Job Description

DescriptionPosition at GroupMBackground on the Transformation Centre of Excellence
The EMEA Transformation Centre of Excellence was developed to support all 38 EMEA markets with the roll-out of a standardized operating model built off the back of work that started in the APAC region. This includes the standardisation of applications across the region, through custom built solutions for media, media finance and core finance. The systems are built off standardised processes owned by the Regional Process Owners (RPOs) across four functions, Digital Media, Traditional Media, Media Finance and Core Finance. The people aspects of the transformation are owned by the Business Transformation pillar which looks to develop the overall operating model through development of the organization structure, business case, governance and change management blueprint. The final pillar looks to achieve efficiency through Robotics Process Automation, by leveraging RPA tools to automate manual work.Roles and Responsibilities
