  1. Solid comprehension of SAP finance processes and a robust knowledge of finance business procedures.
  2. Extensive experience with ERP systems, particularly SAP FI/CO.
  3. Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, with a deep understanding of Excel.
  4. Proven hands-on experience in leading the design, development, and maintenance of SAP FI/CO solutions, with strong stakeholder management skills demonstrated through clear and efficient communication.

About Penguin:

We’re the UK’s largest publisher; made up of some 2,000 people and publishing over 1,500 books each year. Our doors are open to all kinds of talent. In a constantly evolving industry, we work hard to stretch the definition of the word publisher. Here, you’ll work with a breadth of talent who all play their part to make each of our books a success. Together, we make books for everyone because a book can change anyone.

Our approach to hybrid working:

While our offices are places for you to connect, collaborate and celebrate with colleagues, having flexibility about where you work is just as important for doing your best work and for your wellbeing. So, we don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to how we work across Penguin Random House UK.

For this role, there are regular meetings and activities that you will need to attend in person mainly at our offices in London or Colchester. Outside of these moments, you can choose to work remotely. The exact balance of office to remote working can be discussed with your future manager during the recruitment process. What we can say now is that you won’t need to go into the office five days a week, unless of course you want to.

Application instructions

Please apply with your CV and cover letter outlining why you are the right candidate for the role by 11:59pm on Sunday 5th January.

We anticipate a two-stage interview process which will include a virtual first-stage interview and in-person second stage interview. We are happy to discuss this further with you throughout the recruitment process. Please note that we anticipate interviews to take place in January 2025 after the festive period.

What you can expect from us:

Salary: circa £70,000 plus bonus and benefits.

Our people are the heart of our business, and we work hard to support a culture of responsibility and recognition.

Our benefits include:

  • Financial – discounted shopping, season ticket loan, rental deposit loan
  • Wellbeing – healthcare cash plan, employee assistance, gym loan
  • Lifestyle – taste card, tech scheme, free and discounted books

Please note, we are not able to accept agency CVs for this role. Any CVs sent speculatively will not be eligible for a fee.
