Lead the future of finance. Drive transformation. Create lasting impact.

We are seeking an exceptional Finance Transformation and Systems Manager (Fixed Term Contract ) to lead a transformational journey that will redefine how finance supports our organisation’s ambitions. This is a unique opportunity for a qualified accountant with proven experience in the social housing sector to take ownership of a high-profile programme of change, delivering a modern, insight-driven finance function fit for the future.

At the heart of this role is the opportunity to shape and deliver a new finance operating model — leading the selection and implementation of a new finance system, streamlining processes, strengthening controls, and unlocking better financial insight to support strategic decision-making. You will work in close partnership with senior leaders across the organisation to build a resilient, agile, and forward-thinking finance environment that meets the evolving expectations of a large, registered provider.

Combining technical expertise, strategic vision, and change leadership, you will play a critical role in enhancing financial capability, improving operational effectiveness, and ensuring the organisation is positioned for continued success in an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.

This is a career-defining opportunity for a finance transformation professional who wants to make a tangible difference, influence organisational change, and leave a lasting legacy.
