Finance Systems Lead

London (Hybrid) | Up to £90,000 + Package

Môrwell Talent Solutions is delighted to be partnering with a leading developer and operator of data centre campuses across Europe to appoint a Finance Systems Lead.

This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a complex finance technology landscape and drive the next generation of automation, reporting, ERP enhancement and AI-enabled transformation across a rapidly growing international business.

Working closely with the Finance Director and CFO, you'll act as a key partner to the finance leadership team, ensuring systems, processes and technology continue to support the evolving needs of a sophisticated finance function. This role offers a unique blend of finance, systems, transformation and business partnering responsibilities.

This is not a traditional finance role, but it does require a strong understanding of finance and accounting processes. We're particularly interested in speaking with qualified accountants and finance professionals who have developed expertise in finance systems, ERP platforms, transformation projects or technology-enabled process improvement.

It's a strategic position for someone who combines finance expertise with systems leadership, project delivery and a passion for leveraging technology to create smarter, faster and more scalable ways of working.

The Opportunity

You'll become the bridge between Finance, Technology and Business Operations, owning the roadmap for finance systems across a dynamic, high-growth organisation.

From ERP optimisation and automation initiatives to AI-driven process improvements and advanced analytics, you'll be responsible for turning ideas into reality while ensuring finance remains efficient, controlled and future-ready.

Working closely with senior leadership, you'll lead multiple transformation programmes simultaneously and play a pivotal role in shaping how finance operates within one of the world's fastest-growing infrastructure sectors.
