  • Strong governance is ensured through the development and maintenance of high-quality documentation, modelling standards, controls, and operating procedures that safeguard long-term sustainability. 
  • Innovation plays a key role, with ongoing exploration of emerging EPM and digital-finance trends, the creation of reusable assets, and a commitment to elevating delivery quality across the practice. 

Qualifications

  • 10+ years’ relevant consulting or industry experience delivering Finance, FP&A, or EPM transformations, with increasing responsibility for outcomes, teams, and budgets. 
  • Significant experience with one or multiple EPM platforms such as Oracle EPM Cloud, Anaplan, etc. with deep understanding of modelling standards, data structures, and performance considerations. 
  • Demonstrated end-to-end delivery experience across solution architecture, prototyping, testing, deployment, and post-go-live stabilisation for enterprise planning or consolidation programmes. 
  • 4+ years of experience leading cross-functional delivery teams and managing complex, multi-workstream programmes. 
  • Proven experience coaching and developing high-performing teams and contributing to practice capability growth.
