  • Oversee end-to-end transactional finance operations, including Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Billing, Credit, Cash Application, and selected accounting activities.
  • Drive performance across Procure-to-Pay (P2P) and Order-to-Cash (O2C), supporting improvements in DSO, DPO, free cash flow, and operational efficiency.

  • Standardize global processes, policies, and ways of working across multi-entity, multi-currency, and multi-jurisdictional operations.
  • Lead digital transformation and process optimization, leveraging solutions such as OCR, automation, AI, and cash application tools to reduce manual work and improve efficiency.
  • Maintain a strong internal control environment, ensure SOX compliance and audit readiness, and partner with internal and external auditors to address findings and mitigate operational risks.
  • Lead global change management and stakeholder engagement to enable a successful transition to the centralized shared services model.
  • Recruit, build, mentor, and develop a high-performing shared services organization while fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

What You Will Need

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field.
  • 7 to 10 years of progressive shared services and/or accounting experience, including at least 5 years in a senior leadership role within a Shared Services environment.
  • Proven experience leading global shared services consolidations, regional-to-hub migrations, and large-scale organizational change across international entities.
  • Deep expertise in Procure-to-Pay (P2P) and Order-to-Cash (O2C) operations.
  • Experience managing and scaling multi-entity, multi-currency global finance operations.
  • Strong experience with process automation, operational transformation, and KPI/SLA management.
  • Strong knowledge of enterprise ERP systems, ideally SAP S/4HANA.
  • Strong understanding of internal controls, SOX compliance, and operational risk management.
  • Proven leadership and team development experience, including building and leading high-performing teams.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, collaboration, and organizational skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and lead complex transformation initiatives in a fast-paced, global environment.
  • Excellent communication skills in English and Polish, both written and spoken.
  • Ability to travel occasionally to company sites, plants, or project locations.

Would be an advantage:

  • CPA, CMA, MBA, or equivalent advanced qualification.
  • Experience within a manufacturing environment.
  • Experience implementing advanced finance automation solutions, including AI, OCR, or automated cash application technologies.

What You Will Gain

  • Private health insurance, life and accident insurance
  • MyBenefit/Multikafeteria package
  • Participation in the company performance bonus program
  • PPK payment account up to 4% of your compensation, depending on seniority
  • Semi-flexible working time
  • Employee Benefit Fund
