"The business is implementing NetSuite and, as part of that, rebuilding its Workday Adaptive Planning environment.

They've got an implementation partner doing the technical delivery, but they need someone with strong Adaptive Planning and OfficeConnect experience to essentially act as the Finance-side quality assurance person.

You'll be testing the rebuilt models, interrogating the financial numbers, making sure everything reconciles, updating OfficeConnect reports and coordinating UAT ahead of go-live.

It's quite a hands-on role, and importantly, they're not just looking for a Workday technical specialist. They need someone who understands FP&A, forecasting and financial reporting and can actually challenge the numbers."

The key message to candidates: They're not looking for someone to lead the implementation or rebuild Adaptive from scratch. They're looking for someone who understands both the system and the finances well enough to make sure the partner has delivered something accurate and fit for purpose
