• In all countries where the Eurofins Group has a significant presence, country-level support services are pooled into a National Service Centre (NSC), in order to be more efficient and effective, and to drive the adequate level of compliance and control.

More specifically, the Finance Director is responsible for:

In particular, partnering with divisional business leaders and supporting decision-making processes, while ensuring financial discipline across the different business lines (cash flow generation, cost management, ad hoc support);
• Acting as the countries’ custodian of Eurofins’ compliance and control framework;
• Driving and communicating on the performance of the NSC through measurements, KPIs, actions plans, etc.;
• Acting as a recognised leader and managing performance of the NSC teams, processes and activities (reliable, effective, efficient), including the development of strong teams;
• Further improving and coordinating collaboration with the SSC in Poland for transactional activities;
• Driving the implementation of standard processes and systems, in close collaboration and alignment with the Business and Group Finance functions;
• Being a proactive leader to set up and drive integration plans in the NSC for newly acquired companies.
