• Supervise and guide finance hub teams responsible for:
• Order-to-Cash (OTC) – cash application processes
• Procure-to-Pay (P2P) – vendor invoice processing and payments
• Record-to-Report (R2R) – financial reporting and reconciliations
• Monitor team performance to ensure service level agreements (SLAs) and deadlines are met.
• Identify opportunities for process improvements and support automation initiatives within the hub.
• Ensure adherence to and regular updates of standard operating procedures (SOPs).
• Provide training, guidance, and support to junior team members to build team capability.
• Assist with ad hoc tasks and projects as assigned by the Finance Manager.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field. Professional qualifications (e.g., ACCA, CIMA, CPA, MIA) are preferred.
• 5–8 years of relevant experience, ideally within a shared services or finance hub environment.
• Solid understanding of OTC, P2P, and R2R processes.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and experience with ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Blackline).
• Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and work effectively under pressure.
