This leader executes and helps define the global vision for SAP Finance solutions—balancing standardized templates with regional requirements for European markets—to ensure processes are efficient, compliant, and scalable.

This is a highly collaborative position that partners with business process owners, GTS solution managers, and technical teams to define roadmaps, govern changes, enhance solution maturity, and execute multi‑region deployments.

Partner with end users to understand pain points, gather feedback, iterate on solutions, and ensure SAP Finance platforms deliver business value.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate deeply with Finance, Tax, Treasury, FP&A, Supply Chain, Commercial, and GTS teams to ensure solution design reflects business needs, fosters end‑to‑end alignment, and supports scalable operational models. Serve as a trusted advisor to business leaders on Finance Technology topics.
• Continuous Improvement & Innovation: Monitor industry trends and emerging technologies (AI/ML, RPA, predictive analytics) to inform the finance technology strategy and drive ongoing improvement.
• Team Leadership & Vendor Management: Lead and grow the SAP Finance Solutions team in Poland and the EMEA region. Oversee consulting partners and vendor resources, ensuring delivery quality, adherence to standards, and strategic alignment. Foster a collaborative, high-performance culture within the Finance Technology organization.
