Finance Manager MPO

bpostgroup strives to create an inclusive environment with challenging projects and inspiring collaborations. With our employees at the heart of our organization, we don’t believe in jobs, we believe in careers. We're now looking for a Finance Manager who will make us move.

The Finance Manager MPO is the ultimate responsible FP&A for the operational department (Mail & Parcels Operations – MPO) and can rely on a team of 4 employees who monitor payroll, fleet, SG&A, ongoing operations, and projects.

MPO is the main operational cost center of bpost group, with over 20,000 employees, 10,000 vans, and €60 million in capital expenditure. MPO itself is part of the new BeNe Last Mile division, which remains the key pillar within the bpost Group.

This unit will undergo a significant transformation in the coming years, supporting high-quality development of parcels and new solutions, while at the same time achieving important cost efficiencies. In the role of Finance Business Partner for the MPO manager, the biggest challenge for the Finance Manager in the coming years will be to proactively manage this transformation, including working with stakeholders at the senior management level.

Your mission:

In addition, the Finance Manager is responsible for:

Critically and accurately preparing rolling forecasts, bottom-up budgets, and Long-Term Plans, while guiding the team, the business, and other departments.

Creating added value for the team, including by further automating closing/reporting activities (RPA, PowerBI…).
Extensive partnering with other departments within Finance (AP, ordering & accounting), MPO (manager and N-x), and beyond (Real Estate, HR, Procurement, Project Management Office…).

Your profile:

We do not only deliver letters and parcels, but also opportunities. This job is open to all with diverse backgrounds and talents, possessing the following skills:

The ideal Finance Manager has at least 8 years of experience, can handle complexity well, and prioritizes facts and figures. Previous experience in logistics or a people-driven business is definitely an asset.
