• Managing statutory and fiscal localisation requirements across Europe and the Americas, including tax, electronic invoicing and reporting.
• Challenging programme plans, design decisions and deployment sequencing to minimise risk and avoid unnecessary rework.
• Providing architectural oversight through SIT, UAT, cutover, go-live and hypercare.

Experience required:

• Extensive IFS architecture experience gained in a international business
• Strong hands-on experience with IFS Cloud, particularly across Finance, Projects and associated operational modules.

• Experience integrating Finance with Enterprise Asset Management, work orders, maintenance and service operations.
• Previous ownership of global templates, design governance and architectural decision-making.
• Experience with legacy finance migrations, data reconciliation and cutover planning.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to challenge systems integrators, senior stakeholders and local business teams.
