Location: Beauvais, France | International Scope: EMEA & APAC

Are you an experienced Finance leader looking for a role that combines industrial finance, international exposure, transformation and AI-driven process improvement?

We are looking for a Senior Manager, Finance Supply Chain to play a key role in strengthening and transforming our Supply Chain Finance organization across EMEA and APAC. This is a high-impact position combining a broad regional mandate with direct responsibility for the finance function of our Beauvais manufacturing site. You will work across manufacturing and Distribution & Transportation operations, partner with international Finance teams, and help shape more standardized, efficient and forward-looking ways of working.

Your Role

Drive Finance Transformation Across EMEA & APAC

• Partner closely with Finance colleagues across EMEA and APAC as well as U.S. corporate FP&A and Costing/Supply Finance teams.
• Promote consistent methodologies, reporting standards and ways of working across geographies.
• Act as an influencer and change leader across a complex international organization.

Lead Finance for Our Beauvais Manufacturing Site

Alongside your regional responsibilities, you will take direct Finance responsibility for our Beauvais plant. Your priorities will include:

• Strengthening financial processes, discipline and governance.
• Improving forecast accuracy and reliability.
• Developing the capabilities of the site Finance team.
• Building a deeper understanding of manufacturing operations and their key cost drivers.

This is much more than a traditional plant controlling position.
