collections specialist (german speaker) 11405

In 2019, we established our first Shared Service Center (SSC) in Greece, with the goal of streamlining and optimizing financial operations for our entities across Europe. Today, the SSC plays a key role in our financial operations and has been recognized as a Great Place to Work, reflecting our commitment to quality, employee support, and a positive work environment.

As part of our ongoing growth, Imerys is redesigning its Credit Management structure, focusing on harmonizing and standardizing processes, while adapting credit policies across Europe.
