## Job description

Spaulding Ridge is an advisory and IT implementation firm. We help global organizations get financial clarity into the complex, daily sales, and operational decisions that impact profitable revenue generations, efficient operational performance, and reliable financial management.

At Spaulding Ridge, we believe all business is personal. Core to our values is our relationships with our clients, our business partners, our team, and the global community. Our employees dedicate their time to helping our clients transform their business, from strategy through implementation and business transformation.

We are looking for a Certinia Financial Management Cloud Solution Architect to join our Revenue Excellence team in the UK. This role is ideal for a senior finance transformation professional who can translate complex business requirements into scalable, high-quality Certinia solutions and guide clients through the full implementation lifecycle.

You will lead enterprise finance transformation initiatives, deliver innovative Certinia Financial Management Cloud solutions, and act as a trusted advisor to clients, internal delivery teams, and executive stakeholders. The role combines hands-on solution architecture, delivery leadership, process improvement, and mentoring responsibilities.

Responsibilities:

- Lead end-to-end Certinia Financial Management Cloud implementations, including discovery, design, configuration oversight, testing, deployment, and post-go-live support.
- Own the overall solution architecture, ensuring designs are scalable, maintainable, aligned to leading practices, and integrated effectively with Salesforce and surrounding enterprise systems.
- Manage project budgets, schedules, risks, dependencies, and quality standards, partnering closely with project managers and client sponsors to ensure successful delivery outcomes.
- Facilitate finance process workshops with client stakeholders to document current-state processes, define future-state operating models, and identify opportunities for automation and control improvements.
- Design and validate solutions across general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, billing, revenue recognition, cash management, financial reporting, and related finance workstreams.
- Support pre-sales activities and proposal development by shaping solution approaches, estimating delivery effort, contributing to statements of work, and presenting solution recommendations to prospective clients.
- Mentor junior consultants and architects by providing design guidance, reviewing deliverables, sharing implementation best practices, and supporting professional development across the delivery team.

Key Skills and Experience:

- Ability to translate finance, accounting, and operational requirements into clear functional designs, solution blueprints, and delivery plans.
- Strong understanding of Salesforce platform capabilities, data models, integrations, security considerations, reporting, and release management practices.
- Experience working with senior finance stakeholders, including CFOs, controllers, finance directors, shared services leaders, and technology sponsors.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical and finance concepts to both business and technical audiences.

Qualifications:

- Proven experience implementing Certinia Financial Management Cloud solutions in complex client environments, preferably across multiple full project lifecycles.
- Strong finance and accounting process knowledge, including month-end close, procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, billing, revenue management, intercompany, controls, and financial reporting.
- Prior experience as a Solution Architect, Delivery Manager, Senior Consultant, or equivalent senior implementation role within a consulting or enterprise technology environment.
- Salesforce Administrator certification preferred, with additional Salesforce platform or architecture credentials considered an advantage.
- Certinia Financial Management certifications highly desirable, particularly where supported by practical experience designing and delivering Certinia finance solutions.
- Strong stakeholder management, consulting, facilitation, problem-solving, and executive communication skills, with a track record of building trusted client relationships.

What Success Looks Like:

- Clients have clear, practical solution designs that support their finance transformation goals and can be delivered with confidence.
- Implementation teams understand the architecture, delivery priorities, risks, and decision points needed to move projects forward effectively.
- Solutions are adopted successfully by finance users and provide measurable improvements in process efficiency, reporting visibility, controls, and scalability.
