Project Manager – Finance Transformation – Remote – £80K + (Negotiable)

We're partnering with a fast-growing, private equity-backed global organisation embarking on a significant finance transformation programme. Following a comprehensive review of its finance operating model, an opportunity has arisen for an experienced Project Manager to lead a portfolio of finance transformation initiatives.

This is not an ERP implementation role, nor is it a hands-on finance position.

Instead, you'll sit within a central transformation team, partnering closely with Finance to deliver large-scale finance transformation, embed new operating models and standardise ways of working across a complex, international, multi-entity organisation.

The Role

You'll take ownership of a varied portfolio of finance transformation projects, ranging from targeted process improvements through to large-scale operating model change. You'll focus on finance transformation, ensuring robust, centralised and scalable finance processes and ways of working are successfully embedded across the organisation.

Key responsibilities

• Leading multiple finance transformation projects from initiation through to successful delivery
• Managing a portfolio of initiatives arising from a strategic finance transformation programme
• Driving process standardisation and operational improvements across the finance function
• Supporting the transition to a more centralised finance operating model
• Delivering finance transformation initiatives across multiple countries, ensuring consistent processes while successfully managing local stakeholder engagement
• Leading communications, stakeholder engagement, training and business readiness activities
• Building trusted relationships with senior finance leaders and executive stakeholders
• Presenting progress, risks and recommendations confidently to Board-level audiences
• Working collaboratively with the ERP programme team while remaining focused on finance transformation rather than system delivery

About You

We're looking for an accomplished Project Manager with a proven track record of delivering complex finance transformation programmes.

You'll ideally bring:

• Significant experience Project Managing finance transformation programmes within scaling / complex organisations
• Strong project and programme management capability
• Experience delivering finance operating model transformation, process standardisation or finance function transformation
• Experience delivering transformation across international or multi-entity organisations, balancing global consistency with effective local stakeholder engagement
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to influence senior leadership and Board-level audiences
• Strong commercial and financial awareness, with the credibility to partner effectively with senior finance leaders
• Experience of shared services, finance centralisation, operating model redesign or Shared Service Centre (SSC) programmes would be highly advantageous
• Experience working alongside ERP implementations would be beneficial, although this is not a systems implementation role

Most importantly, you're a Project Manager first. You understand finance transformation but your expertise lies in delivering change, engaging stakeholders and ensuring transformation programmes achieve lasting business outcomes.

Why Apply?

• This is a rare opportunity to play a leading role in a high-profile finance transformation programme within an ambitious, growth-focused organisation.
• You'll have genuine visibility with senior leadership, influence strategic change across the finance function and help shape the next phase of the organisation's transformation journey.
• As the programme evolves, you'll have the opportunity to support wider international transformation initiatives, making this a role with genuine long-term scope and impact.
• Both permanent and interim candidates will be considered.
