ABOUT THE COMPANY
Calsina Carré is a multinational logistics and transport group headquartered in Pont de Molins (Girona, Spain), with operations across Europe and North Africa. The group operates through multiple legal entities in Spain, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, Morocco, Tunisia, and Romania, covering Road and Multimodal Transport, logistics warehousing, and fuel services.
The Finance Function is undergoing a significant transformation - consolidating as a global organization with centralized Group Finance (HQ), regional teams, and a Shared Services Center. SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud has been implemented as the single financial platform across all entities.
