Jens Reichert

Last position:

Finance Transformation Director at Bauer Media Group

  • After several S/4 go-lives, structure, role clarity, and decision clarity were missing in Finance and IT; governance mechanisms, prioritization logic, and responsibilities were not defined well enough.

  • Unclear interfaces, high coordination effort, and inconsistent ways of working led to organizational instability and limited leadership and steering capability.

  • The existing operating model between Finance, Controlling, and IT was not working, which affected transparency, collaboration, and decision paths.

  • Designed the transformation and organization architecture for Finance and clarified roles, decision paths, and priorities.

  • Diagnosed and structured the Finance and IT organizations (DE/UK/PL), including collaboration, responsibilities, and interfaces.

  • Redesigned the Finance–IT operating model with a focus on governance, steering routines, and cross-functional collaboration.

  • Enabled leaders and teams, especially Global Process Owners, Key Users, and Finance Leads (systemic organizational development / leadership).

  • Steered the transformation portfolio, including clarity on risks, dependencies, and cross-functional decision processes.

  • Restored structural steering capability by clearly defining roles, decision paths, and priorities and anchoring them across the organization.

  • Strengthened governance and cross-functional collaboration in a systemic way - Finance, Controlling, and IT worked again in consistent, aligned structures; friction losses dropped measurably.

  • Harmonized working and communication logic, making coordination faster, more transparent, and less conflict-heavy.

  • Enabled the organization in a sustainable way, including the build-up of a strong Key User / Process Owner community and clearly defined steering routines.

  • Made the transformation structurally manageable - prioritized initiatives, clear risk and progress logic, and consistent decision formats increased execution speed.

About the technology

What SaaS covers

Software as a Service is software delivered online and used through a browser or app. It fits products that need quick access, frequent updates, and shared access across teams or customers.

Common build areas

  • Customer portals and admin dashboards
  • Subscription, billing, and account flows
  • Integrations with CRM, ERP, and identity tools
  • Onboarding, notifications, and self-service features
  • Multi-tenant systems with role-based access

Tooling and stack

Strong specialists around SaaS work with cloud hosting, API design, databases, observability, and CI/CD. They also know common patterns for tenancy, authentication, usage tracking, and release management, often around platforms such as Salesforce, Microsoft 365, or Google Workspace when they are part of the product landscape.

When companies bring in help

Companies usually look for freelance expertise when a product needs to move faster, clean up an aging codebase, or connect many internal systems. SaaS specialists also help during migrations, launches, feature spikes, and security reviews where clear delivery and stable operations matter.

What strong specialists do

A good SaaS professional thinks in product flows, not just features. They keep the user journey simple, design for uptime, and pay attention to support, access control, and maintainability from the start.

Germany context

In Germany, SaaS work often needs smooth collaboration with product, sales, and operations teams across locations. Many projects run partly remote, with German or English used depending on the team, the market, and the customer base.

Frequently asked questions

Everything clients usually want to know about Software as a Service, in one place.

Software as a Service is used for products that people access online instead of installing locally. It covers customer portals, business tools, internal workflows, and subscription services that need central updates and shared access. Companies choose it when they want fast delivery and easy maintenance.

SaaS runs in a provider-managed environment, while on-premise software is installed and maintained inside the company’s own infrastructure. That usually changes how teams handle updates, security, access, and scaling. A strong freelancer can explain the trade-offs clearly and design for the model you actually need.

A strong Software as a Service specialist usually brings API design, cloud operations, authentication, data modeling, and observability. Product thinking matters too, because SaaS often lives or dies by onboarding, billing, and retention flows. Experience with CRM, identity, and analytics tools is also useful.

SaaS projects with subscription logic, multi-tenant access, third-party integrations, or migration risk benefit from experienced help. The same applies when a team must improve release speed without breaking live users. If the product is customer-facing and always on, quality matters early.

Yes, SaaS work is often done remotely, especially for product build, integration work, and platform improvements. In Germany, many teams combine remote delivery with scheduled workshops or occasional on-site sessions. Language expectations depend on the team, but clear written communication is usually essential.

Look for a SaaS professional who has shipped live products and can explain choices around tenancy, access control, monitoring, and failure handling. Good signs are practical delivery examples, clear trade-offs, and a focus on maintainable systems. They should talk about users and operations, not just features.

No, Software as a Service is the delivery model, while Salesforce and Microsoft 365 are specific products built and sold that way. People sometimes search for those names when they actually need help with SaaS architecture, integrations, or operations. A good specialist can work across both the product model and the tools around it.

A Software as a Service project usually involves live users, shared environments, and fast feedback from product or support teams. Freelancers should be comfortable with changing priorities, release discipline, and working across business and technical stakeholders. Strong communication matters as much as implementation skill.
