Finance Business Process Manager

Opportunity

Are you our new Finance Business Process Manager? Svitzer, a Maersk company, is looking for a Finance Business Process Manager to join a team of 14 ambitious Finance colleagues in our Head Office in Copenhagen. In the first couple of years, you will be fully allocated to the implementation of Microsoft Dynamic, Svitzer’s new ERP system. After this, you will be part of the run-mode Finance organisation. Svitzer has more than 4,000 employees and 440 vessels operating worldwide to service more than 150 ports and terminals across the globe.

We Offer

We offer a position with great development opportunities as part of a dynamic, fast paced global company. We have a lean and flat structure with a performance driven culture, and you will have independence to shape your role and contribute to successful performance of our team and our company. Svitzer has grown globally through new contracts and acquisitions, and the position offers the possibility of continuous professional and personal development, both within Svitzer and the Maersk Group.

We encourage our employees to assume ownership of their personal and professional development and we are strong believers of on-the-job-development and learn through new tasks, combined with on-going feedback. You will also participate in relevant courses and seminars, when applicable.

As part of the roll-out of the ERP system to the countries, some travel activity should be expected.

Key Responsibilities

As Finance Business Process Manager, you will be part of a dedicated team of other Finance professionals and be dedicated to the roll-out of a new ERP solution involving Basware and Microsoft D365. You will be supporting the rest of your cross-functional colleagues in the ERP roll-out, to deliver on the following tasks and responsibilities:

Localisation: You will facilitate the gathering and evaluation of the localisation requirements as part of a central template team, prior to the roll-out of the ERP system in the Europe region. This will i.e., be understanding the direct and indirect tax implications jointly with your tax colleagues, understating the bank setup and other localisation requirements.

Process mapping, SOPs, and training material: As part of the localisation requirements gathering, you will assist in ensuring the related SOPs are updated for the different sub-processes within ATR. You will also be instrumental in updating the training material to prepare for the roll-out to entities.

Roll-out of ERP system: You will be the focal point for the roll-out of the ERP system to the European region where you have gathered the localisation requirements and built a strong network with the various stakeholders. This will also entail training to the end users as well as supporting users in the system during hyper care.

Cross-functional Business Partnering: As the implementation project is highly cross functional between ATR, PTP and OTC, you will work closely with your cross functional colleagues within the project, but also with the other business partners within Svitzer’s run mode organisation, which among others will be the run mode BPO’s.

Who we are looking for

The ideal candidate holds a relevant master’s degree in economics, business, or any other relevant field, has a solid financial background, and comes with a minimum of 3-5 years from management consulting or an international company.

You have an analytical and structured approach to your work but also apply logic and pragmatic thinking. You are committed to delivering results and meeting deadlines in a fast-moving corporate environment where decisions are followed by prompt action. It is an advantage if you have experience with ERP implementations, but it is not a requirement.

You are devoted to meet expectations from our global organization, and you enjoy taking ownership and responsibility, working in teams, and delivering a quality product. Your analytical skills enable you to keep focus on and deal with complex issues. You are a strong communicator and an acknowledged team player with a high degree of personal integrity.

It is also a fundamental requirement to have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, be fully capable of thriving on assuming responsibility and achieving results – independently and as part of a team. In addition to this you have an adaptable mindset when it comes to understanding new systems.

As our corporate language is English, you must be fluent in both oral and written English. You must hold a valid Danish residence and work permit.

Interviews will be held on a continuous basis so please send your application soonest possible.
