Job Specifications
Save the Children International has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Specialist, Business Analysis to join our global team.
Team And Job Purpose
A robust Financial Management System (FMS) is essential for the efficient operation of any organization. Across SCI and several Members, we currently use an FMS originally designed for SCI and later extended to opt-in Members. Due to our vendor’s transition from an on-premises solution to a SaaS model, we initiated a tender process and selected Oracle FMS as the new global solution. This system will support across SCA, including all SCI entities, and multiple Members. SCUS has committed to migrating to this shared FMS, with go-live planned for 2027.
To deliver this change, a global project has been established to design and implement the solution across all participating entities. Given SCUS’s size and complexity, its local implementation must be managed effectively to minimize operational risk and maximize the value of this significant investment.
The SCUS FMS Transition Project will work in close partnership with the Global FMS Project to ensure successful delivery of the global solution within SCUS. The approach will prioritize “off-the-shelf” functionality and global alignment wherever possible, while ensuring SCUS-specific requirements are understood and addressed
