Senior Manager for new service centre

Do you want to strengthen your professional profile where both people management and functional expertise are key elements? And do you enjoy the freedom to influence finance and HR operations? This is your chance to be part of forming an entirely new organisational entity.

Be the architect of your own team
As Senior Manager, you join our Business Service Operations (BSO) in a newly established service centre that delivers HR and Finance services to the entire LEGO Group. From 3 central locations in Mexico, Singapore and the Czech Republic, our purpose is to create an agile and effective platform to support the strategy of reaching twice as many children over the next 5-7 years. You will join the unit in Kladno, Czech Republic, where you will be responsible for processes related to accounts payable (AP) and travel expenses management (TEM), setting up and leading a new team of +60 people, including 7 leaders. More specifically, you will:

- Build, manage and develop your own team, driving a high-performing, customer- and service-oriented culture and promoting collaboration, coherence, transition and process excellence through simplicity and agility
- Implement, execute and optimise functional AP and TEM processes in a timely, accurate and efficient manner, ensuring global standardisation and connection to other areas within the LEGO Group
- Ensure scalability and adaptability by identifying areas of improvement in our processes and deliverables
- Manage complex stakeholders, establish strong collaborations with local business units and work closely together with the BSO leader group

Trusted to deliver through strong collaborations
Having a vital role in establishing the new service centre setup, you will be trusted to make decisions, do what is right, and get things done to the highest possible quality. You will become part of a globally connected community where the focus is on setting up the new service centre. Here, we encourage you to think creatively and act proactively, sharing your ideas on how we enable our international business.

Solid experience with leading people and processes
To succeed, you are able to effectively drive performance management while also being an excellent networker with great inter-personal and negotiation skills who can communicate with various stakeholders across functions, business units and cultures. A visionary and charismatic leader, you can attract the right people and build trust among stakeholders. You have a global mind-set and understand how BSO can help in innovating and globalising the LEGO Group.

Your qualifications:

- 7+ years of experience within finance / accounts payable
- 5+ years of experience leading larger teams and preferably also leaders in a multinational corporation
- A strong track record of achievements, demonstrating deep financial knowledge leading to measureable business results
- Solid knowledge of SAP and a higher degree within Finance, Economics and/or Accounting
- Complete fluency in English and a wish to travel 20-30 days globally a year

Bringing it to life
"This is the first time that we merge finance and HR-related services, so this is truly a unique opportunity to be a key part in establishing a completely new organisational entity right from the beginning," says Lars Schiøler Andersen, Senior Director, Finance Operations Europe.

Join the global LEGO® Family
In the LEGO Group, we succeed together, and you will be part of a global family, where you can use your creativity and enjoy a fun working environment.
