• Cross-functional stakeholder leadership: proven ability to align diverse stakeholder groups (including senior leaders), drive decisions, and keep work moving through influence and coordination.
• Delivery under ambiguity: comfortable working at pace; adapts under pressure, manages shifting priorities, and stays outcomes-focused.
• Structured problem-solving & organizational awareness: anticipates risks, resolves blockers, and navigates complex environments with sound judgment.
• Data, reporting & knowledge management: builds and maintains a single source of truth (definitions, dashboards, playbooks/decision logs) to improve visibility, alignment, and onboarding.
• Systems-savvy & fast learner: able to navigate SAP, Ariba, Coupa, ServiceNow, and Microsoft 365 to move work end-to-end and remove friction.
• Finance & procurement execution: working knowledge of PO/GR, invoice flow, and month-end cadence; able to troubleshoot process/system issues and support budget owners.

WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON

You will be the operational hub that turns global and regional demand into a single EMEA plan, aligns partners to priorities, and ensures reliable execution.

Key responsibilities:

• You manage the flow of global and local requests, converting inputs into a single, prioritized EMEA operational plan with clear ownership, milestones, and decision points.
• You translate business requirements into clear partner guidance, ensuring vendor workstreams align to the EMEA plan and adjust quickly as priorities evolve.

• You enable cross-team collaboration across service teams, enabling functions, and partners to resolve dependencies, activate GPS priorities, and keep delivery on track.
• You support month-end close activities and consult internal budget owners on PO/GR execution, resolving finance/procurement system blockers and process gaps.
