This role is specifically concerned with Phase One of Project Elevate, which is expected to last around 12 months starting April 2026, with a target go‑live of April 2027.This role is a share-responsibility position, alongside the existing Service Charge Accountant. You will jointly be Subject Matter Experts on service charge governance and financial transactions for Project Elevate, and will provide advice, validation and assurance on end‑to‑end service charge requirements and future‑state design. The aim is to ensure that service charge processes, controls, reporting and data structures are robust, compliant and workable in practice.The role will be involved in both day-to-day Service Charge activities in our existing ERP system, as well as contributing to Project Elevate by supporting requirements gathering, process design, data transformation and readiness activities for service charging arrangements across the entire portfolio.HdWE requires an ERP solution to manage the full lifecycle of service charges across its estate: from schedule set‑up at unit level; lease variations affecting recovery; apportionments, floors and caps; on‑account charging based on budgets; expense capture and coding; balancing statement preparation and review; issuance to occupiers/leaseholders; and posting of charges/credits to customer accounts.The estate includes both residential and commercial buildings, including mixed‑use properties where residential leaseholders and commercial occupiers exist within the same building. The service charge model, disclosures, statutory processes and reporting therefore need to support both residential and commercial regimes, and accommodate split schedules and apportionments within a single asset.The role will also act as a key bridge to the technical project delivery team. The role is not a technical systems configuration role; it exists to help the business successfully adopt the new platform through process standardisation, data improvement and user readiness.A key requirement of this role is to champion the programme principle of “adopt, not adapt” — adopting standard solution capability and best practice wherever possible to protect ease of use, upgrade pathways and long‑term sustainability.

independent review / audit requirements (where required by lease or policy) should be supported by data, controls and reporting packs., • Define the minimum viable service charge data model for go‑live (properties/units, schedules, cost categories, apportionments, caps/floors, reserve/sinking funds where applicable)., • Support data cleansing and validation activities to ensure balances, budgets and apportionments are accurate and fit for migration., • Work with stakeholders to ensure service charge expenditure coding and workflow approvals are aligned to the budget structures and recoverability rules., • Support integration and reporting needs (e.g., ensuring data can be extracted for audit/review and management reporting, and that document evidencing can be linked where required)., • Support planning and execution of User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for service charge scenarios, including test data set‑up, reconciliation checks and defect triage., • Review and sign‑off service charge process designs and key outputs as part of go‑live readiness., • Support training content and ‘how we do service charges’ guidance for Finance and operational colleagues, including practical examples and controls., • Support decision‑making by helping stakeholders distinguish between essential requirements / true differentiators and preferences rooted in historic ways of working that should be addressed through process change, data improvements, or training., • Where deviation from standard is proposed, ensure the rationale is evidence‑based and aligned to long‑term maintainability., • Support review, cleansing and standardisation of datasets (properties, units, leases, occupiers/customers, service charge and planned works data), recognising that improved data
