2. Record-to-Report and Financial Close Own R2R dependencies arising from manufacturing, inventory and logistics accounting, ensuring accurate and timely recording in the General Ledger. Govern period-end activities including journals, accruals, reconciliations, allocations, settlements, inventory and WIP accounting, price differences, intercompany transactions and relevant fixed-asset accounting. Ensure balance‑sheet integrity, timely account certification, effective variance analysis and completion of month‑, quarter‑ and year‑end reporting. Maintain alignment between supply‑chain accounting, management reporting, statutory reporting and group reporting requirements. Drive resolution of upstream process or interface issues that affect financial close, inventory valuation or reporting accuracy.+1
3. SAP S/4HANA Transformation and Deployment Act as the Finance process lead and subject‑matter expert for integrated SAP S/4HANA FI/CO, product costing, inventory accounting and R2R capabilities. Lead fit‑to‑standard and localization activities while balancing global‑template integrity with valid market, legal and reporting requirements. Govern finance requirements across solution validation, data migration, UAT, regression testing, cutover, go‑live, hyper‑care and post‑go‑live stabilization. Ensure effective integration across the Universal Journal, General Ledger, Controlling, Material Ledger, cost and profit centers, production processes and supply‑chain transactions.

Ensure financial data remains complete, accurate and traceable across manufacturing, logistics and accounting processes.+1
5. Operational Excellence and Business Partnership Lead cross‑functional resolution of recurring process, data and system issues, addressing root causes rather than relying on temporary workarounds. Identify opportunities for workflow automation, improved reconciliations, enhanced analytics, simplified close activities and reduced manual intervention. Translate supply‑chain financial information into clear insights on inventory, cost performance, manufacturing variances and financial‑close impacts. Build strong partnerships with Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Logistics, Procurement, Finance, GBS, Internal Controls, Digital & technology and implementation partners.
