About u-blox

About u-blox u-blox is a global leader in automotive, industrial, and consumer markets, driving innovation through our cutting-edge positioning and short-range communication technologies. We are the pioneers behind high-precision technologies, providing smart and reliable solutions that enable people, vehicles, and machines to determine their precise position and communicate wirelessly. With headquarters in Thalwil, Switzerland, and offices across Europe, Asia, and the USA, we are making a global impact.

Job Description

Help shape simpler, smarter ways of working across u-blox. As Senior Business Process Manager, you will take a process-centric approach to our ERP transformation: starting with how the business works and what it needs to achieve, then shaping how systems, data and automation support it. Working across end-to-end processes such as Procure to Pay, Plan to Supply, Inventory to Fulfil, Order to Cash and Record to Report, you will turn complexity into practical improvements that reduce manual work and deliver measurable value. Your focus will extend beyond go-live to sustainable adoption and continuous improvement.

Based in IT and reporting to the Head of Business Applications, you will work closely with Business Process Owners, Finance, Sales and Commercial Operations, Procurement, Supply Chain, IT and data teams, and external implementation partners. This is a specialist role without direct reports: you will lead through expertise, collaboration and constructive challenge, while business functions retain ownership of their processes. If you enjoy connecting people, processes and technology and building alignment across different priorities, this role offers the opportunity to make a tangible cross-functional impact.

The role can be located in Cambourne, UK or in Thalwil, Switzerland.

Your Responsibilities

Lead end-to-end process analysis, mapping, simplification and standardisation as part of ERP transformation and ongoing improvement, with the Abacus Version 26 upgrade as the initial delivery focus.

Work with Business Process Owners to define future-state processes, requirements, controls and acceptance criteria, challenging unnecessary complexity and unjustified local variations.

Identify automation and digitisation opportunities, maintain the improvement backlog and recommend priorities based on business value, feasibility, risk and dependencies.

Establish clear ownership, roles, decision rights and governance with business and IT owners, documenting what is needed for delivery, controls and sustainable handover.

Lead the process workstream from design through testing, training alignment, cutover and stabilisation, ensuring process deliverables are ready and escalating unresolved risks and decisions.

Define process KPIs and benefit measures with business and data teams, track improvement progress and support adoption, while Business Process Owners retain accountability for operational outcomes.

Your Skills and Experience

A relevant degree or equivalent professional experience, with at least five years of relevant experience in business process management, continuous improvement or ERP-enabled transformation.

Strong practical knowledge of BPM methods and process modelling, including BPMN, end-to-end mapping and operating-model design.

Experience supporting complex, cross-functional transformation and translating business needs into process designs, requirements and acceptance criteria.

Ability to connect process, system, data and control considerations across Finance, Sales, Supply Chain and IT.

Strong facilitation, communication and influencing skills, with the ability to challenge constructively and align stakeholders with differing priorities.

Analytical judgement to assess improvement opportunities, define meaningful KPIs and benefits, and manage process dependencies, risks and readiness.

You must have right to work in the relevant country.

Bonus Point

Professional qualifications or formal training in BPM or BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation).

Lean or Six Sigma qualifications or training.

What are your perks?

A multicultural and international company with over 60 different nationalities

Project-based activities working with colleagues across the globe

A strong learning environment and regular career discussions
