Partner with end users to understand pain points, gather feedback, iterate on solutions, and ensure SAP Finance platforms deliver business value.

Serve as a trusted advisor to business leaders on Finance Technology topics.
- Continuous Improvement & Innovation: Monitor industry trends and emerging technologies (AI/ML, RPA, predictive analytics) to inform the finance technology strategy and drive ongoing improvement.
- Team Leadership & Vendor Management: Lead and grow the SAP Finance Solutions team in Poland and the EMEA region. Oversee consulting partners and vendor resources, ensuring delivery quality, adherence to standards, and strategic alignment. Foster a collaborative, high-performance culture within the Finance Technology organization.
