About the job
Are you a dynamic team leader who thrives on managing numbers and motivating people? Do you want to build robust financial processes while making a significant impact during a SAP implementation? As a Team Lead at Feenstra, you will oversee two essential teams within Finance Operations. Your mission is to ensure our accounts receivable and accounts payable processes run smoothly, efficiently, and are future-proof.
You will enjoy a high level of responsibility, ample freedom, and work in a fast-paced organization.
This is how you will make a difference!
As a Team Lead, you stand at the intersection of people, processes, and numbers. You begin your day with a brief meeting with your teams to discuss priorities and areas needing extra attention. You quickly identify where energy is high and where adjustments are needed, responding immediately.
You maintain oversight of workload, ensuring that outstanding items do not accumulate unnecessarily and that invoices flow smoothly through the workflow. Not by doing everything yourself, but by empowering your team members. You coach, ask questions, and challenge them to work smarter.
Simultaneously, you look beyond the immediate tasks. Where can the process be more efficient? Which steps can be simplified? How do we ensure that the SAP implementation is not only technically sound but also practical for the team? You regularly communicate with other leaders within Feenstra, who see you as a reliable partner that contributes ideas and takes responsibility. Thanks to your approach, the administrative burden stays low, and we maintain control over our financial flows.
You will lead two teams of 7 colleagues each within Finance Operations, playing a crucial role in our financial processes.
Accounts Receivable: This team focuses on both the business and private sectors. They handle reminders and collections, collaborate with a collection agency, address customer inquiries, and set up payment arrangements. They also conduct credit checks and manage bank guarantees, merging results-oriented and customer-focused approaches.
Accounts Payable: This team processes approximately 250,000 invoices annually, from data entry and coding to guiding invoices through the approval and payment workflow. Here, accuracy, structure, and efficient processes are paramount, especially with the ongoing SAP implementation. Both teams consist of dedicated professionals, and you provide direction, connection, and continuous improvement.
