Support the Programme Manager in delivering a finance transformation programme designed to standardise finance processes and systems across HSL entities and help build a modern, technology-enabled finance function. This is a hands‑on role for someone with strong finance process, ERP implementation and test management experience who is comfortable taking ownership and delivering independently in a fast‑paced environment.

• Support the Programme Manager in planning and delivering change across the programme.
• Design standardised finance processes and help establish and embed them consistently across HSL entities.
• Develop the test approach and plan, including test scripts and cases aligned to the new processes.
• Coordinate system integration testing (SIT) and user acceptance testing (UAT), manage defects and secure stakeholder sign‑off.
• Lead data cleansing and enhancement activity to prepare information for migration.
• Plan and support cutover activity as entities move onto the new processes and systems.
• Build effective relationships across Finance, IT and the wider business, taking on additional priorities as the programme evolves.

• Proven experience delivering ERP implementation projects. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central experience would be ideal, although comparable ERP experience is equally welcome.
• A strong working knowledge of finance processes.
• Solid, hands‑on test management experience, including SIT, UAT, defect management and test sign‑off.
• The confidence to take ownership of a workstream and deliver independently.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with Finance, IT and business stakeholders.
• The ability to remain organised and effective in a fast‑paced, changing environment.
• A flexible, pragmatic approach and a genuine interest in technology.
• Finance transformation or multi‑entity standardisation experience would be advantageous.
• Experience of data cleansing, enhancement and migration would be advantageous.
• An accounting qualification such as ACA, ACCA or CIMA, or a project management qualification such as PRINCE2, PMP or an Agile certification, would be beneficial; equivalent practical experience is equally valued.

• Full training and clear career development pathways.
• 22 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, pro‑rated where applicable.
• Company pension scheme and sick pay scheme.
• Free eye test every two years.
• Access to Kinhub for wellbeing and financial support.
