Finance Project Manager – Transformation £400–£450 per day | Outside IR35 | Immediate Start | 6-Month Initial Contract
Radley Green is partnering with a large global technology business undergoing significant transformation following extensive M&A activity. They are seeking an experienced Finance Project Manager to join the team on an interim basis and play a key role in supporting the finance function through a complex change environment. This is an immediate requirement, initially running for approximately 6 months, offering a day rate of £400–£450 outside IR35.
The successful candidate will work closely with the existing finance team, taking ownership of key project-related financial activities arising from the recent M&A programme. This is a highly visible role requiring someone who can operate independently, challenge stakeholders confidently, and manage deliverables end-to-end.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Maintaining a high-integrity cost register
- Reviewing and challenging cost requests with workstream leads
- Analysing committed vs actual spend, including phasing and underspend
- Supporting month-end accounting activities, including accruals and classification decisions
- Producing clear and insightful variance analysis against approved budgets and forecasts
- Escalating financial risks, anomalies, or concerns proactively and credibly
This is not a passive reporting role. Our client is looking for a commercially minded finance professional who is proactive, hands-on, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced transformation environment.
Candidates should be able to demonstrate experience in:
- Owning project, transformation, or non-BAU cost bases rather than purely reporting on them
- Confidently challenging and influencing senior stakeholders
- Strong month-end and accounting judgement
- Working within transformation, or similarly complex change programmes
