About St Vincent de Paul Society

For more than 170 years we have been providing practical and compassionate support to people across Victoria whose daily struggles can include putting food on the table, paying essential utilities and ensuring their children remain at school to obtain an education.

Under our Good Works umbrella we have many services and programs, including soup vans, education programs, home visitation programs and VincentCare Victoria (VCV), which assists some of Victoria’s most vulnerable communities, such as people experiencing homelessness, the housing crisis and family violence, and the elderly.

About the Role:

The role will lead the Finance Transformation roadmap and delivery of the projects to increase efficiency, automation and integrity of key finance processes. This will include review of current processes and reporting infrastructure to design an efficient and automated future state process, with effective engagement with other leaders in Finance and across the Group to coordinate process improvement activities.

You have a keen eye for detail, ensuring that all testing, quality assurance activities and acceptance criteria are met, with clear sign-off from business representatives.

In addition, you’re skilled in leading data migration activities, including data mapping, cleansing and execution. You bring a structured and people-focused approach to change management, leading impact assessments, deployment strategies, communications, training and seamless handovers to BAU operations.
