About The Role

As ERP Functional Lead (Finance & Procurement), you will act as the design authority for Humanoid’s ERP solution, with deep, hands-on ownership of Finance and Procurement and overarching responsibility for solution integrity across the wider ERP landscape.

This role sits within the IT organisation and partners closely with the ERP Programme Manager and Business Process Owners.

You are expected to have deep process and hands-on configuration expertise in Finance and Procurement, while shaping and governing additional functional areas through third-party specialists or future team members who will report into you as the programme evolves.

This is a critical role requiring strong judgement, breadth, and execution bias, not a theoretical architect or a narrow finance specialist.Primary design counterpart to Finance and Procurement leadership
