  • Lead the documentation and mapping of finance processes and related data flows, developing current and future-state process maps, business rules, and operating procedures that enhance transparency, consistency, and accountability.
  • Establish and strengthen governance frameworks by defining process ownership, decision rights, accountability models, escalation paths, and monitoring controls to support effective and compliant process execution.
  • Leverage data analysis, reporting insights, and performance metrics to identify risks, assess process and control effectiveness, monitor process health, and uncover opportunities for continuous improvement.
  • Partner with Finance, Accounting, Process Owners, and Digital/IT teams to facilitate discussions, gather requirements, evaluate solution options, and drive alignment on process improvements that support business and reporting objectives.

Requirements

  • Experience analyzing, documenting, and improving end-to-end business or finance processes, including process mapping, workflow design, and the implementation of sustainable process improvements.
  • Broad finance experience across areas such as financial reporting, management reporting, accounting, forecasting, budgeting, commercial finance, or related disciplines.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and root-cause analysis skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and translate complex business challenges into practical solutions.
  • Excellent communication, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence decisions and build alignment across cross-functional teams and varying levels of leadership.
  • Solid understanding of governance frameworks, process ownership models, internal controls, and continuous improvement principles within a finance environment.
  • Experience working with SAP ECC and/or SAP S/4HANA within finance-related processes.
  • Familiarity with analytical and reporting tools such as SQL, Tableau, Databricks, or similar technologies used to support process analysis, reporting, and decision-making.
