Sulzer is a leading engineering company with a proud heritage of innovation. Join our global team to
grow your expertise and develop innovative solutions that enable a prosperous and more
sustainable society.
We are looking for a Finance Transformation Consultant to join our Finance & Analytics team, based
at our Centre of Excellence in Pune, India. This is an opportunity to lead how Finance processes are
understood, redesigned, and standardised across a global organisation - working at the intersection of Finance expertise and structured problem-solving, in a team that genuinely welcomes new ideas. If you are a strong Finance professional who thrives on diagnosing process challenges, framing solutions, and driving real change, we want to hear from you.
About the role
Our Finance & Analytics team sits at the centre of Sulzer’s effort to standardise and improve
Finance processes globally. We develop and roll out digital tools that support month-end close, cost
controlling, and financial reporting across our legal entities - and we are growing our capability in
Pune to meet an expanding project agenda.
As Finance Transformation Consultant, your primary contribution is Finance process knowledge and
consulting capability: the ability to walk into a process, understand how it works, identify where it
breaks down, and define what a better solution looks like. You will frame requirements, align
stakeholders, and drive solutions to adoption - in a team that values independence, intellectual
curiosity, and a bias toward action.
Your key responsibilities
- Drive Finance process diagnosis and improvement: Analyse existing Finance processes - particularly in month-end close, cost controlling, and management reporting - to identify gaps,inefficiencies, and opportunities for standardisation across Sulzer’s legal entities
- Frame and structure requirements: Translate Finance process problems into clear, well-structured briefs that technical colleagues, BI developers, and digital tools can act on - ensuring the Finance logic is sound before any tool is built
- Drive rollout and adoption: Own the end-to-end delivery of process improvements - from stakeholder alignment through configuration, testing, and rollout of Power Apps, SharePoint List, and Power Automate–based solutions that support knowledge transfer and month-end closing process coordination, to user training and adoption tracking
- Collaborate across functions and geographies: Work closely with Finance stakeholders, BI developers, IT, and the broader Finance & Analytics team across multiple time zones - managing your own workstream and communicating proactively to keep projects on track
- Contribute to the team’s transformation agenda: Bring forward ideas and proposals for how we can tackle problems more effectively - whether through process redesign, smarter use of data, or the application of emerging digital tools including AI
What you’ll need to succeed
MUST HAVE - EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE
- University degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related field
- Minimum 5 years’ experience in a Finance role with direct exposure to process improvement - ideally in controlling, FP&A, or financial reporting
- Proven ability to independently diagnose a Finance process problem, structure it clearly, and write a brief that a technical colleague can act on
- Experience managing your own workstream across geographies and time zones, with examples of stakeholder communication without close supervision
MUST HAVE - SKILLS & COMPETENCIES
- Strong analytical and structured thinking skills - you approach problems logically, define them precisely, and communicate your reasoning clearly
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, able to work effectively with Finance stakeholders, technical colleagues, and senior leadership across cultures
- Fluent in English to a professional standard
SHOULD HAVE / NICE TO HAVE
- Experience in manufacturing or industrial sectors
- Exposure to rollout and user adoption - training, feedback loops, driving behaviour change beyond go-live
- Understanding of how Finance data flows through ERP systems - what it represents, how it is structured, and what good reporting requires
- Familiarity with digital tools in a Finance context (reporting platforms, workflow automation, analytics environments) - not as a builder, but enough to have an informed conversation with one
- Experience working in or with shared service centres or centres of excellence
