As

You will be responsible for:
  • Defining the reporting strategy for the business teams impacted by the Finance Transformation
  • Identifying which reports are needed by which teams at what times.
  • Ensuring all current reports are documented, with clear owners, data flows and end users.
  • Mapping existing reporting through to 'to be' future state reporting, including identifying which future state system the reporting will be run from (e.g. SAC, S/4 autodashboards etc) to ensure all reporting requirements are carefully planned for.
  • Documenting user profiles for self serve dashboard reporting within future state systems.
  • Working cross stream with all the relevant workstream leads to ensure reporting is fully understood at the total level.
  • Working with the SI (systems implementation) partner to challenge the business on future reporting needs, determine fit gap analysis and work to bring stakeholders along the journey.
  • Rationalisation of reporting outputs to meet the system capabilities.
  • Working with the SI to ensure reporting in the 'to be' future state is much more robust and automated than it is currently.
  • Work with the BI and data teams to ensure alignment between data and reporting.
  • Understand data flows between upstream systems and end reports, ensuring reporting is factored in to the end to end process design.
  • Providing the necessary advice, education, and coaching to the business and other stakeholders regarding the proper implementation of reporting capabilities.
  • Work closely with the change team to ensure business impacts relating to reporting changes are documented and remediations captured.
  • Work with the training team to develop appropriate training material for reporting.
  • Support the PMO and programme leadership to develop governance materials such as weekly reporting and SteerCo reporting.
  • Coordinate with other projects and programmes in News UK that may have an impact on the programme and manage those impacts from a change perspective.

  • Willingness to go above and beyond to support the business, building your knowledge and your network to enable this.
