Are you a finance professional with hands‑on Unit4 ERPx experience and a passion for improving dog welfare?

We’re looking for a proactive and skilled Finance Systems Manager to lead the development and optimisation of our accounting system as part of our ongoing digital transformation programme.

As Finance Systems Manager, you will:

• lead the development, enhancement, and administration of Unit4 ERPx, acting as the system’s SUPER‑user, subject matter expert and technology advocate.
• collaborate with internal stakeholders to ensure seamless integration between Unit4 ERPx and other organisational systems, building strong relationships across the charity to ensure the system meets operational needs.
• maintain an effective partnership with Unit4, ensuring issues are identified and resolved quickly and efficiently.
• drive continuous improvement, identifying opportunities to maximise system functionality —including developing and refining reports and dashboards.
• line manage and support the Finance Systems Analyst, helping them grow their skills and capability.

Interviews for this role are provisionally scheduled for week commencing 23rd March 2026, and will take place on Teams.

To succeed in this role, you will need extensive, hands‑on experience with Unit4 ERPx (or Unit4 ERP CR/7 in an API/EK context), with a strong understanding of its capabilities, limitations, risks, and opportunities. Excellent communication and relationship‑building skills are key, enabling you to work confidently with colleagues at all levels and with external partners, as well as strong analytical ability and a deep understanding of financial accounting processes and system administration.

A patient, calm, and persistent approach, especially when analysing and resolving complex issues is fundamental. Above all, you'll need a genuine commitment to the aims and values of Dogs Trust and a passion for making a positive impact.
