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
SaaS Basics
Software as a Service, often called SaaS, is software delivered over the internet and used through a browser or app. Companies rely on it for tools that need quick access, regular updates, and shared use across teams or customers.
What It Covers
- Multi-tenant product design
- Subscription and billing flows
- Login, roles, and access control
- Release, monitoring, and support work
- Onboarding and retention features
Strong specialists understand both product needs and operating needs. They shape features that are easy to adopt and also stable enough to run as a recurring service.
Common Stacks
A SaaS setup often includes cloud hosting, API layers, databases, payment services, identity tools, analytics, and support tooling. Many projects also use CRM, email automation, logging, and feature flags to keep the service easy to manage.
Strong professionals know how these parts fit together. They can spot weak points in the flow from signup to usage, and from usage to renewal.
When To Bring In Help
Companies often look for freelance expertise when a SaaS product needs a new module, a redesign of billing or permissions, or a move to a more scalable architecture. This is also common during launches, migrations, and periods of rapid change.
In Munich, this work often touches B2B software, industrial tools, and internal business systems. Many teams want specialists who can work in English and fit into German-speaking product or engineering groups when needed.
What Good Experts Do
Good SaaS specialists focus on reliable delivery, clean product logic, and low-friction user journeys. They think about trial, signup, activation, renewals, support cases, and the daily tasks that keep a service healthy.
They also write clear handover notes and collaborate well with product, design, operations, and security people. That matters when a service must keep changing without breaking trust.
Quality Signals
- Clear understanding of subscriptions and entitlements
- Experience with APIs and cloud operations
- Careful handling of roles, data, and access
- Practical work on onboarding and retention
- Strong communication with business teams
Look for specialists who can explain trade-offs in plain language. The best ones do more than ship features; they help the service stay usable, secure, and easy to maintain.
Frequently asked questions
Before you brief your next project: the most common questions about Software as a Service.
Software as a Service is used to deliver business software through the web instead of installing it on each device. Companies use it for CRM, project tools, finance workflows, support systems, and internal products that need shared access. The main benefit is simple access with centralized updates and control.
SaaS is usually built for recurring use, continuous updates, and cloud delivery, while on-premise software is installed and managed inside a company’s own environment. A one-time license often shifts more maintenance work to the buyer, while SaaS keeps upgrades, security patches, and uptime within the service model. That changes both the product design and the operating setup.
A strong Software as a Service freelancer usually brings API design, cloud infrastructure, identity and access management, billing logic, analytics, and support workflow experience. Product sense matters too, because subscription software depends on activation, retention, and low-friction user journeys. Security and data handling are also important in most SaaS projects.
You do not need a huge project to benefit from Software as a Service expertise. A freelancer can help early with product structure, or later with billing, scaling, migrations, and service hardening. The key is to bring in someone who has seen the same kind of problem before.
Most SaaS work can be done remotely because the product, tooling, and communication all live online. In Munich, on-site time can help when a team wants closer workshop work, stakeholder alignment, or access to sensitive systems. Many companies combine both depending on the phase of the project.
Software as a Service is a delivery model: the customer uses software over the internet, usually by subscription. Cloud software is broader and can also include hosted tools, internal services, or infrastructure products that are not sold as SaaS. So every SaaS product is cloud-based, but not every cloud product is SaaS.
A good SaaS specialist explains how the product makes money, how users join and stay, and how the service stays stable over time. They should show clear work on release handling, access control, monitoring, and billing or entitlement flows. Good answers are practical and specific, not vague.
Freelancers working with Software as a Service should be ready to think beyond code. They need to understand user onboarding, subscription changes, support issues, and the impact of every release on active customers. Clear documentation and good communication are just as important as technical skill.
