ICT Finance & Controlling Architect

As an ICT Finance & Controlling Architect at Lotus Bakeries, you bridge strategy and execution. You operate as a domain architect with a broad, end‑to‑end view, translating business strategy into scalable IT solutions, and complement this with strong expertise that enables you to remain hands-on when needed. In your role of architect, you take the overall helicopter view over the functional domain of Finance & Controlling, which spans SAP FI, SAP CO & other software solutions in this functional area.

You think in concepts and you guide the team towards sustainable, end-to-end solutions aligned with the template and the business objectives. Next to your architect role, you will work as expert or as project lead in the area of Finance & Controlling. As expert you work hands-on to realize and deploy new functional solutions to cover business needs.

As project lead, you deliver projects within scope, time and budget. Within this functional domain, you guard the continuous update of the template & the documentation. A strong cross-domain perspective is essential, continuously assessing impacts on other functional areas and ensuring integrated, end-to-end processes (e.g.

Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, Record-to-Report). You ensure close collaboration with key users from Lotus Bakeries corporate departements, as well as sales offices & manufacturing sites across the world. You guide them on how to make the best use of standard functionality within SAP and other software solutions and you combine this with industry best practices.

Do you recognize yourself in this profile? Then we look forward to meeting you! You have a Master’s degree and at least 10 years of experience in the Finance & Controlling ICT domain within a multinational environment.

You have strong knowledge of the SAP Finance & Controlling modules (FI & CO) and the integration with other SAP modules & solutions (SD, MM, PP, …). You combine this with a broad interest in the entire integrated application landscape, including non-SAP finance & controlling solutions. Having participated in an SAP end-to-end roll-out and having managed specific projects in the domain of Finance & Controlling is vital in this role.

You think beyond your own domain and naturally take a cross-functional and global perspective. Experience with complex business topics such as consolidation, treasury management and rebates, as well as experience with tools such as SAP Vendor Invoice Management (VIM) and Concur, is considered an asset. We are looking for a strong communicator, able to influence stakeholders and translate complex topics into clear recommendations.

You thrive in a global IT environment and are comfortable operating in a dynamic, fast-changing context. Given the fact that our sales offices & manufacturing sites are around the world, you are willing to travel from time to time. Finally, you have strong communication skills and are fluent in Dutch and English.

French is a plus.
