Legacy Finance Transaction Data Processing Business SME

My client is looking for a Legacy Finance Transaction Data Processing Business SME for an initial 12 month contract.

The role is a business role requiring business data integration experience within our global Finance and Procurement transformation programme. The role holder will work within the data tower, the process towers and work with the reconciliation and mapping leads as well as the business process teams of BT's finance transformation. The role holder will be working as part of a multidisciplinary programme team (process, data, org design, systems, change and communications) which is implementing a simplified and standardised landscape across the Group Finance function.

The role is important because BT's legacy platforms and subledgers employ multiple layers of transactional data processing across an ageing, primarily oracle systems estate. The programme replaces a large part of our old Finance systems across the BT Group. This transformation includes the implementation of an SAP/Hana platform. In order to move from our old systems to new, we need a standard approach to subledger accounting and reporting and a sizeable data conversion.

To ensure we map our converted data correctly into the new chart of accounts and information model, we require a Subject Matter Expert to do the hands-on validation of replacing the old transactional processing engine. The key purpose of the role is to validate that we have taken into account, all current transaction processing mappings into the new systems.

The scope of the role is to ensure that the current transformation processing logic is understood in an S4/Hana context and that current technical and business rules are validated into the new systems and processes and converted or standardised as appropriate.

This is a hands-on role where the role holder will have to be able to understand and translate technical solutions in a business and data process context. They will be seen as the expert.

Prior experience in a finance system or data role is a must.

You will be part of a small team focussed on replacing the legacy processes and migrating data, you will need to develop business partnerships with key stakeholders in the programme to ensure delivery is the priority, and to drive standardisation where possible.

What I'll be doing:

*Be the business expert for BT's legacy transaction processing system.
*Rapidly seek to understand the nature of legacy transaction processing in a business context and relate it to current programme data conversion and interface mappings and processes.
*Seek solutions where there are gaps in design or solution with the relevant teams via the appropriate governance channels.
*Support reconciliation and conversion mapping efforts by evidencing existing processes in TP.

*Data mapping and legacy process transformation skills.
*The ability to simplify complex data problems for a business audience.
