We're partnering with a growing organisation seeking an experienced Financial Controller to lead a critical inventory system implementation project. This is starting as an initial 3-month contract with potential to extend.
The Role
This opportunity is ideally suited to a Financial Controller or Senior Finance Manager who has successfully led an ERP implementation within an inventory-based business. While exposure to systems projects is essential, we're seeking a commercially focused finance leader rather than a purely technical IT qualified.
You'll act as the bridge between finance, operations and the implementation team, ensuring business processes, controls and reporting requirements are captured and delivered successfully.
Key Responsibilities
Manage the inventory system implementation from the business side
Partner closely with operational stakeholders across inventory, procurement and supply chain functions
Review existing processes and identify opportunities for improvement
Strengthen financial controls, reporting frameworks and data integrity
Oversee data migration, testing and user acceptance activities
Ensure inventory transactions and operational workflows are accurately reflected in financial reporting
Drive stakeholder engagement and support change management throughout the implementation
