Start Your Career with HSL Compliance
Support the Programme Manager in delivering a finance transformation programme designed to standardise finance processes and systems across HSL entities and help build a modern, technology-enabled finance function. This is a hands-on role for someone with strong finance process, ERP implementation and test management experience who is comfortable taking ownership and delivering independently in a fast-paced environment.
What You’ll Do
- Support the Programme Manager in planning and delivering change across the programme.
- Design standardised finance processes and help establish and embed them consistently across HSL entities.
- Develop the test approach and plan, including test scripts and cases aligned to the new processes.
- Coordinate system integration testing (SIT) and user acceptance testing (UAT), manage defects and secure stakeholder sign-off.
- Lead data cleansing and enhancement activity to prepare information for migration.
- Plan and support cutover activity as entities move onto the new processes and systems.
- Build effective relationships across Finance, IT and the wider business, taking on additional priorities as the programme evolves.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience delivering ERP implementation projects. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central experience would be ideal, although comparable ERP experience is equally welcome.
- A strong working knowledge of finance processes.
- Solid, hands-on test management experience, including SIT, UAT, defect management and test sign-off.
- The confidence to take ownership of a workstream and deliver independently.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with Finance, IT and business stakeholders.
- The ability to remain organised and effective in a fast-paced, changing environment.
- A flexible, pragmatic approach and a genuine interest in technology.
- Finance transformation or multi-entity standardisation experience would be advantageous.
- Experience of data cleansing, enhancement and migration would be advantageous.
- An accounting qualification such as ACA, ACCA or CIMA, or a project management qualification such as PRINCE2, PMP or an Agile certification, would be beneficial; equivalent practical experience is equally valued.
For fixed-term employees, the HSL benefits package includes:
- Full training and clear career development pathways.
- 22 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, pro-rated where applicable.
- Company pension scheme and sick pay scheme.
- Free eye test every two years.
