Finance Transformation Lead

Finance Transformation Lead/Outside IR35/Remote (occasional travel to client site)/6 Month Contract

We're looking for an experienced Finance Transformation Lead to support a major finance modernisation programme for a UK building society.

This is not an ERP implementation role and we're not looking for a traditional finance/accounting profile. We need someone who has genuinely transformed a finance function and can demonstrate realised cost and headcount reduction.

Essential experience:

• Significant finance transformation experience within financial services - banking, building societies, insurance or asset management
• Delivered at least one end-to-end finance transformation programme where headcount/cost reductions were actually realised
• Able to clearly quantify the baseline, savings identified and savings ultimately delivered
• Strong credibility operating directly with CFO/ExCo-level stakeholders
• Broad understanding of finance technology environments such as Workday, Databricks, planning/consolidation tools and regulatory reporting platforms
• Comfortable moving from strategy and TOM design into hands-on delivery

Highly desirable:

• Building society or mid-tier banking experience
• Big 4, boutique consultancy or senior in-house finance transformation background
• Experience improving month-end close, reconciliation and finance operating processes
• Understanding of how AI and automation are changing finance, particularly close automation, reconciliations and forecasting/commentary
• Experience driving change within risk-averse or highly regulated finance functions
