Your main responsibility will be to develop new Order-to-Cash (O2C) functionality, including CRM integration and online payment systems, supporting the proactive design of centralized O2C capabilities, and forming part of broader service and platform architecture investments.

You will own the solution design and delivery while ensuring alignment with evolving GBS global standards. This involves coordinating with IT on upstream tools, such as order management, to ensure a seamless customer experience while minimizing manual interventions. You will ensure that key considerations such as controls, legal entity structuring, accounting, and tax compliance are incorporated into process and tool designs.

  • Supporting integrations of new businesses as GBS supports business acquisitions and divestments with the role providing support to the various project teams on specific process and service-related areas.
  • Providing support to key Business-led projects as GBS needs to update processes and ways of working based on Business Projects integration of a new Order Management Tool for a Division or GBS considerations as Business projects look to set up new legal entities.
  • Designing and architecting solutions to solve business problems in partnership with GBS, TS&S, and Business Stakeholders often working as part of cross-functional teams.
  • Understanding the as-is process environment, including understanding how this varies from overall new global process design. Supporting the definition of to-be process design aligning with the global standard process and completion of a fit-gap analysis between as-is and to-be definitions as required.
  • Defining and implementing key process controls, dashboards, and scorecards to ensure manual and automated processes are properly controlled.
  • Implementing updates or new processes across our GBS environment, including managing key risks and issues.
  • Ensuring GBS-related costs of service development are budgeted, tracked, and recharged as appropriate.
  • Staying current with industry trends, technologies, and best practices.
  • Ensuring that all relevant company policies and control requirements are adhered to.

Qualifications

  • Qualified accountant preferred.
  • Good knowledge of order-to-cash processes and solutions, tax requirements, financial control principles, and accounting practices.
  • Experience of working across Lean Six Sigma, Agile, and other project/process transformation methodologies.
  • Ideally worked with both Oracle and SAP from an ERP environment, including a good understanding of what good processes look like.
  • Proven experience in process design, optimization, and management.
  • Experience with process modeling and mapping tools along with Microsoft Office Suite of applications.
  • Ability to work collaboratively as part of a broad multi-functional team.
