Finance Data Lead

We're partnering with a leading financial services organisation on a major finance transformation program, building a Finance Data Hub and driving best practice across ERP and feeder systems.

This is a high-impact, hands-on advisory role for a senior professional who can challenge the status quo, define finance data solutions, and influence the target-state design. You'll work with Finance, Data and Technology to ensure a scalable, accurate, and future-proof finance data landscape.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Defining finance data requirements across GL, regulatory and management reporting.
• Collaborating with the Data Office and technical teams to ensure data standards, dictionaries and governance are implemented.
• Challenging legacy processes and proposing innovative, practical improvements.
• Shaping the target-state finance data solutions to support reporting and transformation goals.
• Partnering with stakeholders across Finance, Data and Technology to translate requirements into actionable solutions.
• Focusing on future-state outcomes - ensuring finance data is structured, auditable, and fit-for-purpose.

To succeed, you will offer:

• Strong finance and ERP system experience with exposure to data governance.
• Understanding of finance data flows and reporting requirements.
• Experience in finance transformation programs or large-scale change initiatives.
• Ability to influence stakeholders, challenge assumptions, and implement best practice.
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills.
• General Insurance / IFRS 17 experience is a plus, but not essential.

This is a chance to shape finance data strategy, influence ERP and feeder systems, and help define a golden source of truth for finance - all while driving meaningful transformation across the organisation.
