An excellent opportunity for a Senior Finance Systems and Data Specialist to work within our Finance team based in Darlington on FTC basis (12 months). This is an exciting time to join the team and support the continuous improvement and transformation of the Finance function.
As Senior Finance Systems and Data Specialist, you will work closely with the Finance Manager and Senior Finance Managers (Systems and Data) to support the wider Finance team to get maximum value from existing and upcoming technology. You will support the administration of key IT systems, ensuring robust controls are in place for user access and security, as well as being hands-on in supporting system set up and maintenance tasks. You will be key to the success of Finance system and data related implementations and upgrades, assisting with the monitoring of timelines and deliverables, as well as supporting users through the User Acceptance Testing (UAT) phase of developments; helping to craft test cases and monitor the resolution of bugs and issues.
