About the Opportunity:

Our client, a leader in the Technology and Media industry, is looking for a skilled Business Systems Analyst (Finance Systems) to join their team for a long-term engagement. This project involves driving key initiatives to enhance and scale financial systems and processes as part of a significant finance transformation roadmap. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables:

This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:

• Drive key projects to enhance and scale financial systems and processes, ensuring alignment with strategic goals.
• Conduct data analysis to identify trends and develop timely reports, dashboards, and presentations for actionable insights.
• Assist in the planning, execution, and tracking of finance-related projects to ensure on-time and in-scope completion.

• Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation for projects, processes, and systems, and effectively communicate progress and findings.

• 5+ years of experience in a similar role, preferably within a finance or corporate setting.
• Deep expertise in implementing and supporting third-party finance solutions (e.g., planning tools such as Anaplan, TM1, or Adaptive Planning). This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
• Proven ability to facilitate process, document business requirements, and lead User Acceptance Testing (UAT) sessions.
• Experience with project management methodologies (e.g., Agile) and PM software platforms (e.g., Smartsheets, JIRA) is a plus.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret complex data and make data-driven recommendations.
• Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team.
