P2P Finance Specialist
Location: Amsterdam
Fulltime | Hybrid | 3 days in the office
In this role you will join our Group Financial Reporting team, which provides controllership activities to legal entities across the Netherlands, Belgium and the United Kingdom. We're standardising how we support those entities — same processes, same reporting, done well — with collaboration and continuous improvement at the centre of it. The team is based in Poland; this role focuses on the Dutch entity and you will be based in Amsterdam.
Acerta Pharma, part of the AstraZeneca Group, is planning to relocate its offices from Oss to Amsterdam in early 2027. Until the relocation, you will work from our current Oss office one day per week, with the remaining office-based days in Amsterdam. Once the relocation is complete, your office-based work will be fully based in Amsterdam.
This is a hands-on position with defined responsibility rather than a strategic or oversight role. It offers a structured environment, close collaboration with an established team, and a clear route to broader responsibility over time.
What does a typical week look like?
Business user support. Approximately half of the role is spent working directly with our scientists and other business users, supporting transactional activity across the Procure-to-Pay cycle. This includes reviewing purchase requisitions, preparing and creating purchase orders in Coupa, monitoring approval workflows, and confirming that goods and services have been received and recorded correctly.
Finance and accounting. The remaining half is the finance work behind the transaction: reviewing accounting information in SAP for procurement and invoice transactions, resolving matching exceptions, and ensuring that transactions are correctly coded, posted and controlled.
You hold day-to-day ownership of your area. Purchasing, invoicing, accounting and supplier-related processes must be completed accurately, efficiently and in accordance with company policy and financial controls. Certain elements of the global process are managed by colleagues elsewhere in the organisation, and the role is not therefore a fully end-to-end process. .

About AstraZeneca Oncology R&D, Amsterdam
At AstraZeneca Amsterdam, we bring together two research groups, in haemato-oncology and next-generation cell therapy research. Together, they form our Oncology R&D hub in the Netherlands, working closely with colleagues in the US, Canada, Spain and the UK, to develop innovative treatments for patients with cancer.
Our haematology R&D group was born as Acerta Pharma, one of the Netherlands’ greatest biotech success stories. Its small-molecule BTK inhibitor has been approved by both the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL). In Amsterdam approximately 100 colleagues continue the development of new therapies for haematological malignancies under the AstraZeneca brand name.
AstraZeneca’s Cell Therapy R&D team focuses on developing next-generation T-cell receptor (TCR) therapies targeting neoantigens in solid tumors. With a team of around 75 scientists, we work on both fully individualized and shared neo-antigen approaches, with the aim of improving outcomes for patients with cancer.
Our oncology research and development hub is anchored by our new state-of-the-art laboratories in OneHelix and the adjacent Plus Ultra Amsterdam building, both located on the Amsterdam University Medical Centre (Amsterdam UMC) campus. Our hub is firmly positioned at the heart of the Dutch research community network, creating new opportunities for our people, our science, and the patients we work to transform outcomes for.
