Project Manager - #2097029
KINETECH RECRUITMENT LTD
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.
