The Opportunity

The ERP Finance Lead is a senior leadership role responsible for leading the finance transformation workstream within the University's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Program. The role is accountable for defining and delivering the future-state finance operating model, ensuring the ERP solution enables best-practice financial management, governance, reporting and compliance while supporting the University's long-term strategic objectives.

What You'll Be Leading

• Lead end-to-end finance workstream activities across the ERP implementation lifecycle, from design workshops through to go-live and stabilisation
• Act as the primary liaison between finance stakeholders and the broader ERP project team, ensuring business requirements are accurately captured and delivered
• Review, validate and sign off on system configuration, data migration and finance process design outputs
• Identify risks and dependencies within the finance workstream and drive resolution in a structured, timely manner

What You'll Bring

• Experience working within a structured project methodology (waterfall, agile or hybrid)
• Tertiary qualifications in Finance, Accounting or a related discipline; CA/CPA advantageous
• Prior exposure to complex, multi-entity or public sector finance environments highly regarded

This is a meaningful role for a finance professional who thrives in project environments, brings clarity to complexity, and understands that successful ERP delivery is as much about people and process as it is about technology.
