Job description

As a senior operations staff member in the financial systems department of the HDFC, you will work in a collegial atmosphere on diverse files at the challenging intersection of policy, execution, and IT. In this role, you will be responsible for process descriptions, authorization management, and the provision of SAP accounts.

You will also proactively and reactively support project leaders within the department regarding improvements in the financial basic administration. Additionally, you will provide secretarial support to the finance user group and participate in the authorization management meeting. The change process to further modernize operations is carried out together with the defense components and takes into account operational, exercise, and deployment schedules. One of the improvements concerns better insight into operational readiness and the associated costs. To this end, the required setup for the basic administration will be mapped out step-by-step to gain insight into the costs and the use of weapon systems, IT, and real estate within Defense. This must then also be documented in clear process descriptions to which you will contribute. This will be done in close coordination with the relevant project leader and the Defense Financial Administration and Management Office.

You are proactive and work closely with colleagues from your own department and from other departments within the Directorate-General Finance and Control. You actively maintain your professional contacts within the various components of the Defense organization and also outside of it.
