My client is undertaking a major finance transformation programme through the implementation of OneAdvanced Financials (formerly e5 or eFinancials) a significant step forward in modernising the Council's finance systems and processes. As the project moves into its next phase, the Council is looking to appoint an experienced Interim Business Change Lead to drive engagement, adoption and business readiness across the organisation. Reporting to the Project Manager and working alongside an established project team, including a dedicated Finance Lead, this role will be instrumental in ensuring that colleagues across the Council understand the benefits of the new system and are prepared for the changes it will bring to the way they work. This is not a technical systems implementation role.

Candidates are likely to be qualified accountants or finance professionals who have moved into business change, transformation or finance improvement roles. Previous involvement in a finance systems implementation, finance transformation programme or service redesign project is essential. A background within local government finance is highly desirable, and whilst experience of OneAdvanced Financials would be advantageous, it is by no means a prerequisite. Key Responsibilities Lead the business change workstream for the OneAdvanced Financials implementation. Build strong relationships with stakeholders across finance and operational services. Assess and communicate the impact of system changes on business processes and ways of working. Act as an ambassador for the project, promoting the benefits and opportunities presented by the new system.
