Job Description - Finance System Implementation Lead

Finance System Implementation Lead

£45,000 to £50,000 + Benefits (Full or Part Time Considered)

Devizes / Hybrid Working

12-Month Fixed Term Contract

Are you an experienced finance systems professional with a passion for driving meaningful change?

I’m proud to be exclusively recruiting on behalf of Wiltshire Wildlife Trust, a well established and highly respected environmental charity with a legacy spanning over 60 years.

Based in the heart of Wiltshire, the Trust is working to achieve nature’s recovery and connect people with nature. As part of their ongoing evolution, the organisation is embarking on a vital transformation of its finance systems — and you could play a pivotal role in its success.

As the Finance System Implementation Lead, you’ll report directly to the Director of Finance & Operations and take full ownership of the end-to-end implementation of the Trust’s new finance system. This is a rare opportunity to combine purpose-led work with a high-impact technical role, all within a supportive, values-driven team.

The position is offered on a 12-month fixed-term basis. Interviews will take place at the end of August or in the first week of September.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the full lifecycle of the finance system implementation — from discovery to go-live and post-launch support
  • Map existing finance processes, identifying opportunities for improvement
  • Collaborate with internal teams and the system vendor to ensure timely, high quality delivery
  • Oversee data migration, compliance, and minimise operational disruption
  • Manage the project budget and timeline
  • Coordinate UAT, training plans, and change management activities
  • Line manage a dedicated Training Officer
  • Provide regular progress updates and risk reports to senior leadership
  • Champion user adoption and process enhancement across the organisation

About You:

  • Proven experience in leading or supporting a finance system implementation
  • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
  • Hands-on, proactive approach with a continuous improvement mindset
  • Previous experience in the charity or not-for-profit sector is desirable, but not essential
  • Experience of finance transformation in an SME environment also welcomed
  • Familiarity with Exchequer (current system) and/or Iplicit (target system) would be advantageous

Benefits Include:

  • Salary of £45,000 to £50,000
  • Full-time, part-time, or compressed hours considered
  • Employer pension contribution up to 7.5%
  • Group risk insurance (death in service and income protection)
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • 27 days annual leave + bank holidays
  • Two additional wellbeing days per year
  • Staff discount at the Dragonfly Cafe
  • Free town centre parking
  • Cycle to Work Scheme

This is a brilliant opportunity to bring your expertise to a role with real purpose and impact. If you’re ready to lead change in a mission-led organisation, I’d love to hear from you.
