Schneider Group

I joined SCHNEIDER GROUP as an accountant back in 2005. I simply saw an ad in a newspaper and wanted to work for an international company. At SCHNEIDER GROUP I have moved up through all the stages of a professional career for an accountant and became Partner for accounting and financial management services in April 2019. My career constantly brings new challenges: since accounting and IT are inseparable now, I had to gain new knowledge in the automation of accounting, and further of production, planning, logistics and purchasing processes. We provide our services to international companies, working in Russia, and that means I had to learn also about global automation solutions, such as Oracle and SAP. In 2020, implementation of IT solutions for SCHNEIDER GROUP customers was added to my area of responsibility. Currently I’m leading two service lines: accounting and IT, with more than 40 colleagues in my team. Looking back, I understand that even the most complex projects are not the most difficult part of the job. Finding strength and believe in myself has been the most challenging thing for me over the past years. To anyone who wants to try themselves in international consulting, I would recommend taking full responsibility for all the decisions they make and building strong relationships within the team, because this is the only way to solve issues that seem to have no solution.

“After working for large Russian companies, such as Gazprom Neft, MegaFon, and URBAN GROUP I wanted to further professionally develop in an international environment. SCHNEIDER GROUP met my expectations in every way. I started here as business analyst in 2015 and was involved in projects for implementation and support of business applications for the customers from wholesale and retail industries, and their integration with SAP and Oracle ERP systems. Two years later, as senior business analyst, I managed complex projects on transition to online cash registers according to Russian federal law FZ-54, end-to-end digital marking of consumer goods, and EDI solutions implementation into supply chains. In 2019, I managed the internal project for implementation of the electronic document interchange solution “Diadok” at SCHNEIDER GROUP. In my current role I’m responsible for complex integration projects: I supervise projects on mandatory digital marking of consumer goods for manufacturers and exporters, integration of ERP systems with Russian leading marketplaces (Lamoda, OZON, Wildberries, etc.), and EDI implementation. The IT environment is changing drastically and fast and one has to be open to these changes to succeed. My message to new colleagues is always to learn, stay on track, and remain a highly demanded professional. And the company I work for always gives me the chance for both professional and personal growth, as well as the possibility to show what I’m worth.”

"I joined SCHNEIDER GROUP as accounting assistant during my studies in 2007. Combining evening work and study was not easy, but it was definitely worth it: by the time of my graduation I had not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical experience. And I was already promoted for the first time. I had the opportunity to work on a project of accounting records restoration and tax recalculation, it was challenging, but a great way to progress at my job. After we completed the restoration of the financial records, the customer decided to stay with us for complete accounting support. Soon the customer opened a new legal entity. I was responsible for accounting and tax reporting for it and my professional knowledge grew with the customer’s business growth. It was a great way for me to learn to handle a large-scale project completely on my own, to build a project team, and to show the results. My devotion was noticed by the company management and in 2012 I got promoted to accounting project lead. Now, I am finance & accounting director at SCHNEIDER GROUP. I think that for a successful career you should really want to become a professional, be ready to take on new, challenging tasks, admit own responsibility for the project and contribute to the joint result."

“I began working at SCHNEIDER GROUP as an intern in the business development department under the DAAD trainee programme in 2017. Most of the time I was preparing contracts and assisting colleagues. After six months, I was permanently employed as junior project manager. SCHNEIDER GROUP gave me the opportunity to take on a lot of responsibility, as well as develop myself and evolve as a team member. Gradually I transited from pure contractual tasks to full-time business development and started to manage client projects independently. Two years later, I was promoted to team lead business development, supervising the team responsible for processing of incoming requests and in 2022 became head of business development.”

"Already at the start of my career with SCHNEIDER GROUP in 2017, I knew it was going to be challenging. Now, five years after, I can only confirm that all these years have been incredibly busy.  Having previously worked for such giants as TransAero, Sportmaster, and Rosavtodor, I felt I could do more and wanted to develop in a more dynamic environment. SCHNEIDER GROUP is a perfect match for such expectations - an international company, where no talent, skill or ability is left unattended. In the course of my five years, I have worked my way up from payroll accountant to payroll project lead.  During this time, I have managed to develop skills in streamlining work processes, training junior colleagues and communicating effectively. I would like to share whatever small but very important secrets of success: everything should have an order and a system, this will allow you to perform faster; if you do a little bit more than expected, you will be able to advance further than others; and most importantly - your talent should be cultivated.  Find a special use for it."
