- Support parallel run and first period‑end close in Oracle.
Stakeholder & Governance Management
- Engage senior finance stakeholders, audit teams, and programme leadership.

- Provide regular reporting on risks, issues, and progress.
Business Readiness & Change
- Ensure finance teams are trained and prepared for Oracle adoption.
- Drive process standardisation and reduction of manual workarounds.
- Enable knowledge transfer and long‑term self‑sufficiency.

- Experience designing Chart of Accounts and finance operating models .
- Hands‑on experience with data migration, reconciliation, and ERP cutover .
- Deep understanding of UK public sector finance and statutory reporting (CIPFA/IFRS) .
- Strong stakeholder management experience at senior leadership level.
- Experience leading UAT, go‑live, and post‑implementation stabilisation .
