPM solutions across Planning (PBCS), FCCS, ARCS and Narrative Reporting.
• Strong understanding of finance processes, period-end close, reporting governance and financial controls, with the ability to translate business requirements into scalable system solutions.
• Experience supporting statutory reporting, management information and audit requirements through robust EPM solution design.
• Ability to build strong relationships across Finance, Technology and third-party partners, acting as a trusted bridge between business and technical teams.
• Confidence operating as a solution architect and design authority, providing governance, challenge and strategic direction across the EPM landscape.
• Excellent communication, collaboration and stakeholder management skills, coupled with a proactive mindset, a passion for continuous improvement and the ability to lead through change while role modelling Lowell's values.

What you'll get:

• A discretionary annual bonus to reward your impact.
• 3% flexible benefits that you can tailor to suit your lifestyle, whether that's extra cash, more holiday, or added health cover.
• Hybrid working for the best of both worlds - collaboration and focus.
• Free onsite parking, saving you time and money.
