About us:

Linklaters is a global law firm, providing legal services in 20 countries and through 30 offices.

Linklaters is a people business. Being best in class in the eyes of our clients means that our people must be exceptional.

We look not only for brilliant minds, but for people who will thrive in our environment: people who love working collaboratively and demonstrate the innovative, efficient, agile, entrepreneurial, and responsible mind-set we aim to bring to every interaction.

Ours is an environment of outperformance. We achieve this not with targets and incentives, but by fostering a positive, supportive, fair, and open atmosphere.

We respect and value difference but insist on inclusivity. We celebrate all aspects of diversity and challenge any form of bias. This is vital to our ability to work as one team, with a common goal.

About the role:

As Senior Finance Process Consultant, you will provide support, advice and solutions to finance systems users across all Linklaters offices. You will:

• Act as a key point of contact for day-to-day system and process queries.
• Help maintain and improve our global finance systems, particularly SAP4 Hana and SAP R/3.
• Support the delivery of change and project work within the PI team.

This is a hands-on role that combines operational support with opportunities to contribute to strategic and business-as-usual (BAU) projects.

Key responsibilities

• Provide support and guidance to global finance users on finance policies, processes and use of SAP4 Hana and SAP R/3.
• Respond to day-to-day queries and issues (including via ServiceNow), troubleshooting system and process problems and clearing errors.
• Maintain matter management systems and processes (for example, matter opening, time recording and transfers, billing and debt collection) and ensure requests are handled promptly and changes are tested.
• Perform key system tasks, such as master data maintenance, data integrity checks and user authorisations.
• Approve and progress access and authorisation requests in line with finance policy, ensuring appropriate segregation of duties and supporting periodic reviews with finance managers and auditors.
• Monitor system error logs, follow up and resolve issues, and liaise with end users and other functions (for example HR, ISS) as needed.
• Prepare and manage change requests, working with Technology to implement and test system improvements and communicating changes to local offices.
• Support senior PI colleagues on strategic and business-as-usual projects, including testing new solutions and helping to train users.

We are ideally looking for:

• At least four years' finance experience with exposure to a range of work, including strong skills in at least some of the following matter management areas:
  • legal billing
  • eBilling
  • time recording support
  • matter opening
  • WIP management / pledging
  • cash collection
• Experience in the professional services industry (for example, law, consultancy, accountancy).
• Experience of SAP4 Hana and/or SAP R/3.
• An appreciation of the risks and priorities facing finance teams in an international firm.

This role is based at the Linklaters London office with a hybrid working model available.

Joining Team Linklaters will see you qualify for a range of benefits designed to reward the vital contribution you'll be making to our success. These include:

• Private Medical Insurance
• Free in-house fitness centre and subsidised health club memberships
• Free onsite GP service and periodic health assessments
