Professional Areas: Strategic Planning & Development
Louis Dreyfus Company is a leading merchant and processor of agricultural goods. Our activities span the entire value chain from farm to fork, and we serve our customers and consumers around the world. Structured as a matrix organization of six geographical regions and ten platforms, LDC operates in over 100 countries and employs approximately 18,000 people globally.
Main Responsibilities
As LDC continues to grow, to standardise operating processes and to modernise its systems front‑to‑back—implementing a proprietary CTRM integrated with SAP S4 HANA as the main back‑office system—we are looking for a Global Business Process Owner for End‑to‑End Request‑to‑Pay (R2P) processes.
Starting from the existing core model framework, the GPO R2P is responsible for designing, implementing, owning and continually improving the end‑to‑end R2P process across functional areas, geographies and business boundaries within the SBS organisation. The GPO will partner closely with key stakeholders across the supported corporate functions (Industry, Procurement and Finance) as well as within the SBS organisation (Master Data, continuous improvement, service operations across centres, etc.).
The aim of the role is to drive the design, implementation, integration and optimisation across the end‑to‑end value chain (master data; purchase requisitions, purchase orders, goods receipts, invoice capture, invoice processing, invoice settlement, resolution of global R2P processes, etc.), so as to provide services to circa 260 industrial plants worldwide.
The GPO R2P ensures alignment with business goals, manages risks, and leads process transformation initiatives.
In this role you will be responsible for:
Process design and implementation: translate functional strategy and policies into global processes and lead the transformation.
Performance management: define performance KPIs and targets in collaboration with functions to measure process performance.
Governance: govern the process end‑to‑end (As‑Is, To‑Be, and all variations), ensuring design decisions are aligned to the process objectives and functional strategy.
Leadership and directions: lead a team of process owners responsible for the design, implementation and optimisation of the global R2P process and influence the organisation through mentoring and change‑management capabilities.
Stakeholder management: drive stakeholder engagement and satisfaction through identifying value‑add and continuous improvement opportunities aligned with stakeholders’ challenges and priorities.
Problem‑solving / operational issues: work closely with other functions (e.g. Accounting, Procurement, Finance, Platforms, etc.) to proactively manage and resolve business and operational issues in an innovative, efficient and effective manner.
Business relationship management and change‑management: partner with the Head of Procurement, the Head of Accounting and the head of Industry to align on improvements to the Request‑to‑Pay service levels.
Technology enablement: act as a forward thinker, collaborate with the functions and DT&A (IT) to propose enabling solutions and business cases for budget prioritisation.
The ideal candidate will have 10+ years’ experience in Business R2P with at least 2 years of experience in project management in a global enterprise environment.
