Principal Finance Transformation Consultant

REMOTE BASED – CAN BE BASED ANYWHERE IN IRELAND

Would you like the opportunity expand your skillset across ERP Finance Systems, help our clients transform their Finance functions and progress to Head of Function and upwards to Practice Head?

How about if you worked with an Oracle ERP Partner of the year and ERP Managed Services Partner of the year?

Here at Version 1, we are currently in the market for an experienced Principal Finance Transformation Consultant to join our growing Solutions Consulting Practice.

You will have the opportunity to work with the latest cloud technology and worked on projects across a multiplicity of sectors and industries.

Principal Finance Transformation Consultant

Job Description

As a Principal Finance Transformation Consultant, you will be responsible for supporting finance transformation initiatives which are a key part of our approach to delivering Oracle Cloud ERP, EBS and JDE application implementations.

You will work closely with our client’s finance and accounting teams to understand their vision and desired outcomes.

• Identify and design business process improvements that will result in great outcomes for our clients.
• Perform organisation readiness assessments for clients which will help them evaluate the operational approach, leadership messages and communication style that will drive the change management efforts on projects.

Solution Governance

You will:

• Integrate transformation into our delivery methodology, ensuring that our consultants not only implement software but also serve as enablers of business transformation.
• Help ensure th
