Finance Systems Lead📣 Job Ad

About the Role

An opportunity exists for an experienced Finance Systems Lead to join a high-growth, regulated fintech business during a business-critical ERP transformation. Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer, and working closely with the Technology department, this role offers client-side ownership of an enterprise-wide finance systems implementation designed to support the organisation's future growth. This is not a traditional ERP Project Manager position.

The Finance Systems Lead will be responsible for ensuring the ERP accurately reflects the business's financial operations. This includes owning the financial architecture, reconciliations, controls, governance, and audit readiness, while managing the relationship with the external Systems Integrator. The role is suited for individuals who enjoy bridging Finance and Technology, translating accounting requirements into system capabilities, and ensuring successful delivery with a high degree of ownership and visibility.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the client-side delivery of a major ERP implementation.
• Manage the relationship with the external Systems Integrator.
• Design the financial architecture, including the chart of accounts, sub-ledgers, and reconciliation frameworks.
• Ensure seamless integration between the ERP, operational platforms, and banking/payment systems.
• Replace manual Excel-based financial processes with scalable, controlled ERP solutions.
• Incorporate finance controls, governance, and audit evidence directly into system design.
• Support the implementation of IFRS-driven accounting and reporting requirements.
• Drive successful testing, cutover, and transition into business-as-usual operations.
• Develop long-term internal capability, reducing reliance on external consultants.

Qualifications and Requirements

• 7-10 years of experience in finance systems, ERP transformation, or finance advisory.
• Experience with at least one end-to-end ERP implementation.
• Strong understanding of finance processes and financial controls.
• Working knowledge of IFRS, with a focus on financial instruments and revenue recognition.
• Experience collaborating with finance, technology, and external implementation partners.
• Ability to translate finance requirements into practical system solutions.
• Strong stakeholder management skills across executive, finance, and technical teams.
• The ideal candidate will possess a combination of finance knowledge and ERP implementation experience, potentially from a Big 4 Technology Consulting background, Finance Transformation, ERP Advisory, or as an ERP Functional Consultant with a strong accounting foundation.
