Controlling Group Business Process Owner H/F, Levallois-Perret

Controlling Group Business Process Owner H/F Overview GEODIS has launched in November 2023 its FIT project (FInance Transformation, Finance&IT) in order to implement its Finance Core Model processes with a robust blend of solutions (S4 HANA and Coupa). This will be progressively deployed on a worldwide scope of entities (~52 countries) over the next few years. 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). The Controlling process is a critical area and GEODIS has recently finalized the roll-out of its Performance Management Blueprint with the ORACLE Cloud EPM solution. All business controllers across the Company adopted the same controlling principles, standardized via an MDM Finance solution and a Data Lake established in tandem with the EPM solution. With FIT, GEODIS aims to standardize operational Finance business processes in a single ERP.

Project status in a nutshell: - Core Model Process finalized (initial version) end of 2024 - Pilot implementation in 2025 and Go-live in October 2025 - Core Model Finalization (Line of Business Specifics, enhanced Core model) and Deployment waves to start from 2026 first quarter

Mission&main responsibility Promote and explain GEODIS Business Transformation ambitions to GEODIS internal and external stakeholders on Controlling processes&tools (End-to-end View).

The GBPO has a key role to play in each phase of the project. He contributes to most activities as a leader or as a contributor to bring business insights and to ensure the Core Model is respected:

Waves framing and business preparation

Fit-gap analysis and decision-making to ensure core model consistency or, if valuable for all, Core model adjustment

Detailed design activities

Test phase (User Acceptance Tests), with contribution to System Integration Test when needed

Data Migration contribution

Change Management (incl. training activities)

Hypercare support

Animate a community of local process owners (LBPO) to promote and explain core model processes. Build a strong Finance Community and facilitate it along the project and after deployments is a key ambition of the Group Finance Department.

Secure interdependency management with other GEODIS projects not covered by FIT (e.g., e-invoicing, business process evolution, BI replacement,…)

The GBPO remains the“Core Model Guardian” for the Controlling Process and leads the continuous improvement approach in relation with local contributors, functional directors, Product Owners and IT teams.

Controlling is a transversal process; the Controlling GBPO will work closely with the other GBPOs.
