• Develop and deliver change, communication, and training plans across Finance and Procurement.
• Support business readiness assessments, impact analysis, and transition planning.
• Act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, ensuring risks and issues relating to change are identified and addressed.
• Provide hands-on support to ensure the organisation is prepared for go-live and post-implementation stabilisation.

• Proven experience as a Change Manager on major ERP implementations (SAP S/4HANA or similar).
• Strong understanding of Finance & Procurement (P2P) processes.
• Experience working within Local Government or wider Public Sector transformation.
• Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and influencing skills.
