Project Manager - Finance Transformation M - F H/F CMA CGM

YOUR ROLE :

CMA CGM Finance Department is engaged in a major transformation program aimed at strengthening its role as a strategic Business Partner supporting the Group's growth and diversification. This transformation is driven by two core objectives: enhancing operational performance and driving financial performance.

In parallel, CMA CGM has accelerated the diversification of its activities while addressing major digital and environmental challenges. These evolutions create significant opportunities for Finance to reinforce its role as a strategic partner to the business. This ambition is supported by three key enablers: digital capabilities, a transformation-oriented mindset, and a multi-activity vision.

Within this context, the FiPP (Finance Projects & Processes) department was created to support the Finance organization on systems, processes, and organizational transformation topics.
