Interim Finance Systems Implementation Support (Vena)
OUTSIDE IR35
Duration: 6 months
Location: Stockport (Hybrid - couple days per week onsite)
Role Overview:
Our key client is seeking an experienced Finance Systems Implementation Support Contractor to assist with the ongoing rollout of Vena (FP&A / planning & analysis platform). The business has recently completed its initial go-live phase and now requires additional hands-on expertise to support the next stages of implementation, integration, and optimisation. This is a delivery-focused role sitting at the intersection of Finance, FP&A, and IT, requiring strong systems knowledge, problem-solving capability, and comfort working directly with stakeholders to drive progress.
________________________________________
Programme Overview:
- Implementation of a modern FP&A planning and analysis platform (Vena)
- Transition away from fragmented, spreadsheet-based planning
- Initial phase already live, with further rollout and enhancements underway
- Upcoming work includes:
o Systems and data integrations
o Onboarding additional business units and legal entities
o Expanding functionality (e.g., balance sheet, cash flow)
- Excel will continue to be used on the front end initially, with a longer-term shift toward a more digital finance environment
________________________________________
The Opportunity:
There is strong project and FP&A capability within the team, but a gap remains in hands-on finance systems implementation expertise. You will be instrumental in driving delivery across multiple workstreams, ensuring smooth adoption and embedding of the platform across the organisation.
________________________________________
Key Responsibilities:
- Deliver hands-on support for the finance systems implementation
- Drive key workstreams and ensure milestones are met
- Support integrations, data flows, mapping, and validation
- Partner closely with Finance, FP&A, IT, and wider business functions
- Ensure the solution is scalable and fit for future expansion
________________________________________
Required Skills & Experience:
- Proven experience delivering finance system implementations
- Strong understanding of FP&A / planning & forecasting environments
- Ability to work independently and hit the ground running
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
- Delivery-focused, with an IT/technical mindset
________________________________________
Technical Experience:
- Experience with FP&A / planning tools such as Vena (preferred), Anaplan, Adaptive, Oracle EPM, SAP BPC, OneStream, or similar platforms
- Direct Vena experience is desirable but not essential
________________________________________
Nice to Have:
- Experience working in complex or multi-entity organisations
- Exposure to finance transformation or digital finance programmes
