About VantagePoint

VantagePoint is a global finance transformation and technology consultancy helping organisations modernise the finance function through process improvement, data, and leading technology platforms.

Founded in London, the firm has grown rapidly from a team of five to 100+ professionals across Europe, North America and APAC.

We specialise in implementing and optimising market-leading finance technologies, supporting organisations through complex transformation programmes and helping finance teams operate with greater control, transparency and insight.

Our model combines deep finance expertise with strong technical delivery – enabling us to deliver practical outcomes and long-term client partnerships.

The opportunity

We’re looking for a delivery-ready Workiva specialist to join our growing practice.

This is a hands-on, implementation-focused role for someone who has already led or played a central role in Workiva deployments and can step into delivery with minimal ramp-up.

You will own end-to-end implementations or critical workstreams, working directly with senior finance stakeholders to design, build and deploy reporting solutions.

This is not a learning role – we’re looking for someone who can deliver independently from day one and raise the bar on quality across the practice.

What you’ll be doing

Lead delivery – end-to-end ownership

• Lead Workiva implementations or major workstreams end-to-end
• Own delivery across design, build, testing and deployment
• Act as the primary delivery contact for client stakeholders (Finance, Reporting, Controls)
• Drive delivery outcomes – on time, on budget, high quality

Hands-on solution design & build

• Translate reporting and regulatory requirements into scalable Workiva solutions
• Configure and build directly within Workiva (reports, data links, controls, workflows)
• Lead the migration of legacy reporting (Excel / manual packs) into automated solutions
• Define and implement robust, auditable reporting structures

Technical delivery & implementation

• Lead UAT, defect resolution and deployment cycles
• Own data integration, validation and reconciliation activities
• Apply best practice in reporting architecture, controls and governance
• Ensure outputs meet regulatory and audit standards

Client leadership & advisory

• Run workshops, solution walkthroughs and playback sessions
• Challenge and shape client requirements where needed
• Act as a trusted advisor on reporting transformation and best practice

Team & practice contribution

• Provide hands-on guidance to junior consultants
• Contribute to Workiva capability build, assets and delivery standards
• Support pre-sales and solution shaping where required

What we’re looking for

Experience (must-have)

• 3–6 years’ experience, with clear exposure to:
• Workiva implementations (financial reporting, ESG or regulatory reporting)
• Consulting or implementation-led environments
• Proven hands-on Workiva experience – not just user-level exposure
• Experience leading or owning delivery (end-to-end or major workstreams)
• Background in financial reporting, audit, or finance transformation

Workiva experience is essential for this role

Technical capability

• Strong understanding of:
• Financial / statutory / regulatory reporting
• Reporting processes, controls and governance
• Advanced Excel skills; exposure to data tools / SQL beneficial
• Ability to design and build structured, scalable reporting solutions

Consulting & delivery skills

• Confident leading:
• Client workshops
• Requirements gathering
• Solution walkthroughs
• Strong stakeholder management – able to operate with senior finance teams
• Comfortable owning delivery and making decisions

Attributes

• Ownership mindset – takes accountability for delivery outcomes
• High attention to detail and quality
• Commercial awareness
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, delivery-focused environment

Why join us

• Own delivery from day one – real responsibility, not shadowing
• Deep Workiva specialisation – build expertise in a high-growth platform
• High-impact work – CFO-level transformation programmes
• Accelerated progression – path into solution architecture and leadership
• Direct exposure – work closely with senior clients and leadership

Our values

• Thrive together - we win as one team
• Take ownership - accountability for outcomes, not just tasks
• Quality, every time - consistent, well-judged delivery
• Be human, first - trust, empathy and respect
