About the job

As our new Finance Specialist, you will be joining 28 ambitious colleagues in Supply Chain Finance - Global Principles & Process Optimization, where we drive optimisation projects across our global supply chain.

Enabler of financial and operational supply chain process optimisation through software robotics and artificial intelligence

With new features constantly added to our backlog of work, the team needs a strong profile who can be an asset in developing a sustainable and future-proof foundation for our many ambitions.

• Support User Acceptance Test (UAT) and Hyper care when problems arise for end-users in the implementation phase
• Drive the project management for software automation and other finance projects
• Have the possibility to become a citizen developer (RPA or data science) (optional)

To succeed in this role, you need to have experience within financial processes, project-oriented work and have a keen interest in IT systems and automation. With your fiercely analytical mindset, you can break down complex, manual business processes into automatable processes.
