Your role and responsibilities

In this role, you will be accountable for end-to-end performance of outsourced finance processes (P2P) delivered by a third-party service provider. The role ensures service stability, SLA adherence, continuous improvement, and value delivery, while acting as the single accountable owner of the process from a business perspective.

This is not an operational role and not a shadow processing team. The role exists to control, challenge, and improve the service provider. It is a key link between the BPO (process execution) and the ABB Robotics’ Global Process Owner (process design). In the initial separation phase, the main focus of the role will be taking part in the BPO set-up and transition, as well as the SAP ERP design and implementation.
