Our well-established, successful, and global client is on a journey to create a Finance Shared Services center of excellence in Poland. This ‘captive’ center is already ‘up and running’ and the business is implementing a new leadership structure to take the finance operations forwards to ultimately grow from the current European center to include far shore operations as well.

This newly created role requires a Global Business Services Controller – Finance expert with significant experience across O2C, P2P and R2R from a ‘best in class’ process perspective. The focus of this role is to enhance and standardize processes – there is a huge investment in a global ERP upgrade and the Global Business Services Controller – Finance (Poland) will work closely with Global Process Owner heads to ensure that what ever is implemented at local level can be transitioned across the wider business.

This is not a large team leadership role! Whilst you will work closely across all finance shared services operations, this is a tactical / strategic role that needs great process and systems knowledge rather than proven team management skills – you will however need great stakeholder management, communication and influencing skills.

• A proven track record of working at leadership level within International Finance Shared Services companies (captive or outsourced)
• Great technical process knowledge of P2P, O2C and R2R functions
• Able to identify ‘areas for improvement’ and implement new procedures and processes that are robust, scalable and able to be transitioned globally
• Passionate about achieving ‘world class’ standards with a continuous improvement mind set
• Excellent communication and presentation skills – able to influence stakeholders at all levels
• Willing to be based in the office (Hybrid 3 days office / 2 days working from home) and to travel internationally as required
