Job Description :

Global Diageo Business Services (GDBS) is a global, multi-functional shared services organisation supporting Diageo markets across key end-to-end processes, including Order to Cash, Source to Pay and Record to Report.

Within Order to Cash (OTC), Order Management and Customer Service play a critical role in ensuring customer demand is accurately captured, orders are efficiently processed and released, supply and delivery risks are proactively managed, and customers receive timely and accurate communication.

The Senior Analyst – Order Management & Customer Service is responsible for supporting the end-to-end customer order journey, from order receipt and validation through fulfilment, delivery and query resolution.

The role operates in a complex, fast-paced and matrix environment and requires close collaboration with Customers, Sales, Customer Collaboration, Supply Planning, Logistics, Warehousing/3PL, Finance and other GDBS teams.

The role is expected to move beyond transactional processing by proactively identifying risks, resolving exceptions, improving customer experience and contributing to simplification, standardisation and automation of Order Management and Customer Service processes.

Purpose of Role

• Identify opportunities to simplify, standardise and automate processes.
• Maintain strong process controls and ensure compliance with relevant policies and procedures.
• Support cross-skilling across Order Management and Customer Service to build a flexible and resilient operating model.
