Finance has mobilised an innovative change programme to transform the Finance operating model by leveraging cloud technology. Finance Cloud Transformation will rationalise operational processes, automate data and report production, to deliver comprehensive data to our internal and external stakeholders for analysis and reporting. The programme will entail migration of core Finance data and processes to the cloud, with an initial phase to implement a standard global operating process for Finance actuals report production, followed closely by forecast data and report production.
The Finance on The Cloud Design Analyst will support the analysis, design and delivery stages of the Business Finance and Strategic Planning & Stress Testing part of the programme, with a key focus on the data and process aspects of the project.
Stakeholder management at various levels of management and SME is required to be successful as the delivery is based on a new operating model but will need to take into account current processes to ensure smooth transition.
