Project Manager - Assurance Transformation & Technology
Our client, a well-established UK professional services firm, is investing significantly in digital transformation and is looking to appoint a Project Manager to lead a number of technology and business-change initiatives across the firm.
The first major project will be the implementation and rollout of the Inflo audit platform across the Assurance practice, before moving on to a broader programme of technology, automation and operational improvement projects.
Reporting to the COO, you will work closely with senior stakeholders, Assurance leadership, operational teams and external technology providers to ensure projects are delivered successfully and embedded effectively across the business.
Key responsibilities will include:
• Leading technology and business-change projects from planning through to implementation
• Managing the rollout, configuration, testing and deployment of the Inflo audit platform
• Coordinating UAT, training, documentation and user adoption
• Working with Audit and Compliance teams to align systems with audit methodology and regulatory requirements
• Managing project plans, timelines, risks, issues and stakeholder communication
• Identifying opportunities to improve workflows, efficiency and quality through technology and process redesign
• Supporting wider digital-transformation initiatives following the initial Inflo implementation
The ideal candidate will have:
• A recognised accountancy qualification
• Previous audit experience within a UK professional services or accountancy firm
• Strong experience of Inflo audit technology, ideally including implementation or rollout
• Experience delivering technology, systems or operational-change projects
• A strong understanding of audit workflows and methodology
• Excellent project management and senior stakeholder-management skills
• Experience of cloud-based systems, integrations and/or data migrations
• The ability to translate technical concepts clearly for non-technical stakeholders
This would particularly suit a qualified accountant who started their career in audit but has developed a genuine interest in technology, transformation and improving operational workflows.
