AMS PSR

PSR is working with NRS (formerly known as Magnox) to identify the most talented people on the market. NRS is an exciting place to be, and this role is the perfect opportunity for you to be part of our challenging mission, where we are responsible for the delivery of value for money decommissioning and restoration of nuclear sites, ensuring all our futures are safe, secure and sustainable. To deliver our commitment, we need people like you who want to perform at an industry leading standard and be part of a team that continues to develop, innovate, and even exceed our greatest achievements.

At NRS, we understand, and acknowledge the value of an inclusive working environment, and celebrate the diversity this brings to our workplace. Without this approach, we wouldn't be in the position that we are now, being able to safeguard and secure the future of our organisation.

On behalf of NRS, we are looking for a Finance Transformation Manager for a 24 month hybrid contract based in Dounreay.

As a Finance Transformation Manager, your main responsibilities will be to:

• Design and embed a consistent, effective FBP structure (service scope, role clarity, interfaces with Financial Accounting, FP&R, Sanction & Strategic Planning), PMO, aligned to the Finance TOM and three‑pillar model.
• Define and publish the FBP “service catalogue” and RACI for sites, programmes and corporate functions; implement standard engagement rhythms with operational leaders.
• Establish partnering behaviours and field cadence (e.g., % time with the business), coaching BPs and budget owners to drive decisions and value creation.
• Assess as‑is practice against Financial Management (PD‑003) and Portfolio Management (PD‑024); agree and deliver an improvement plan to standardise processes (e.g., cost coding, reporting, sanction of programmes/projects, business planning, financial controls).
• Track delivery of benefits and efficiency commitments, linking to programme outcomes and budget performance.
• Lead the finance delivery readiness and adoption for process/system changes (e.g., Unit4 and reporting tools), including data standards, hierarchies and cost‑code design for consistent reporting.

Essential:

• Significant senior finance leadership experience in complex, multi‑site or highly regulated environments, demonstrating credibility with senior stakeholders.
• Proven track record in finance transformation, including implementing new operating models, process standardisation and cultural change across finance teams.
• Strong experience in Finance Business Partnering, acting as a strategic advisor to operational and functional leaders, providing challenge, insight and value‑adding support.
• Experience improving planning, forecasting, budgeting and month‑end processes and lifting analytical capability within teams.
• Demonstrated ability to lead multi-disciplinary programmes of change and embed new systems, data structures, cost coding and reporting frameworks.
• Experience navigating sanction, governance and financial control frameworks, ensuring compliant financial decision‑making.
