Purpose of Role

The Global Process Owner – Accounts Payable (AP) owns the end-to-end design, standardization, validation and continuous improvement of the global Accounts Payable (Invoice-to-Pay) process within the Source-to-Pay (STP) function. The role anchors a ~18-month AP transformation, with clear mandate to design, validate and implement processes that drive higher automation (touchless / straight-through invoice processing), efficiency and control. Acting as product owner for the AP technology stack (SAP, ReadSoft, SAP invoice & payment modules, Tungsten), the GPO defines global process standards and governance, produces and maintains detailed process documentation, aligns Procurement, Finance/Controllership and Mondelēz Digital Services (MDS), and directly manages the outsourced BPO partner — delivering measurable gains in cycle time, first-time match, exception handling, on-time payment and cost per invoice while protecting working capital (DPO) and compliance.

Main Responsibilities

• End-to-End AP Process Ownership. Leads global Invoice-to-Pay standardization, governance, policy and continuous improvement; designs, validates and implements the target process; produces heavy process documentation (process maps, SOPs, control points, RACI).
• AP Automation & Technology Product Ownership. Owns the AP technology roadmap; configures and optimizes SAP, ReadSoft (intelligent capture / OCR / validation), SAP invoice & payment-run modules and Tungsten (e-invoicing / Process Director) to drive touchless processing and automated 2- and 3-way matching.
• Performance Management & KPIs. Owns the AP KPI suite across efficiency, quality and financial dimensions; builds dashboards, monitors performance and drives improvement.
• Stakeholder Leadership & Change Management. Aligns Procurement, Finance/Controllership and MDS; chairs governance forums; leads change, adoption and training across the transformation.
• SOP Design & Celonis Process Intelligence. Designs and maintains AP standard operating procedures (SOPs) and standard work and builds the AP process digital twin in Celonis — defining KPIs, dashboards and process-mining insights to target automation and reduce exceptions.

Career Experiences Required & Role Implications

• 6+ years of relevant Accounts Payable / Purchase-to-Pay experience, with hands-on operational background in global AP environments and complex end-to-end user processes.
• Proven process design: building, mapping and refining operational processes from scratch (BPMN 2.0 process design; process mining / intelligence a plus).
• Deep AP & procurement technology expertise; hands-on familiarity with SAP, ReadSoft, SAP Invoice & Payment-run modules and Tungsten is highly critical.
• Track record delivering global AP automation / transformation programmes and governing outsourced BPO partners to SLA.
• Senior cross-functional stakeholder management across Procurement, Finance/AP/Controllership and MDS/IT in matrixed organizations.
• Individual contributor (no direct reports) — top-tier collaboration and influence without authority. Bachelor's degree required; Lean Six Sigma desirable.

Fixed-term contract for one and a half years.
