• Ensure that system workflows and data changes are documented and auditable, thereby supporting the integrity of the Group's financial reporting data.

System Management and Simplification

• Improve and monitor Power BI dashboards and Excel-based reports to deliver clear, actionable insights to finance and operational stakeholders.
• Drive the standardisation and simplification of reporting outputs across finance to enhance usability, consistency, and efficiency.
• Enhance and optimise the interaction between the group management accounting, statutory, and budgeting and forecasting tools, aiming to reduce duplication.
• Workflow Automation: Identify manual processes and collaborate with the finance team to develop automated, system-based solutions that reduce manual intervention.
• UAT Leadership: Lead or support User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for system upgrades and enhancements, ensuring no disruption to financial controls or reporting accuracy.
• Act as the financial lead/administrator for key financial reporting, forecasting, and budgeting systems.
