About Us
Original Composites and Fibers is a global leader in glass reinforcement solutions for the composites industry. Recently separated from Owens Corning, the business now operates independently under the Praana ownership model, continuing a strong legacy of innovation, manufacturing excellence, and customer partnership.
With more than 4,000 employees worldwide, we are committed to redefining what's possible through a performance-driven culture centered on safety, quality, sustainability, inclusiveness, and employee development. Guided by our values of passion, ownership, and team spirit, we work together to deliver innovative solutions and exceptional service across the globe.
About the Role
We are seeking a highly skilled and strategic Information Technology (IT) SAP Finance (FICO) Professional with strong expertise in SAP S/4HANA Finance, Controlling (FICO), Treasury, Asset Accounting, and Financial Reporting within an SAP S/4HANA RISE Cloud Private Edition environment. This role will serve as both a functional solution expert and hands-on consultant, responsible for providing IT finance expertise and guidance in the design, configuration, integration, deployment, and sustainment of global financial management capabilities.
The ideal candidate combines deep expertise in SAP financial technologies with strong business process knowledge and the ability to guide business stakeholders, implementation partners, and technical teams toward scalable, fit-to-standard, future-ready SAP solutions. This role will help establish consistent global processes across Record-to-Report (R2R), Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A), Cost and Profitability Management, Treasury, Fixed Assets, Intercompany Accounting, Financial Close, and Regulatory Reporting.
Original Composites & Fiberglass is a business unit of the Praana Group. Original Composites & Fiberglass was recently acquired by the Praana Group. The path ahead will be dynamic, full of change, and expected to be fast paced. The business operates from twenty (20+) locations across the globe. The information technology environment supporting our new company is being built from the ground up in terms of IT infrastructure and applications with the opportunity to leverage new technologies and new ways of thinking as we look to end a transition services agreement associated with the acquisition as soon as possible. Our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) landscape is comprised of multiple instances across the globe. We seek to consolidate and simplify our ERP landscape to drive efficiency and effectiveness in our operations for decades ahead.
All IT team members may be assigned IT Engineering responsibilities, focused on designing, building, and maintaining technology systems that support business operations. These assignments ensure secure connectivity, scalable platforms, and reliable data flow to enable efficient financial operations and enterprise-wide digital transformation, especially during the separation from Owens Corning. Roles may be temporary or ongoing and can include direct ownership of IT service delivery.
