Financial Controller | Inventory System Project

The Opportunity

We're partnering with a growing organisation seeking an experienced Financial Controller to lead a critical inventory system implementation project. This is starting as an initial 3-month contract with potential to extend. 

The Role

This opportunity is ideally suited to a Financial Controller or Senior Finance Manager who has successfully led an ERP implementation within an inventory-based business. While exposure to systems projects is essential, we're seeking a commercially focused finance leader rather than a purely technical IT professional.

You'll act as the bridge between finance, operations and the implementation team, ensuring business processes, controls and reporting requirements are captured and delivered successfully.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the inventory system implementation from the business side
• Partner closely with operational stakeholders across inventory, procurement and supply chain functions
• Review existing processes and identify opportunities for improvement
• Strengthen financial controls, reporting frameworks and data integrity
• Oversee data migration, testing and user acceptance activities
• Ensure inventory transactions and operational workflows are accurately reflected in financial reporting
• Drive stakeholder engagement and support change management throughout the implementation

• Have operated at Senior Finance Manager or Financial Controller level within a commercial business
• Bring a combination of hands-on finance leadership experience and previous involvement leading or driving an ERP implementation from the business side
• Have worked in inventory-intensive environments such as manufacturing, distribution, logistics, wholesale or similar sectors
• Possess a strong understanding of inventory accounting, stock controls, working capital and operational finance processes
• Bring experience across financial control, management reporting, process improvement and stakeholder management
• Are comfortable partnering with both finance and operational teams to deliver practical business outcomes
• Enjoy being hands-on and close to the detail, rather than operating purely at an executive leadership level

What's on Offer

• Immediate start contract
• Inventory system implementation project
• Work closely with senior leaders and key stakeholders
• Opportunity to leave a lasting impact on the organisation's finance and operational processes
