5What you get to decide, and how that grows

The choice	Coming in	Where you are now	The step above
Global O2C Strategy & Policy	Follows established policies; escalates any deviations.	Proposes minor policy adjustments for specific portfolio segments; consults manager.	Designs and implements new regional O2C policies; recommends changes to global policy to leadership.

Organisational Design & Talent	Focuses on personal development and learning.	Provides informal guidance to new joiners.	Mentors 0-2 junior team members; provides input on hiring decisions.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Enterprise DSO (Days Sales Outstanding)

The average number of days it takes for the company to collect revenue after a sale. This is the ultimate measure of our O2C efficiency and working capital management.

Target · Reduce consolidated DSO by 5-10 days year-on-year, aiming for <40 days.

If our current DSO is 50 days, your target might be to bring it down to 45 days within the first 12 months, which could free up £20M in working capital for re-investment.

Working Capital Improvement

The net increase in cash flow or reduction in capital tied up in accounts receivable due to strategic O2C initiatives.

Target · Generate £10M-£20M+ in annual working capital improvements.

Implementing a new global credit policy and AR automation system that reduces overdue invoices, directly contributing £15M in available cash.

Bad Debt Expense as % of Revenue

The portion of revenue written off as uncollectible, reflecting the effectiveness of credit risk management and collections.

Target · Maintain bad debt expense below 0.1% of total revenue.

If our revenue is £1B, ensuring bad debt is kept under £1M through robust credit and collections strategies.

Cash Flow Forecast Accuracy

How accurately we predict incoming cash from O2C activities, crucial for Treasury and investment planning.

Target · Achieve >95% accuracy on 90-day cash flow forecasts.

If the forecast predicted £100M in cash receipts for Q3, and actuals came in at £96M, that's a 4% variance, which needs to be improved.

Shared Services Cost Efficiency

The cost per transaction or per employee within the global business services function, demonstrating operational leverage.

Target · Reduce cost per O2C transaction by 10-15% through automation and process optimisation.

By centralising operations and implementing AI, you might reduce the cost to process an invoice from £5 to £4.25, saving millions across the enterprise.

Board & Investor Confidence

The level of trust and confidence the Board, CEO, and external investors have in the company's financial operations and cash management strategy. This isn't just about numbers; it's about how you communicate them.

Regularly invited to Board meetings to present on financial operations
positive feedback from investor calls regarding O2C transparency and strategy
proactive communication on potential risks and mitigation plans
a reputation for clear, concise, and honest reporting.

Global Compliance & Risk Mitigation

Ensuring the entire O2C ecosystem operates within all relevant legal, regulatory, and internal policy frameworks, minimising financial and reputational risk.

Zero material audit findings related to O2C processes
successful navigation of new regulatory requirements (e.g., data privacy, payment regulations)
robust internal controls and fraud prevention measures in place
proactive identification and resolution of potential compliance gaps.

Organisational Talent & Capability

Building and developing a high-performing global team capable of executing strategic objectives and adapting to future challenges. It's about having the right people in the right places.

High retention rates for key talent within your organisation
strong internal promotion pipeline
positive feedback from employee engagement surveys
successful recruitment of top-tier talent
a culture of continuous learning and development.

Cross-Functional Strategic Partnership

The effectiveness of your collaboration with other executive leaders (Sales, Legal, Product, Treasury) to drive integrated business outcomes, not just O2C specific ones.

Proactive involvement in strategic business planning sessions beyond finance
joint initiatives with Sales to improve contract terms or pricing structures
seamless integration of O2C processes into new product launches
being seen as a 'go-to' partner for complex business challenges.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Shaping the Company's Financial Destiny

You'll spend your days in strategic discussions about where the company is headed, how our cash flow can fuel that growth, and what financial infrastructure we need to build to get there. It's about influencing the big decisions.

Leading the initiative to centralise all global O2C operations into a single shared service centre, forecasting its multi-year impact on working capital and presenting it to the Board.

Driving Large-Scale Organisational Transformation

You'll be leading multi-year programmes to re-engineer global processes, implement new enterprise systems, and build high-performing teams across different cultures and geographies. It's about making a lasting, fundamental change.

Overseeing the full implementation of a new global ERP and AR automation platform, ensuring seamless integration and adoption across all business units worldwide.

Building & Mentoring High-Performing Executive Teams

A significant part of your role will be identifying, hiring, developing, and mentoring your direct reports and their leadership teams. You'll be a coach, a sponsor, and a strategic sounding board for future leaders.

Developing a leadership development programme for your senior managers, resulting in 75% internal promotions to Director-level roles within 3 years.

What frustrates people

The inertia of a large organisation – getting hundreds or thousands of people to change how they work is a monumental task.
Conflicting demands from different regional leaders or business unit heads, all vying for resources and attention.
Navigating complex global regulatory environments where what works in one country is illegal in another.
The constant pressure to deliver more with less, especially when it comes to technology investments.
Having to make unpopular decisions that are right for the business but might upset certain stakeholders (e.g., tightening credit terms).

What this role does not give you

A quiet, solitary work environment – this is a highly visible, highly collaborative role.
The ability to avoid difficult conversations or political challenges – they're part of the job.
A quick, easy win – all significant changes at this level are complex and long-term.
Freedom from scrutiny – every major decision will be reviewed by the CEO, Board, and investors.

8Who you work with

This role has a direct, enterprise-wide impact on the company's financial stability, profitability, and operational efficiency. You'll be accountable for optimising working capital, reducing financial risk, ensuring global compliance, and building a scalable, resilient financial operations infrastructure that supports multi-year growth strategies. Your decisions will directly influence our balance sheet, cash flow statements, and ultimately, our valuation.

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Blockchain & Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) in Finance

While still nascent, blockchain and DLT have the potential to revolutionise inter-company transactions, supply chain finance, and cross-border payments by increasing transparency, security, and efficiency. As a VP, you need to understand its strategic implications for our O2C processes and potential competitive advantages.

Smart Contracts for Automated Payments · Tokenisation of Assets & Receivables · Permissioned Blockchains for Supply Chain Finance · Cryptocurrency & Digital Currency Impact

This quarter: Commission a white paper or internal study on the strategic relevance of DLT for our industry and O2C.
Next 6 months: Engage with fintech startups and industry consortia exploring DLT applications in finance.
Next 12 months: Identify a small-scale pilot project for DLT within a specific O2C process (e.g., intercompany reconciliation).
Ongoing: Stay informed on regulatory developments around digital assets and central bank digital currencies.

Quick win: Start by understanding the basics of blockchain technology and its current applications in finance. It's a foundational knowledge that will become increasingly important.

Cloud-Native Financial Architecture & Data Lakes

Moving financial systems and data to the cloud isn't just about cost savings; it's about agility, scalability, and the ability to integrate advanced analytics and AI seamlessly. As a VP, you'll need to drive the strategy for building a robust, secure, and future-proof cloud-native financial architecture.

Microservices Architecture for ERP · Data Lakehouse Strategy for Finance · Cybersecurity & Data Governance in the Cloud · API-First Integration Strategy

This quarter: Work with your CIO/CTO to understand the company's overall cloud strategy and how finance fits in.
Next 6 months: Develop a multi-year roadmap for migrating key O2C systems and data to a cloud-native architecture.
Next 12 months: Lead the selection of strategic cloud partners and oversee the initial phases of migration for critical financial datasets.
Ongoing: Regularly review cloud security best practices and ensure your teams are trained on new cloud technologies.

Quick win: Ensure your current financial reporting and analytics tools are already cloud-based. If not, push for that transition immediately to gain agility.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly attend executive-level finance conferences (e.g., CFO Summit, Shared Services & Outsourcing Week) to stay abreast of industry trends and network with peers.
Participate in executive leadership programmes at top business schools, focusing on global strategy, organisational change, and digital transformation.
Engage with industry thought leaders and consultants on emerging technologies (AI, Blockchain) and their application in finance.

What's rising in its place

This is where the work is heading, and the higher pay with it. Get fluent here and the shift stops being a threat and starts being your edge.

AI-Driven Predictive & Prescriptive Analytics

The shift from descriptive ('what happened') to predictive ('what will happen') and prescriptive ('what should we do') analytics is critical. AI is moving beyond simple automation to genuine strategic insight, allowing for real-time risk mitigation and cash flow optimisation. Executives who can harness this will have a massive competitive edge.

Reinforcement Learning for Optimisation
Explainable AI (XAI) in Finance
Generative AI for Financial Narrative

ESG Reporting & Sustainable Finance Integration

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors are no longer 'nice-to-haves' but critical drivers of investor decisions, regulatory scrutiny, and corporate reputation. Integrating ESG metrics into financial reporting and O2C processes (e.g., supplier payment terms, ethical sourcing impact on cash flow) will become paramount for executive leaders.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, at the C-suite level, your time is your most valuable asset. Every hour spent on routine oversight or sifting through reports is an hour not spent on critical strategic thinking, investor relations, or major transformation. AI isn't just about saving your team time; it's about giving you back the bandwidth to truly lead.

Imagine a world where your global O2C operations are largely self-optimising, where financial risks are flagged before they become crises, and where every board report is generated with a few clicks. AI is making this a reality. For a VP of Global Business Services, this means shifting your focus from 'what happened' to 'what's next' and 'how do we get there'.

AI-Driven Strategic Forecasting

Advanced AI models analyse vast datasets (economic indicators, sales pipelines, historical payment patterns) to provide highly accurate, real-time cash flow forecasts. This isn't just about predicting; it's about scenario planning and understanding the 'what ifs' at an enterprise level, giving you unparalleled insight for Board discussions and investment decisions.

Enterprise Risk Modelling & Early Warning

AI continuously monitors global credit markets, customer financial health, and geopolitical events, flagging potential bad debt risks or supply chain disruptions before they impact your balance sheet. You'll get proactive alerts on emerging risks, allowing for strategic mitigation planning rather than reactive damage control.

Global Compliance & Audit Automation

AI tools automate the monitoring of regulatory changes across jurisdictions, ensuring our O2C processes remain compliant. It can also pre-audit transactions and identify anomalies, drastically reducing the time and cost of external audits and bolstering internal controls. Think of it as a tireless, hyper-vigilant compliance officer.

Board-Ready Report Generation

Instead of spending hours consolidating data and crafting narratives, AI can generate comprehensive, insights-driven board reports, investor briefings, and executive summaries in minutes. You'll simply review, refine, and add your strategic commentary, freeing up significant time for deeper analysis and stakeholder engagement.
