Your daily tasks
You will be the first point of contact for questions about Action’s financial applications and processes. You understand applications and how they are used in our business. This makes you the ideal financial support specialist for applications such as ECC, VIM, Ariba and Concur.

For example, our Finance department is currently working on a big Source to Pay project, in which the Finance Application Support Specialist plays a crucial role.
Teamwork is also high on your agenda. You will coordinate priorities with your team and other stakeholders. If you notice conflicting priorities, you come up with an alternative everyone can support. You also keep an eye out for opportunities to improve our applications and processes.
Additionally:
- You will collaborate closely with various Finance department colleagues, giving you the opportunity to learn a lot from these specialists
-
You will be a permanent sparring partner for the business with a view to offering even more added value
