Dear financial accountants, HR managers, customer service representatives and colleagues, Berlin’s shared service centres (SCC) mainly have jobs in the finance and service sector. These are separate from the various business units of Berlin’s companies and are amalgamated in a financially independent framework.
In Berlin, around 48,000 colleagues work in one of the many shared service centres. Large companies such as Axel Springer and Coca-Cola, for example, have transferred their accounting and/or HR and some of their IT to an SSC. The travel portal, Opodo , handles its ordering and accounting for German-speaking markets via an SCC. And firms such as BASF, Parexel and Schindler Elevators have also established shared service centres in the capital. They are all potential employers, offering jobs in customer care, accounting, procurement, HR, IT and sales.
