About the Role
A further education provider in the West Midlands is looking for an Interim Finance System Project Manager to lead the delivery of a finance system project from planning through to go-live.
You'll take ownership of the project plan, keeping scope, timescales, budget and resources on track, and you'll work closely with finance and IT colleagues to make sure the system meets the organisation's needs. You'll also be the main point of contact for stakeholders, managing risks and resolving issues as they arise.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Planning and delivering the finance system project, including scope, timescales, deliverables and resources.
- Managing risks and issues, and putting contingency plans in place where needed.
- Acting as the main point of contact for the project, keeping stakeholders informed and aligned.
- Coordinating finance, IT and supplier input throughout the project.
- Maintaining accurate project documentation and reporting on progress.
- Supporting testing, go-live and the transition into business-as-usual support.
What We're Looking For
Essential:
- Proven experience of managing finance system implementations or similar business system projects
- Strong stakeholder management, communication and reporting skills
- Confidence managing budgets, risks, deadlines and competing priorities
Desirable (but not essential):
- A recognised project management qualification
- Experience of working within further education or the wider public sector
If you're ready to lead a finance system project through to delivery, we'd love to hear from you.
