The role..

We’re looking for a Finance Business Analyst to join the Finance Continuous Improvement team on a 12-month fixed-term contract. Reporting to the Head of Finance Continuous Improvement, you will work closely with Global Process Owners and operational teams to improve finance processes and systems across Record to Report (RTR), Procure to Pay (PTP) and Order to Cash (OTC).

This role sits at the intersection of finance, technology and process design. You’ll analyse current ways of working, gather business requirements and help design practical solutions that improve efficiency and control. Working with both finance teams and technology partners, you’ll support the full lifecycle of change — from identifying opportunities through to testing, implementation and ongoing improvement.

Some of your key day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Working with finance teams to identify process and system improvement opportunities across finance operations
• Facilitating workshops and gathering business requirements for process and system changes
• Analysing existing finance processes and documenting improvements
• Collaborating with technology teams to design and implement solutions
• Supporting business users through change, including testing and implementation
• Monitoring the impact of implemented changes and identifying further improvement opportunities
• Maintaining process documentation to ensure procedures remain accurate and up to date
• Building relationships across finance teams to identify new ideas and feed them into the change programme

Skills you’ll need (minimum criteria)

• Strong experience working on finance process improvement or finance transformation initiatives
• Good understanding of core finance processes (RTR, PTP, OTC)
• Experience gathering business requirements and working with both finance and technology teams
• Ability to analyse processes and data to identify improvement opportunities

Other things we’re looking for (key criteria)

• Strong communication skills with the ability to build trust across finance teams
• A collaborative approach, able to bring people with you through change
• Analytical and structured thinking when reviewing processes or solving problems
• Comfortable facilitating workshops and documenting process improvements
• Organised and able to manage multiple initiatives and deadlines
• Understanding of change management principles and project delivery approaches
• A proactive mindset, identifying opportunities to improve how finance works
• Interest in improving systems, controls and operational efficiency

Please note, on occasion we may receive a very large volume of applications which means applications for a role may close earlier than the referenced closing date. We’d encourage you to apply as soon as possible if interested.
