Finance Transformation Manager — M-KOPA

Finance Transformation Manager — M-KOPA You know the difference between a demo and a system that survives contact with a trial balance. That's rarer than you think. Most people who can talk fluently about AI have never had to make it work inside a real close process, a real audit trail, a real Anaplan model that finance actually trusts. M-KOPA is looking for someone who has — or someone ready to prove they can. Where this sits.

It's a builder's mandate with a finance brief, not an IT ticket queue. What y
