Help Us Shape the Future of Finance at Merlin Entertainments!

We’re on the lookout for a proactive, detail-oriented Finance Functional Analyst to join us on a 12 month FTC to play a key role in our Finance ERP transformation journey. This is a fantastic opportunity to blend your finance expertise and system-savviness to help deliver a game-changing platform across our global business.

If you're a qualified accountant with a strong grip on Business Central and love digging into processes, testing systems, and bringing structure to change — we want to hear from you.

You’ll be at the heart of our ERP programme, acting as the vital bridge between our finance teams and technical delivery experts. Your day-to-day will involve:

  • Partnering with finance stakeholders to gather and validate business requirements
  • Supporting key design activities, including Chart of Accounts and dimension build
  • Liaising between end users and consultants to ensure seamless solution delivery
  • Leading user acceptance testing (UAT) with tools like Jira to track, shake down, and validate solutions
  • Supporting change impact assessments, training development, and post-go-live transition

Qualifications & Experience:

  • Accountancy qualification (AAT, ACCA, CIMA, ICAEW, ICAS)
  • Strong experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central – especially across AR, AP, GL, FA, Inventory, Bank, Reporting, and Purchase Ordering
  • A solid understanding of accounting principles and finance operations (GAAP/IFRS)
  • Experience supporting ERP implementations and functional testing
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and an analytical, process-driven mindset
  • (Bonus points for German language skills!)

Benefits:

We’re growing fast and alongside a fun and friendly environment, we offer a fabulous package and amazing prospects – ideal if you’re already fantastic and want to become even better (our magic can help here). Benefits include Pension, Life Assurance, discretionary company bonus, 25 days’ holiday and, of course, a Merlin Magic Pass which gives you and your friends and family free admission to all of our attractions worldwide, as well as 25% discount in our retail shops and restaurants and 40% discount on LEGO.

If you have any questions or if you require any assistance, because of a disability or medical condition, please contact us by email at Recruitment@Merlinentertainments.biz and one of the team will get back to you as soon as possible.
