Group Finance Optimization & Automation Lead

The employees ApS, on behalf of HydraSpecma, are looking for a strong profile with a solid understanding of economics, who is motivated by creating a better connection between processes, systems, data and technology in an international Finance organization.
This is not a classic controller role with a primary focus on reporting and day-to-day operations.
You will have a central role in further developing HydraSpecma's global Finance system setup across countries, companies and functions. The focus is on creating common processes, better system utilization, aligned support systems and smarter workflows, so that the finance function can increase the level of service and create even more value for the organization.
The position can be located in either Skjern, Silkeborg and Gothenburg and reports directly to the Group CFO.
### The role
Your primary task will be to further develop and optimize HydraSpecma's finance processes and finance support systems at group level. The role is about creating a better connection between Finance, IT, data and the operational processes, so that Finance can work more uniformly, efficiently and service-oriented across countries and companies.
You must help ensure that HydraSpecma makes better use of the existing finance systems and that common workflows, higher data quality and more scalable processes are created. This involves both identifying opportunities for improvement, challenging manual workflows and translating needs from Finance into concrete solutions in close collaboration with IT and the business.
You will have a role within both new implementation and ongoing updates within Finance in D365FO and will have a central role in coordinating and further developing the use of systems and processes across the organization. At the same time, you must drive initiatives within automation, AI and RPA, where this can create real value and free up time in Finance.
## In short, you must:
create common and more efficient finance processes across countries and companies
ensure better utilization of financial systems, including align Finance support systems
drive improvement
