Description du poste

Controlling Group Business Process Owner H/F

Overview

GEODIS has launched in November 2023 its FIT project (FInance Transformation, Finance & IT) in order to implement its Finance Core Model processes with a robust blend of solutions (S4 HANA and Coupa). This will be progressively deployed on a worldwide scope of entities (~52 countries) over the next few years. Core Model design is coordinated centrally by a team of Group Business Process Owners (GBPOs) under the responsibility of the Business Transformation lead. GBPOs cover all Procurement & Finance processes: Record-to-Report (R2R), Order-to-Cash (O2C), Source-to-Pay (S2P, Coupa scope), Record-to-Pay (R2P), Treasury (TRY) and Controlling (CTR). The Controlling process is a critical area and GEODIS has recently finalized the roll-out of its Performance Management Blueprint with the ORACLE Cloud EPM solution. All business controllers across the Company adopted the same controlling principles, standardized via an MDM Finance solution and a Data Lake established in tandem with the EPM solution. With FIT, GEODIS aims to standardize operational Finance business processes in a single ERP.

Project status in a nutshell: - Core Model Process finalized (initial version) end of 2024 - Pilot implementation in 2025 and Go-live in October 2025 - Core Model Finalization (Line of Business Specifics, enhanced Core model) and Deployment waves to start from 2026 first quarter

Mission & main responsibility

Promote and explain GEODIS Business Transformation ambitions to GEODIS internal and external stakeholders on Controlling processes & tools (End-to-end View).

The GBPO has a key role to play in each phase of the project. He contributes to most activities as a leader or as a contributor to bring business insights and to ensure the Core Model is respected:

• Waves framing and business preparation
• Fit-gap analysis and decision-making to ensure core model consistency or, if valuable for all, Core model adjustment
• Detailed design activities
• Test phase (User Acceptance Tests), with contribution to System Integration Test when needed
• Data Migration contribution
• Change Management (incl. training activities)
• Hypercare support

Animate a community of local process owners (LBPO) to promote and explain core model processes. Build a strong Finance Community and facilitate it along the project and after deployments is a key ambition of the Group Finance Department.

• Secure interdependency management with other GEODIS projects not covered by FIT (e.g., e-invoicing, business process evolution, BI replacement, …)
• The GBPO remains the “Core Model Guardian” for the Controlling Process and leads the continuous improvement approach in relation with local contributors, functional directors, Product Owners and IT teams.
• Controlling is a transversal process; the Controlling GBPO will work closely with the other GBPOs.

Qualifications

• Master's degree from a Business School, Institut d'Etudes Politiques, engineering school or equivalent
• Excellent Finance process knowledge with minimum 10 years experience in Controlling
• Project Management experience
• Appetite for IT subjects, excellent knowledge of SAP and satellite finance applications and data flows

• Curious, open minded and solution oriented
