Transformation Business Analyst FTC

Remote · USA Full-time New today

Octopus Energy has grown exponentially in its short history. It is now a complex multi-billion turnover international group, which participates in multiple industry verticals including retail utilities, utilities management, generation, EV leasing and software sales.

We are committed to innovation, sustainability, and customer satisfaction. As part of our growth strategy, we are implementing NetSuite and a number of supplementary Finance applications e.g. OCR, AP Management to streamline our finance operations and improve efficiency. We are seeking a Finance Systems Business Analyst to play a key role in these initiatives.

Its legacy business management applications are at the limit of their capacity and capability. A new enterprise resource planning tool (ERP) is required to both provide a finance back bone for the Group, and to integrate information flows and insights across the group. Oracle’s NetSuite SAAS platform has been selected for this task. The process to select supplementary applications is underway.

This role will be pivotal in ensuring the ongoing success of Finance and its systems for the Group and is key to maintaining appropriate controls that reflect the Group’s segregation of duties. It will also be pivotal in defining streamlined processes & procedures across the Group.

Working in Octopus’ Finance Systems team, you will be responsible for documenting end to end Finance processes, identifying best practices, controls and procedures. You will also be responsible for working with stakeholders across all our Octopus’ entities to capture requirements for Finance applications; this includes but is not limited to NetSuite.

NetSuite is our core Finance system and it is supplemented by additional applications focused on specific tasks performed or managed by the Finance team. NetSuite is not the only system in the Finance landscape and thus close coordination and integration with other teams and tools is very frequent. This role will immediately participate in the implementation of a newly selected OCR application.

What you'll do

  • Reporting into the Project Manager, you will work alongside other business analysts and consultants to deliver the Finance Transformation backlog
  • Be responsible for interviewing Finance Stakeholders to capture and document requirements for new systems and tools; this will include new business process flows written in business terminology.
  • Ensure Finance is following best practices and processes are designed to be re-used where possible. You will work collaboratively with partners and stakeholders to identify ways to innovate and improve delivery and processes
  • Communicate with senior people within the organisation. You will need to gain and build business and stakeholder buy-in to the requirements gathering, As-Is and To-Be modelling processes
  • Align internal and external stakeholders of the benefits of new technology or strategies/requirements/processes.
  • Control business analysis activities as required during the project lifecycle from project initiation through to closure
  • Support the UAT (e.g. test case creation & execution) and provide knowledge and expertise to support defect resolution.
  • Support (and undertake where necessary) business change activities e.g. training.
  • Conduct peer reviews and workshops for requirements definitions, As-Is and To-Be models to ensure quality, completeness and unambiguity
  • Develop user documentation
  • What you'll need

  • 5+ years of experience as a Business Analyst with a focus on financial systems
  • Experience with system implementations or change management with Finance systems
  • End to end delivery of new systems and processes
  • In-depth understanding of financial processes
  • The ability to streamline processes across multiple business entities
  • Familiarity with financial software and systems (e.g., NetSuite, Accounts Payable Applications such as OCR and Invoice Matching software)
  • Ability to be flexible and adapt to changes quickly
  • Ability to influence others in order to improve processes and application quality
  • Ability to work independently
  • Strong documentation management experience and skills
  • Additional Information
