Job Description

Product Specialist - Business Forecasting / Financial Planning & Consolidation

Delft

Full-time

You see things a little differently. So do we. You're curious to dig deeper and structurally solve and prevent problems. Come see things a little differently with us.

About us

Our vision, to create a better everyday life for the many people, influences everything we do. It's a vision that lives in the everyday efforts of all co-workers, all over the world. Fulfilling the IKEA vision requires a strong, efficient and sustainable business setup. That's why it's built on a franchise system. The IKEA Franchisor, Inter IKEA Systems B.V., is the worldwide owner of the IKEA Concept, and has the responsibility to ensure that the IKEA Concept stays attractive and competitive while enabling growth and a profitable business for IKEA franchisees.

Take time to explore the IKEA Franchise system here, and read more about us.

About the role

As a Product Specialist - Business Forecasting/ Financial Planning & Consolidation (BPC & SAC) your main stakeholders are the Solution Owner (BPC & SAC), your super user network and the many users of the solution (approx. 330 users at this time).

You are the functional solution expert and provide functional user and incident resolution support on a daily basis.

Other things you can expect to do in this role:

  • Validate functionality and design for continuous improvement of the solution
  • Implement change requests
  • Solution testing and validation of new functionalities
  • Support projects and change requests for the assigned business solutions
  • Create training plans and How-to guides
  • Develop learning & communication content (e.g. release notes)
  • Train your (super)users both online and face-to-face trainings

When you start working in this role the focus will be on solving ad-hoc problems. On the longer term we would like the role to become more pro-active; preventing problems, eliminating manual work as much as possible and really shift the content of the role to become more value adding (having the answer before even the question is asked).

About you

You have worked in Finance and have good knowledge of Financial and Management planning and consolidation processes, you're familiar with financial jargon and you are interested to work (more) with IT. You have experience to engage with many different people, both in person and remotely. You want to help and support our co-workers to the best of your ability, while at the same time you're able to say no and explain the "why" in case any requests cannot be granted. You're a do-er and get things done. You also have a long-term vision in mind with any actions that you undertake, for example you see that workarounds are just a short-term fix. You're curious to dig deeper, analyse data and structurally solve and prevent problems.

To be successful in this role you must have:

  • You have experience working with SAP BPC (NW) and SAP BW and SAC.

(However, knowledge of similar applications such as Oracle Hyperion, Cognos Controller, Tagetik and Anaplan combine with the strong planning and consolidation process knowledge is also welcome)

  • A degree in Business/Finance or other relevant areas.
  • You have a minimum of 5 years' experience working on the edge of business and IT, on both strategic and operational level.

You are proficient in the following knowledge and capabilities:

  • You have knowledge and perhaps even technical skills in i.e. SQL, Python, PowerBI or other visualisation tools and system integrations.
  • Experience in working with modern cloud-based solutions
  • Experience and enjoy working in a multicultural, global and changing environment,
  • A team player but also self-going and eager to take initiative
  • Solution and customer oriented
  • Curious to explore, eager to learn and energized by sharing
  • Inspired by the possibilities and opportunities of digital and information technology to enable, transform and improve processes
  • Strong verbal and written English language skills.
  • Knowledge of an end-to-end franchise system.
  • Knowledge of digital technology, digital infrastructure and IT services
  • Knowledge about business solution operation and strong digital support experience
  • Good problem-solving and communication skills
Additional Information

This is a full or part time role (40 hours per week) located in Delft, the Netherlands. You will report to the Product Manager Finance.

15th May 2024 is the closing date to apply for this role.

Please note: Only application including the motivation letter and CV will be considered. Please send your application – CV and motivation – in English and tell us why you would be a good fit. We look forward to hearing from you
