DEUTZ is a 160-year-old public machinery manufacturer (5,001–10,000 employees) headquartered in Cologne, Germany, currently in the midst of a dual modernization: migrating core financials and HR to SAP S/4HANA and SuccessFactors while executing supply-chain and production-optimization initiatives. The hiring profile skews heavily toward interns and engineering roles, paired with active transformation projects in accounting standards compliance and procurement — a pattern typical of large manufacturers mid-cycle in legacy system replacement.
Notable leadership hires: Head of Group Financial Statements, Security Lead
