Global Functional Process Owner Book-to-Report | Asset- & Project Accounting

Welcome

If you’re someone who inspires others, owns their impact and wants to elevate what they do, you’ll fit right in.

Until July 1, our business was part of BASF.

As part of the current transition, all job listings and the application process are still hosted on the BASF platform and therefore fully presented in BASF branding.

Please do not be confused by this: All roles are positions at Surventis, and your application will be submitted to us.

At Surventis, we go beyond the surface – in everything we do.

We put customers at the center, think one step ahead, and develop solutions that create real value and lasting partnerships.

We inspire each other to think further, take ownership of our work, and constantly push to elevate what’s possible.

If you bring your full self, challenge the obvious answer, and want to grow with a team that means it – this is your place.
