---------------------------

Leading the design, implementation, and delivery of large-scale or challenging AMS projects, which includes incident and release management, end-user training, creating online help documents, vendor coordination, and comprehensive testing strategies. Leading broader Finance Transformation initiatives, in collaboration with key stakeholders (such as Financial Controllers, Financial Reporting, Treasury), driving process mapping and optimisation, conducting control assessments, architecting process automation solutions, and supporting the shaping of policy creation. Influencing group decisions through insightful contributions and accepting ambiguity in problem definitions to lead the design and implementation of solutions, whether addressing production issues or implementing new services. Confidently analysing data using a data-driven approach to make strategic recommendations and informed decisions that bring value to the atom and group. Delivering medium to large-sized projects end-to-end with a high degree of quality, regularly contributing to technical initiatives that bring value to the atom and occasionally to the whole group. Consistently demonstrating technical leadership and being an example of efficiency, delivering impactful results with minimal direction. Providing guidance and mentorship to peers, improving group efficiency and productivity, and elevating overall team performance.

Extensive experience using, supporting and configuring enterprise financial systems, with deep operational finance knowledge in AP, P2P, and Expense functions. Deep understanding of Finance Technology concepts and practices with the ability to consistently apply and advocate for best practices and standards.

Expert understanding of integration approaches and technologies, with the ability to articulate trade-offs between different technical choices. Highly skilled in Microsoft Excel and data analysis with ability to demonstrate analytical approach in initiatives. Excellent at communicating with stakeholders across the organisation, demonstrating keen understanding of how the organization works and how to navigate and influence within it.

Able to translate deep technical expertise into scalable solutions and process guidance, designing products, services and processes that bring the most business value. Consistently embody Checkout Operating Principles and use them to help shape the group's culture. Always display accountability and take ownership of products and services, being a cornerstone in incident resolution and learning.
