The Wellcome Trust is a global charitable foundation dedicated to improving health by funding science, leading policy and advocacy campaigns, and building partnerships. We are committed to spending £16bn over the next ten years to fund new discoveries in life, health, and wellbeing, and to address three global health challenges: mental health, infectious disease, and climate and health. These challenges require the bold science we support, but they also demand solutions beyond science alone.
The role: As a Finance Global Process Owner Lead at Wellcome, you will be responsible for leading the continuous improvement of our finance and procurement processes, data, and systems/tools. This strategic leadership role involves embedding best-practice financial and procurement operations across the Trust and ensuring that Wellcome fully realises the benefits of its recently implemented Oracle Fusion ERP and emerging AI-driven capabilities, alongside other related systems like Salesforce, Workday, and Docusign.
Job requirements: We are looking for someone with significant experience at the Finance Leadership Team level, capable of shaping finance operating models, process standards, and system roadmaps in complex, enterprise-scale environments. You should have a proven track record of delivering end-to-end finance transformation, including ERP-enabled change and post-implementation optimisation with clear, measurable benefits. Strong expertise in ERP systems, ideally Oracle Fusion, and the ability to leverage automation, AI, and advanced analytics to drive efficiency and process excellence is essential.
Benefits: Wellcome offers a flexible working environment, allowing for a hybrid work schedule with three days per week in our Euston Road offices and two days working remotely. We are committed to diversity and inclusion, ensuring a fair and inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. We offer excellent benefits and support for personal development in an open, respectful culture where differences are valued.
