• Identify skills gaps and recommend team development or resourcing changes
• Collaborate with stakeholders to test insights and shape workable solutions
• Produce a clear report with key findings, priorities, and an S/4HANA-focused roadmap

The candidate:

• Proven experience leading finance transformation or operating model reviews in complex, multi-site environments
• Strong understanding of financial control, reporting, and UK compliance requirements
• Demonstrable experience supporting or delivering ERP implementations, ideally SAP S/4HANA
• Ability to bridge strategic planning with hands-on delivery
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence at all levels
• Pragmatic, results-driven approach with the ability to work in a fast-paced environment
