Senior Finance Functional Analyst – Procure to ; P2P

Capita is seeking an experienced Senior Finance Functional Analyst (Procure to Pay) to support the design and implementation of end‑to‑end P2P services for a strategic client transformation programme. This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in a multi‑phase mobilisation and transformation initiative, focused on delivering standardised, user‑centred financial and procurement services at scale.

Reporting to the Capita Finance & Procurement Functional Lead, you will take a leading role in shaping Capita’s Procure to Pay service design, ensuring alignment between client requirements, Capita’s standard solution capabilities, and the wider operating model. You will work closely with Functional Analysts, Procurement SMEs, Finance SMEs and Service Architects to define robust, efficient, and compliant P2P processes that deliver a seamless end user experience across Capita and its strategic client.

Senior Finance Functional Analyst – Procure to Pay (P2P)

• Lead and support the design of end‑to‑end Procure to Pay processes, including requisitioning, approvals, purchase ordering, goods receipting, invoice processing, supplier management, and payments, ensuring alignment to agreed service scope and controls.
• Contribute to the development of the Capita Service Blueprint and High‑Level Operating Model for Finance & Procurement, with a strong focus on P2P integration points across Finance, HR/Payroll and third‑party suppliers.
• Facilitate and contribute to client and SME workshops, capturing detailed functional requirements, business rules, exceptions, and non‑functional considerations specific to P2P services.
• Translate requirements into clear process designs, functional specifications, SOPs and service artefacts, ensuring they are fit for transition, testing, and operational readiness.
• Support the creation of test scenarios and scripts that validate P2P processes end‑to‑end, including upstream and downstream integrations (e.g. requisition to payment, P‑cards, expenses where in scope).
• Work collaboratively with Service Design, Technology and Operations teams to ensure P2P processes align to Capita’s standard solutions, minimising unnecessary bespoke design.
• Support transition and early‑life activities, assisting with the resolution of P2P service design issues and ensuring processes are operable and understood by delivery teams.

• Deep functional expertise in Procure to Pay, with hands‑on experience designing, implementing or operating P2P services within shared services, BPO or large‑scale transformation environments.
• Strong understanding of procurement and finance controls, compliance requirements, and audit considerations within P2P.
• Experience working across Finance & Procurement operating models, including integration with Order to Cash, Record to Report, and related finance services.
• Proven ability to produce high‑quality process documentation, SOPs, and functional artefacts suitable for testing, training and live service operation.
• Confident stakeholder engagement skills, with experience working directly with client SMEs and cross‑functional delivery teams.
• Familiarity with ERP‑enabled P2P environments (e.g. Oracle‑based solutions) and structured service design methodologies is highly desirable.
