Responsibilities

• The Control Tower Specialist is responsible for executing and monitoring key controls across BAS processes. This includes validating vendor bank details to prevent fraud, overseeing the accuracy of share-based payment transactions, and ensuring proper documentation of these activities. The role also reviews compliance within the Source-to-Pay process, verifying that procedures and golden rules are followed—such as ensuring contract signatories hold the appropriate power of attorney, contracts are stored in the dedicated database, and purchase orders are properly structured and placed under the correct entity.
• In addition, the Control Tower Specialist prepares and coordinates SBM's internal control campaigns, including Source-to-Contract (ICoSCM), Purchase-to-Pay (ICoFR), and GHG emissions reporting (ICoESG).
