About the role:

This role will play a pivotal part in revenue lifecycle transformation, driving process improvements, optimising efficiency and helping to implement leading technologies across the firm.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Support revenue lifecycle transformation by contributing to finance transformation strategies and plans, preparing project roadmaps, and helping to create presentations and communications that set out the transformation vision and objectives.

• Analyse and improve finance processes by reviewing and documenting existing revenue processes, identifying bottlenecks and areas for efficiency, and benchmarking against industry standards to prioritise improvements.

• Support technology change by helping to evaluate and implement new finance systems, gathering user requirements, and coordinating user acceptance testing to ensure solutions meet operational needs.

• Work closely with finance teams, project managers and other stakeholders to gather and document business requirements, run workshops or interviews, and ensure solutions align with firm strategy.

• Provide analysis and insight by performing quantitative analysis on finance data, building and maintaining financial models, and supporting business cases for transformation initiatives.

• Monitor projects and benefits by maintaining dashboards and status reports, flagging issues to project leadership, and tracking improvement metrics after implementation.

• Develop documentation and training by creating Standard Operating Procedures and user guides, preparing engaging training materials, delivering training sessions, and acting as a first point of contact during system rollouts.

• Manage risks and drive continuous improvement by identifying and assessing risks, supporting mitigation plans, staying up to date with industry trends and best practices, and sharing relevant insights with the finance operations team.

We are ideally looking for:

• Approximately three or more years of experience in finance and/or finance transformation, ideally with exposure to revenue lifecycle processes.
• Hands-on experience using SAP.
• A strong drive to achieve goals and deliver measurable outcomes, with clear accountability for performance.
• A finance background or experience (beneficial but not essential).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills and advanced Excel skills.
• Good prioritisation skills and the ability to manage multiple workstreams.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and the ability to work effectively with stakeholders at all levels across different cultures and geographies.
• The ability to work well under pressure in a fast-paced, change-oriented environment.

This role is based at the Linklaters London office with a hybrid working model available.
