Salary -  To be discussed at next stage

We’re looking for a Finance Systems Lead to join the adventure as we continue to accelerate through a period of significant growth and complexity across our finance landscape.

Following a significant number of acquisitions in the last year, this role is critical in ensuring our finance system, NetSuite accurately reflects accounting reality across a multi‑entity, global group.

This is a finance‑led systems role, not a NetSuite administrator position. You’ll sit within Finance, bringing strong technical accounting judgement to how systems are configured, integrated and used, ensuring postings, balances and data flows genuinely make sense.

Responsibilities

• Leading the finance systems workstream for acquired businesses, including:
  • Chart of accounts mapping
  • Data migration  
  • Entity and ledger setup
  • Go‑live support
• Owning and supporting NetSuite and its integrations with tools such as Salesforce, Zuora, Tipalti, FloQast, Solution 7 and Workday.
• Acting as the bridge between technical accounting requirements and NetSuite configuration, ensuring correct debit/credit logic, posting rules and controls.
• Partnering with Technical Accounting, Financial Reporting and Operational Finance teams to support month‑end, troubleshooting and continuous improvement.
• Working with IT, Data teams and external vendors on systems changes and enhancements.
• Supporting testing, documentation, process improvement and user guidance.
• Helping standardise processes across an increasingly complex global finance environment.

Skills and Experience

• You are a qualified or technically strong accountant with hands‑on ownership of finance systems.
• You’ve led NetSuite integrations, ideally as part of acquisitions or major organisational change.
• You understand core accounting mechanics (GL, AR, AP, revenue) and can confidently challenge system setups that don’t reflect accounting reality.
• You’re comfortable operating in a multi‑entity, international group.
• You can translate accounting requirements into clear system and process decisions.
• You’re collaborative, pragmatic and confident working in fast‑changing environments.
