About the Opportunity
We are partnering with a large Queensland Government department that has undergone a significant ERP modernisation program. Following a successful migration, the focus of the department has now shifted to embedding SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) across the organisation. This is a high-impact role sitting within the Planning & Reporting stream, responsible for driving business adoption, shaping how finance operates, and influencing change across a complex, decentralised environment. 

The Role
As the AO8 Finance Manager, you will play a key role in driving the adoption and optimisation of SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) across the department’s Planning & Reporting stream. Working closely with finance stakeholders, SMEs, and business units across the state, you will act as the bridge between technical capability and business application—supporting both strategic initiatives and day-to-day improvements in how financial processes are delivered.

Key objectives include:

• Partner with finance teams and business stakeholders to improve how budgeting, reporting, and cost management are delivered within SAP/SAC
• Influence and guide business areas to adopt more standardised, efficient ways of working, particularly where legacy practices are deeply embedded
• Translate SAC functionality into clear, practical business outcomes and use cases
• Support a broad range of initiatives—from process improvements (e.g. cost centre rationalisation, use of projects in SAP) through to delivery of new reporting and dashboard solutions
• Work collaboratively with SMEs and management accounting teams to drive sustainable, business-led change across a large and complex organisation. 

What You’ll Bring
This is a highly influential role requiring someone who can operate credibly across both technical and business domains. 

Key capabilities include:

• Influence & stakeholder engagement: Ability to drive change through others in a large, complex organisation
• Translation skills: Strong ability to translate technical SAC/SAP capability into clear business outcomes
• Program leadership: Proven experience managing complex, cross-functional initiatives
• Time management & prioritisation: Comfortable managing competing priorities in a fast-moving environment

Highly desirable:

• Experience with SAP / SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)
• Background working within finance transformation, management accounting, or ERP programs
• Experience working with decentralised or large-scale government/enterprise environments
