Finance Transformation Lead

Are you an experienced transformation leader with a strong SAP background and a passion for driving meaningful business change? We're looking for an Interim Process Transformation Lead to play a critical role in shaping the future of our finance processes and helping deliver a major SAP-enabled transformation programme. 

As a trusted advisor to our finance leadership team, you'll lead the discovery and assessment phase of a significant transformation initiative across Record-to-Report (RTR) and Order-to-Cash (OTC) processes, while also overseeing key elements of Procure-to-Pay (PTP). Working closely with senior stakeholders and external partners, you'll help define a realistic, value-driven transformation roadmap that will underpin our journey to SAP S/4HANA.

What you'll be doing?

In this high-impact role, you'll:

• Lead the diagnostic and discovery phase across finance processes, systems and data landscapes to identify opportunities for improvement and transformation.
• Challenge and validate recommendations from external consulting partners, ensuring solutions are practical, commercially sound and aligned to business priorities.
• Apply deep expertise across Record-to-Report, Order-to-Cash and Procure-to-Pay processes to drive future-state design and process optimisation.
• Develop a prioritised 3-5 year transformation roadmap, balancing quick wins with longer-term strategic initiatives.
• Identify and define critical enabling activities, including data harmonisation, governance improvements, process standardisation and simplification of SAP customisations. 
• Establish value frameworks and support the development of business cases that link transformation initiatives to measurable business outcomes.
• Engage and influence senior stakeholders, facilitating workshops and translating complex technical concepts into compelling business narratives.
• Support mobilisation planning to ensure the programme is ready to transition smoothly from discovery into delivery.

What we need from you?

You'll bring a combination of transformation expertise, SAP knowledge and exceptional stakeholder management skills, including:

• Proven experience leading discovery and roadmap phases of large-scale SAP-enabled transformation programmes. 
• Strong understanding of SAP S/4HANA best practices and experience aligning business processes to standard SAP ways of working. 
• Deep knowledge of end-to-end finance processes, particularly RTR, OTC and PTP. 
• Experience managing and challenging Tier 1 consultancies and system integrators
• Strong commercial acumen with experience in value-based prioritisation and business case development.
• The ability to translate complex analysis into clear, actionable transformation plans.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and influencing skills across all organisational levels. 
• A highly structured, analytical and outcome-focused approach.
