Functional Consultant

Candidate Description

Specialising in business improvement and operational transformation, the candidate combines management consulting experience with a background in finance processes and outsourced operations. Their career spans a consulting firm, a management consulting firm, a public-sector transport agency, a telecommunications company, a utilities company, a community services organization and a financial institution. They bring experience across consulting, government transportation, telecommunications, utilities, community services and financial services. Core strengths include business analysis, process improvement, supplier management and procure-to-pay processes. Their current professional profile also encompasses functional consulting and Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement and Dynamics CRM skills. Based in Brisbane, they combine analytical thinking with management and leadership capabilities.

A practical focus on sustainable improvement underpins their work across business processes and operating models. At a utilities company, they were responsible for identifying, assessing and implementing measurable and sustainable improvements. At a community services organization, they provided accounts payable process and systems expertise to the Finance Shared Service Centre. Their financial institution experience includes responsibility for accounts payable offshoring projects across Paris and Casablanca.
