Controlling Group Business Process Owner H/F

GEODIS has launched in November 2023 its FIT project (Finance Transformation, Finance & IT) to implement its Finance Core Model processes using a robust blend of solutions (S4 HANA and Coupa) that will be progressively deployed worldwide across ~52 countries over the next few years. The Core Model design is coordinated centrally by a team of Group Business Process Owners (GBPOs) under the responsibility of the Business Transformation lead. GBPOs cover all Procurement & Finance processes: Record-to-Report (R2R), Order-to-Cash (O2C), Source-to-Pay (S2P, Coupa scope), Record-to-Pay (R2P), Treasury (TRY) and Controlling (CTR).

Controlling is a critical process for the company. GEODIS has recently finalized the roll‑out of its Performance Management Blueprint with ORACLE Cloud EPM as an enabler. All business controllers adopted common controlling principles, standardised through an MDM Finance solution and a Data Lake.

With the FIT project, GEODIS aims to standardise its operational Finance business process in a single ERP.

• Pilot implementation in 2025 and Go‑live in October 2025
