Jacob Grey have partnered exclusively with an independent software house, to identify a Financial Systems Project Manager.

- Overseeing the implementation of a bespoke Customer Relationship Management system (CRM) for a variety of industry specific clients. The software includes a number of modules including financial systems, asset/stock management, HR, and order processing.

- Liaising with the internal technical team to ensure the smooth transition and timely completion of the implementation.

- Ad hoc duties as and when required.
Person required:
The successful candidate will NOT require previous implementation experience or experience of managing projects. (our client will offer extensive training on project management and, naturally, their software). Instead, you will have a sound background in accountancy and a strong grasp of double-entry book keeping. You will also possess excellent communication skills, exemplary organisational skills, and feel completely comfortable liaising with multiple internal and external senior stakeholders. This role would suit a sociable individual with an accounting background and a desire to pursue a slightly different career path.
Previous implementation experience, and Excel would be a bonus.
What's on offer:
On offer is a competitive salary, car allowance, and annual bonus (based on company performance). After the initial training period, you will also be able to enjoy a hybrid working arrangement. Not least, this is a great opportunity to be part of a well established, constantly growing, independent business with a fantastic internal culture.
We look forward to receiving your application.
