Acting as the primary partner for senior and executive stakeholders, the role involves leading workshops, shaping strategic discussions, and aligning business objectives with a clear, actionable EPM roadmap. Designing scalable, end-to-end EPM solutions is a core responsibility, bringing together planning, consolidation, reporting, and analytics capabilities across multiple platforms and business functions. Strategic ambitions are translated into detailed business and functional requirements, supported by well-defined future-state processes, modelling standards, and scenario-planning frameworks.

Leadership extends to mentoring multidisciplinary delivery teams, facilitating training and enablement, and contributing to recruitment and capability building within the wider EPM community. Commercial growth is supported by shaping compelling propositions, leading demos and client conversations, contributing to pricing approaches, and fostering senior relationships that generate follow-on work. Strong governance is ensured through the development and maintenance of high-quality documentation, modelling standards, controls, and operating procedures that safeguard long-term sustainability.

Innovation plays a key role, with ongoing exploration of emerging EPM and digital-finance trends, the creation of reusable assets, and a commitment to elevating delivery quality across the practice. 10+ years’ relevant consulting or industry experience delivering Finance, FP&A, or EPM transformations, with increasing responsibility for outcomes, teams, and budgets.
