The Role
You will work closely with the finance team to complete UAT 2 new systems, supporting the transition from a highly customised on-premise system to an off-the-shelf, configurable solution. This change is expected to challenge established ways of working, so strong stakeholder engagement and change leadership skills are essential.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading and coordinating UAT
- Working on-site with finance teams to support testing, issue resolution, and readiness
- Managing engagement with the vendor
- Supporting business change and managing stakeholder expectations during the transition
- Ensuring testing outcomes support a successful implementation and handover
- Proven experience as a Project Manager delivering business change initiatives
- Strong understanding of finance systems, UAT, and technology-enabled change
- Experience working in local government or similarly complex public sector environments
- Confident, pragmatic, and comfortable working closely with finance teams
- Able to manage resistance when standardised systems replace bespoke solutions
