at Prologis Management

🏢 About Prologis Management

Their focus on integrating emerging technologies into traditional industries makes them an exciting workplace for professionals who want to apply automation to real-world business challenges. Working here means contributing to both operational efficiency and environmental responsibility in a sector critical to global commerce.

About This Role

This Accounting Process Automation Engineer role involves designing and implementing automation solutions specifically for financial applications at Prologis, bridging accounting expertise with technical development. You'll be responsible for the full automation lifecycle—from process discovery using BPMN 2.0 to deploying AI agents within financial systems—directly impacting how accounting operations scale and evolve. This position is impactful because it sits at the intersection of accounting, technology, and business transformation within a global logistics leader.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve collaborating with accounting teams to map a month-end closing process using BPMN 2.0, then developing Python scripts to automate data extraction from financial systems. You could spend the afternoon reviewing automation code with developers, configuring an AI agent within a financial application, and meeting with stakeholders to identify new automation opportunities that support Prologis's sustainability goals.

🎯 Who Prologis Management Is Looking For

  • Is proficient with BPMN 2.0 process modeling and understands how to document controls and handoffs in financial workflows
  • Demonstrates experience working with financial applications and configuring automation within them, not just standalone tools

📝 Tips for Applying to Prologis Management

1

Highlight specific accounting processes you've automated (e.g., accounts payable reconciliation, month-end close automation) rather than just listing tools

2

Mention experience with financial applications integration—even if you haven't used Prologis's specific systems, describe how you've automated within platforms like SAP, Oracle, or similar

3

Include BPMN 2.0 specifically in your resume if you have experience with it, as it's explicitly mentioned in the job description

4

Show how you've measured automation effectiveness in past roles (ROI, error reduction, time savings) since the role mentions measuring value

5

Connect your experience to sustainability or supply chain contexts if possible, given Prologis's focus areas

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your specific experience automating accounting/finance processes and the business impact achieved', "How you've collaborated with both technical teams and accounting stakeholders in past automation projects", 'Your approach to process documentation and controls within financial automation (mention BPMN 2.0 if applicable)', "Why you're interested in applying automation within the logistics real estate/sustainability context specifically"]
