James Adams is currently looking for an Aderant Systems Manager. This is a permanent role based in East Midlands on a hybrid remote basis.
My client needs a proactive Finance Systems Manager to maintain and enhance their key finance systems. This crucial role will be central to all finance system projects, empowering the finance teams to fully utilize their tools for continuous process improvement and reducing administrative burdens on lawyers. The role involves program management, providing financial reporting and analytical support across internal finance and other departments, and driving system development to maximize efficiency and build strong user relationships.
A core system is Aderant (practice management), which interacts with various other platforms. The role will collaborate with central administration and legal teams to ensure optimal data flow and system utilization. Crucially, my client needs someone with experience of the framework applications within the system who can identify and implement unused features to drive process improvements across both front and back office. An exciting Aderant upgrade to the cloud-based Sierra platform is planned for Summer ’25! ☁️ The manager will be responsible for future rollouts and upgrades. My client offers a flexible work environment and an inclusive culture.
This role requires someone with strong configuration skills, not a customiser, as my client aims to leverage existing functionality for easier future management.
