• Design clear, structured future-state process flows aligned to the new system

• Develop detailed SOPs and process documentation for finance teams

• Ensure financial controls, compliance requirements, and governance obligations are appropriately embedded

• Partner with the implementation team to validate system configuration against finance requirements

• Support change readiness by providing clear, practical documentation for end users

• Solid knowledge of financial controls, governance, and compliance frameworks.

• Experience documenting finance processes — including process mapping and SOP development

• Exposure to ERP or system implementations, ideally supporting finance work streams.

• Ability to translate operational workflows into structured, logical process flows
