What you can look forward to.

Together with a motivated team responsible for administrative purchasing and invoice digitisation at SBB, you will shape daily operations, develop solutions for current challenges, and commit yourself to performance and future viability. In doing so, you make an important contribution to the management and further development of all matters as well as the promotion of employees. You will further develop the Shared Service Organisation Finance, aligning with the existing Operational Excellence Framework. As a member of the management team, you can look forward to exciting workshops and discussions regarding future direction and the necessary measures and framework conditions.

What you can achieve.

• You are responsible for the further development of the administrative purchasing and invoice receipt process and independently implement efficiency-enhancing measures. This includes, besides smaller continuous improvement projects, representing the specialist departments in process adjustments and automating workflows. In this context, you maintain intensive exchange with internal partners, clients, and suppliers to achieve benefits for the overall process.
• In the SAP S/4Hana implementation project, you will engage with the Common Core (common process standard), the development and documentation of new functions, training of employees, and support of parallel operations (R/3, S/4).
• For our reporting system, you will take responsibility for monitoring and controlling our key performance indicators (KPIs). You will prepare comprehensive analyses for various stakeholders from management and specialist departments and develop well-founded recommendations.
• Together with the management team, you will ensure that our applied methods, tools, and departmental strategy are purposefully (benefit, efficiency, transparency) selected, developed, and implemented.
• To understand the operational daily business and handle various enquiries, you will partially participate in the work.

What you bring with you.

• You are a curious, knowledge-thirsty personality with a precise and thoughtful working style. You can perform your tasks independently within a given framework and work swiftly, efficiently, and persistently. Thanks to your proactivity, you support changes and actively commit to their implementation.
• Due to your high quality standards and business understanding, you recognise optimisation potentials and implement corresponding improvement projects with enthusiasm.
• As an innovative leader with strong judgement and assertiveness, you strive for high quality and are characterised by a pronounced service orientation.
• You are motivated to further develop the team and organisation through an open feedback and error culture. In our area, teamwork is the key to success. As a team player, you contribute to a motivating working atmosphere.
• You have a strong affinity for processes, systems, and new technologies (RPA, AI, ML). Additionally, good SAP knowledge (SAP R/3 & S4 MM & FI module) is expected. Your first professional experiences have been gained in relevant areas such as finance and/or purchasing.
• Besides a completed degree in business administration with a focus on accounting or purchasing, you also bring initial experience in the professional leadership of employees. German is your mother tongue and you have good knowledge of a second national language.
