Job description

Fixed-term Contract (12 months – maternity cover, with possibility of extension) | Full-time | Hybrid (min. 1 day/week from the office) | Kraków

We're looking for a Finance Process Improvement (Junior) Project Manager / Continuous Improvement Specialist for Amer Sports' office in Kraków.

Amer Sports is a global collective of iconic sports and outdoor brands, powered by a community of people who share a passion for authenticity, impact, and excellence. We bring together leading brands, talented teams, and a culture built on collaboration. If you’re looking for an environment where you can make an impact and grow your career, we invite you to explore the opportunity below.

At our Global Business Services center in Kraków, we're on a continuous journey to make finance processes faster, smarter, and more impactful. In this role, you'll be at the heart of that journey — analysing performance data, identifying what's holding processes back, and leading structured improvement initiatives that deliver real, measurable results. If you love turning complex problems into clear action plans and thrive in a collaborative, data-driven environment, this is a great opportunity to create visible impact across a global finance organisation.

Process Performance & Analysis

Analyse KPIs and performance reports to identify trends, risks, and improvement opportunities across GBS finance processes.

Translate data insights into clear problem statements and actionable recommendations, with a focus on understanding root causes and performance drivers.

Process Improvement (Lean Six Sigma)

Lead and support process improvement initiatives using Lean Six Sigma methodologies.

Apply structured problem-solving techniques such as root cause analysis and process mapping to drive measurable improvements in efficiency, quality, and cycle time.

Go-to-Green Initiatives

Drive Go-to-Green initiatives — partnering with Process Owners to define and execute recovery plans for underperforming KPIs and processes.

Monitor progress, ensure delivery of measurable improvements, and provide clear visibility of improvement status and outcomes to stakeholders.

Project & Change Management

Structure and lead improvement initiatives using project management methodologies — defining scope, milestones, ownership, and success criteria.

Support effective change implementation and ensure stakeholder adoption across the organisation.

Stakeholder Collaboration & Governance

Partner with Finance Process Owners and business stakeholders — facilitating performance discussions and aligning on improvement priorities.

Support development and implementation of process standards and performance frameworks, ensuring alignment between KPIs, process design, and improvement initiatives.

You will report to Senior Director, GBS Transformation and Operations, with a dotted line to the GBS Finance Transformation Project and Change Manager.

What you need to succeed

Experience

3–5+ years of experience in Finance, Process Excellence, or a closely related role.

Demonstrated track record of driving process improvements and delivering measurable results.

Experience in an SSC or GBS environment is strongly preferred.

Qualifications

Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification (minimum) — required.

Knowledge of project management methodologies (e.g., Agile, Waterfall, or similar).

Skills & Personal Attributes

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills — you can identify root causes and translate data insights into concrete actions.

Solid experience working with KPIs and performance data.

Strong stakeholder management and communication skills — you can facilitate difficult conversations and align people around shared priorities.

Ability to influence and drive change across a complex, international organisation.

Self-driven, detail-oriented, and comfortable owning initiatives end-to-end.

Languages

Fluent English (written and spoken) is mandatory.

What We Consider a Plus

Prosci Change Management certification (or equivalent).

Experience with Power BI or similar data visualisation tools.

Advanced Excel skills.

Familiarity with SAP or other ERP systems.

Knowledge of process modelling tools such as Visio or ARIS.
