Shared services hub for finance, HR, and procurement across Lufthansa Group
Lufthansa Group Business Services is a captive shared-services organization operating three global delivery centers (Frankfurt, Mexico City, Krakow, Manila) for finance, HR, and procurement functions across the airline group. The tech stack is SAP-native (S/4HANA, ECC, BW, BTP, Integration Suite), with Jira-based test management frameworks and Esker invoice automation now central to operations. Hiring is accelerating across finance and HR (20 roles in 30 days), but the active project list—spanning tax compliance, test standardization, fuel invoice discrepancies, and helpdesk consolidation—reveals an organization in the middle of a process modernization cycle, not purely executing legacy processes.
LGBS provides finance, revenue accounting, human resources, and procurement services to Lufthansa Group airlines and subsidiaries. Founded in 2003 and wholly owned by Lufthansa Group, the organization runs with 1,001–5,000 employees across regional centers in Mexico City (Americas), Krakow (EMEA), and Manila (APAC), alongside headquarters in Frankfurt. The mandate spans operational execution, cost-reduction initiatives through process automation, and compliance support (tax, customs, audit). The business is heavily SAP-dependent and moving incrementally toward cloud infrastructure (SAP BTP, cloud archiving) while managing complex global compliance requirements.
