able to speak to CFO/Controller-level stakeholders.* High integrity, low drama, thick skin.* Skeptical by default — validates everything the partner proposes.* Bias toward action and clear decision-making.* Exceptional communication and documentation discipline.**Success Criteria**The PM is successful if:* Spain goes live on time, in scope, and aligned with global design.* Finance processes work correctly and pass audit scrutiny.* The partner is controlled and held to contract.* Spain operates on the standardized Microsoft Dynamics Business Central model with minimal customization.A clean handover to the permanent staff.**Working at ALS**The ALS team is a diverse and dedicated community united by our passion to make a difference in the world.Our values are important to us, and shape how we work, how we treat each other and how we recognise excellence.At ALS, you’ll be supported to develop new skills and reach your full potential.
