Introduction Our client is seeking a Finance Consultant (Chief Expert) to join a high-impact Business Finance team at the Group IT Hub South Africa, delivering IT solutions to the global Group.

You will be responsible for coordinating market rollouts for SAP financial accounting and Treasury solutions, leading Fit-to-Template workshops, and ensuring Feature Team solutions are implemented, tested, and stabilized across multiple markets.

Financial Process Mastery: Bring in-depth process knowledge across financial accounting and Treasury — including Bank Statement Processing, Cash Management, and Payment Optimization — to guide market rollouts and template adoption.

Global Influence & Leadership: Operate as a global industry leader, chairing professional bodies and leading teams through deep, cross-functional business experience.

Change & Stakeholder Management: Drive change management and Fit-to-Template workshops, negotiating long-term, strategic outcomes that influence large budgets and multiple organizations.

Who This Role Would Suit:

This role is ideal for a seasoned finance professional who combines deep technical knowledge of financial accounting and Treasury processes with the credibility to operate as a global industry leader. The strongest candidates will have hands-on experience across Bank Statement Processing, Cash Management, and Payment Optimization, paired with a proven track record of leading SAP template rollouts across multiple markets.

They are confident, articulate communicators who can negotiate long-term, strategic outcomes affecting large budgets and multiple organizations, and who are comfortable leading Fit-to-Template workshops, resolving GAPs, and managing change across diverse stakeholder groups.

A Chartered Accountant qualification or MBA would be a strong advantage, but what matters most is broad, practical business experience across multiple functions, the ability to chair professional bodies at a global level, and a genuine passion for driving consistency and quality through template-based rollouts.
