• Supporting agile and/or waterfall delivery teams through estimation, build, testing, and UAT
• Mapping AS-IS and TO-BE finance processes and data flows
• Supporting Project Managers with delivery planning, business cases, and governance
• Helping communicate the benefits of change to support adoption and reduce resistance

• Hands-on experience supporting finance systems or finance transformation programmes
