Imagine being part of a global leader in the entertainment industry, where your work creates magical and memorable experiences for millions of visitors each year. This company operates some of the world's most iconic. They are passionate about innovation and constantly strive to enhance their attractions with cutting-edge technology and creative storytelling.

As a member of this team, you'll have the opportunity to work alongside talented professionals who share your enthusiasm for creating unforgettable experiences. You'll be part of a culture that values creativity, collaboration, and continuous learning, with ample opportunities for career growth and development.

Overview

Are you ready to take on a pivotal role in transforming our finance operations? My client are seeking a highly skilled ERP Program Manager to lead the transition from our legacy systems to the cutting-edge Microsoft Dynamics Business Central ERP solution. This is your chance to make a significant impact by ensuring seamless integration and alignment with their business goals.

In this position, you will lead the planning and execution of the Finance ERP transition, ensuring deadlines and milestones are met. You'll coordinate with the ERP project team, external vendors, and internal finance teams to ensure seamless integration and minimal disruption. Actively managing RAID (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) to minimize their impact on the program is crucial. Additionally, you'll oversee the global rollout of Microsoft Dynamics Business Central, ensuring timely and successful implementation.

You will oversee the migration of financial data from legacy systems into the new ERP system, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and integrity. Validating and testing data migration results, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring all required reports and records are available in the new system will be part of your responsibilities. Working with IT teams to ensure system compatibility and integration with other business systems is also essential.

Leading change management strategies to ensure successful adoption of new systems and processes within the finance function is a key aspect of this role. You'll develop communication plans to ensure transparency and understanding throughout the transformation process. Identifying and mitigating resistance to change, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, and providing training and support to teams to ensure smooth transitions to new technologies and ways of working are also important.

You'll develop and deliver training materials and sessions for finance and accounting teams to ensure effective use of the new ERP system. Providing ongoing support and troubleshooting for users post-implementation, ensuring a smooth transition period, and ensuring that users are confident in operating the new system and can leverage its features to enhance financial operations are part of your duties.

Acting as a trusted business partner to senior leadership, you'll ensure alignment of transformation initiatives with overall business strategies. Building strong relationships with key stakeholders, including C-suite executives, finance leaders, and IT teams is crucial. You'll collaborate with external implementation partners and vendors, ensuring alignment with the transformation goals, and communicate program status, risks, and milestones to stakeholders, ensuring clear and transparent communication.

Identifying potential risks and issues throughout the program and developing mitigation strategies is essential. You'll ensure all governance frameworks, including risk management processes, are adhered to. Actively managing dependencies and interdependencies across multiple workstreams to avoid delays or disruptions and providing proactive solutions to resolve issues and keep the program on track are also key responsibilities.

Leading the development of metrics and KPIs to assess the success of transformation initiatives, you'll identify opportunities to improve financial processes and workflows during the ERP transition. Working with finance teams to define new procedures and reporting structures within the new ERP system, you'll ensure that the new system complies with financial regulations and best practices.

Key Skills

To excel in this role, you must have extensive experience leading large-scale finance ERP transition programs, ideally within a global organization. Proven expertise in ERP system implementation and optimization, particularly with Microsoft Dynamics Business Central, is essential. A strong background in finance operations and business partnering, with a track record of driving process improvements, is required.

You should have experience managing cross-functional teams and collaborating with senior leadership across business units. A solid understanding of financial reporting, planning, and forecasting, with the ability to enhance these processes through system and operational improvements, is necessary. Demonstrated ability to manage complex projects, focusing on risk management, change management, and successful delivery, is crucial.

Experience in managing relationships with external vendors and third-party partners is important. Relevant qualifications in finance, business administration, or a related field (e.g., ACA, ACCA, or equivalent) are required. A strong understanding of global finance regulations and compliance standards is also necessary.

Key skills and competencies for this role include:

  • Strategic Vision & ERP Expertise: Proven ability to develop and execute finance transformation strategies, aligning with business goals, and improving financial processes through ERP systems like Microsoft Dynamics Business Central.
  • Leadership & Project Management: Strong leadership skills to manage and motivate senior stakeholders, cross-functional teams, and handle complex, multi-workstream programs with multiple priorities and deadlines.
  • Business Acumen & Change Management: Deep understanding of finance operations and business processes, with expertise in leading organizational change and ensuring smooth transitions to new systems and processes.
  • Communication & Stakeholder Management: Excellent communication skills to articulate complex ideas, influence decisions, and build strong relationships with senior leadership, finance teams, IT departments, and external vendors.
  • Financial Insight & Language Skills: Strong financial acumen to enhance forecasting, reporting, and analysis, with proficiency in a European language (ideally German) as an advantage.

Bonus & Benefits

  • Bonus of 10.5% target (stretch to 17.5%)
  • 25 days holiday (can buy up to 5 days)
  • 4% pension contribution
  • Medical Cover (sole only)
  • 4 x salary life assurance
  • Free attraction passes
