Group Solution Owner - Finance (Infor M3 CloudSuite)

We Want You to Grow With Us 

Finance applications are at the heart of Intersnack’s financial control, planning, and compliance capability – spanning General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Financial Controlling, and Planning & Analytics across a complex, multi-entity international organisation. As Group Solution Owner for Finance, you will report to the Application Service Delivery Lead – Business Enabling Functions and take full accountability for the change, support, and continuous improvement of the Finance application landscape across Intersnack. You will act as the embedded solution architect for your domain, lead a team of Business Analysts and Application Specialists (directly or indirectly), and serve as the primary point of contact between IT, Finance business stakeholders, and external service partners. This is a senior role with significant cross-functional reach, real ownership, and a clear path towards Application Service Delivery leadership. 

What We Can Offer 

This role gives you genuine end-to-end accountability over one of the most business-critical application domains in the organisation – with the autonomy to drive delivery decisions, prioritise improvement initiatives, and shape the Finance application roadmap across Intersnack’s global operations. You will work closely with Finance functional leads, group process owners, architects, and external application partners, and you will be part of a supportive IT organisation that values deep Finance domain expertise and invests in its people’s continued development. Based in Düsseldorf with a hybrid work model, you will have the platform to become Intersnack’s internal authority on Finance applications in a complex, multi-entity FMCG environment.

• Align Finance application solutions with Intersnack’s strategic business and financial goals, actively supporting digital transformation and process automation initiatives within the Finance domain. 

• Ensure that all Finance application solutions comply with enterprise IT standards, financial regulatory requirements, audit controls, and governance frameworks, working in close alignment with the Architecture and Finance teams.
