Initial 12 Months + Extensions Expected

You’ll be the senior ERP Technology Lead on a flagship EMEA reorganisation programme. Working with Oracle Fusion Financials Cloud (and wider finance systems), you’ll shape how two legal entities are merged under a new European banking parent and how consolidated financials are produced across the region.

What you’ll be doing ​​

  • Lead the ERP / finance‑technology workstream within a major M&A programme, focusing on Oracle Fusion Financials Cloud configuration, ledger/COA structure and consolidation points.
  • Own end‑to‑end ERP change delivery for the merger: inbound and outbound data flows, GL/subledger impacts, reporting, data migration and “Day One / Day Two” cutover planning.
  • Manage a mixed team of c.5 direct reports (offshore SI developers/configurators) plus 3–4 BAs, collaborating with Finance stakeholders across London and Amsterdam.
  • Act as the key bridge between Finance and Technology, translating month‑end, P&L, balance‑sheet and consolidation requirements into ERP and integration solutions, and presenting options at architecture/governance forums.
  • Proactively resolve technical, system and project issues across a complex, multi‑entity, multi‑currency environment, keeping delivery on track against aggressive timelines.

What you’ll need ​​​​​​

  • Strong track record delivering ERP / finance‑systems change in large financial‑services or banking environments.
  • Deep experience with at least one major ERP / GL platform – Oracle Fusion Financials Cloud strongly preferred, but SAP or Workday also considered if ERP and M&A implementation experience are strong.
  • Proven implementation and project lifecycle (PDLC/SDLC) experience, ideally including legal‑entity merger or M&A projects (cutover, data migration, entity mapping, reconciliations, controls).
  • Solid understanding of how GLs and subledgers support month‑end, P&L, balance sheet and consolidated reporting, and what changes when entities are merged.
  • Technical appreciation rather than hands‑on coding: comfortable discussing SQL, ETL, XML, middleware/integration patterns and data‑warehouse/reporting flows with developers and challenging solutions.
  • Experience leading small, mixed onshore/offshore teams and working with senior Finance, Technology and vendor stakeholders in a global setting.
  • Desirables: direct Oracle Fusion Financials experience; prior work on multi‑entity, multi‑GAAP, multi‑currency environments; previous M&A / legal‑entity consolidation programmes.
 Why apply?
  • Own a critical workstream on a multi‑year, high‑profile M&A and finance‑transformation programme.
  • Work closely with senior Finance and Technology leaders, with real influence on ledger design, data flows and consolidated reporting across Europe.
  • Join a compact, experienced team where your decisions and leadership will have a clear, visible impact – with strong potential for extension or even future conversion for high performers.
