Global Accounting Process Owner (m/f/d)
FlixBus · Gurgaon, India · 21h ago
At Flix, we offer a dynamic work environment with competitive pay, strong growth opportunities, and a tech-driven approach to making travel more accessible, sustainable, and affordable.
Flix operates one of the world's largest intercity mobility networks. As we scale across continents, our finance function needs to match that ambition — standardized, automated, and future-ready. This role is the engine behind that transformation. You'll own the global accounting process agenda end-to-end: setting standards, driving harmonization across regions and shared service centres, and leading the shift toward intelligent, AI-enabled finance operations.
If you've spent years advising clients on finance transformation from the outside and are ready to build something from the inside — this is that seat.
About the Role
- Define and govern global accounting standards, policies, procedures, and controls across all Flix entities and shared service centres
- Drive process harmonization and standardization across regions, business units, and GBS/SSC environments
- Lead the global process optimization roadmap — from RPA and workflow automation to agentic AI and ERP enhancements — prioritizing initiatives that deliver measurable value
- Set and monitor process KPIs, service levels, and performance targets; lead continuous improvement cycles based on data
- Embed compliance across accounting policies, internal controls, audit requirements, and regulatory standards
- Partner with SSC operations, IT, country and regional finance teams, Product Owners, and external providers to optimize end-to-end process performance
- Apply process mining, analytics, and benchmarking to surface inefficiencies, identify root causes, and adopt leading practices
- Lead change management — communications, training, and adoption — for new processes and technologies
About You
- Big 4 background at Senior Manager level or above in Finance Transformation, Accounting Advisory (FAAS), or GBS/Shared Services — this is the core requirement
- Proven track record delivering multi-country finance transformation or process excellence programs; international experience in Europe or North America is a strong plus
- Deep expertise in end-to-end accounting processes (R2R, P2P, O2C) with the ability to translate business requirements into technology-enabled solutions
- Hands-on experience with ERP platforms (SAP, Oracle, Workday) and finance technology tools; familiarity with process automation (RPA, APIs, workflow tools) and process mining is highly valued
- Experience working in or alongside product and engineering teams in agile environments (sprint reviews, roadmap planning)
- Strong stakeholder management across global, cross-functional, and cross-cultural teams
- Degree in Business Administration, Accounting, Finance, or a related field; professional qualifications (CA, ACCA, CPA, CMA) are a plus
We recognize that everyone carries a unique set of valuable skills and experiences. If you think you could have an impact even though you don't meet 100% of the requirements, we still encourage you to apply. We want to hear from you!
