• Supporting solution design discussions and clearly communicating system concepts to finance users
• Contributing to delivery activities across analysis, model build, testing, and documentation
• Engaging with client finance stakeholders at operational and management levels in a professional, consultative manner
• Identifying delivery risks or issues early and escalating appropriately
• Documenting models, assumptions, and solutions, and sharing knowledge to strengthen team capability
• Collaborating with colleagues across engagements and supporting the development of junior team members

• Strong financial modelling and analytical capability, with high attention to detail and data integrity
• A solid understanding of budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting processes
• Exposure to Workday Adaptive Planning or other EPM / finance systems (e.g. Anaplan, TM1, Hyperion, SAP, Oracle, Power BI, or similar)
• An interest in finance technology and the ability to translate finance processes into system concepts such as dimensions, hierarchies, assumptions, and data flows
• Experience working with senior finance stakeholders (e.g. CFOs, FP&A Leaders, Finance Business Partners)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain analysis and system concepts
• The ability to tackle ambiguous problems using a structured, logical approach
• Experience in consulting or professional services is advantageous but not essential
• A relevant professional qualification (CA, CPA, CIMA, or equivalent), or working towards one
• A collaborative mindset, learning agility, and commitment to Deloitte’s values and quality standards
