PWC SDC announced multiple hires for German-speaking accountants, covering bookkeeping, tax/customs records, fixed assets, payroll entries and bank transactions.

While PWC's SDC is primarily based in Katowice, Opole has carved out a niche with its strong German-speaking talent pool.

Rolls-Royce is recruiting 3 Project Managers whose remit is explicitly to lead transition workstreams “from mobilisation through delivery, stabilisation and handover.”

As expected, RR functions are now being migrated into the Kraków Global Capability Centre.
Rolls-Royce is clearly designing its new GCC around multiple end-to-end global processes, not one finance tower, as the following active hires show:

• Source-to-Pay;
  
• Order-to-Cash;
• Hire-to-Retire;
• enterprise-wide operational support.
  

Ocado Bulgaria is building out its Treasury operations in Sofia, Bulgaria.

The Bulgarian organisation already has a sizeable technology presence; yet its expansion of treasury back-office work is a sign that the Bulgarian operation is expanding beyond engineering into corporate finance processes - and migrating more corporate finance work into Bulgaria.

One of the largest transactions in August was Visa Europe's new 17,300 sqm lease at The Bridge in Warsaw.

As previously announced by EBSA, Louis Dreyfus is setting up GBS in Budapest.

It is now adding Business Services leadership in Budapest.

LDC posted a Business Administration Lead – Business Services in Budapest in late August.

This leadership-level Business Services hire is noteworthy because it suggests additional process ownership within LDC's Budapest services organisation.

And in Bulgaria: LDC Services Bulgaria advertised a Coffee FP&A Analyst; and also recruiting a Total Rewards Specialist. Sofia is supporting both finance planning/analysis and corporate HR services rather than simply transactional finance.

Reckitt is hiring for its OTC Trade services, in a push to expand its Warsaw GBS.

It is particularly hiring German, Czech, German, Turkish and, most recently, an OTC AR Analyst with Romanian.

Romania-based dvloper.io, a company specialising in infrastructure, software development, data, security and automation, has invested over €500,000 in AI, research and development, and in creating a technological framework for companies wishing to move from pilot projects and experiments with artificial intelligence to the implementation of AI solutions in their business processes. The model, known as AI Factory, aims to standardise recurring components and processes in artificial intelligence projects and enable their reuse in new projects.

The company estimates that, this year, projects involving the development and implementation of AI solutions for clients will generate revenue of approximately 1.7 million euros. At the same time, artificial intelligence is already integrated into dvloper.io’s operational model, and 95 per cent of the company’s development and implementation processes are carried out using AI.

AI Factory is a technological and operational framework comprising architectures, reusable components, processes and know-how, and was launched on the basis of experience gained from projects in fields such as software development, infrastructure, data, security, automation and AI. With the launch of AI Factory, the company is targeting, in particular, organisations that have identified opportunities to use AI but do not yet have a clear architecture and process for transforming these opportunities into functional solutions in production.

Many companies want to adopt AI, but the question remains: where do we start, and how do we move from an experiment to a system that works in production? AI Factory seeks to standardise precisely this journey. Instead of rebuilding every project from scratch, we reuse components, architectures and processes validated in previous projects – from data access and models right through to security, observability and the mechanisms through which humans retain control over important decisions,” said Mihai Chihaia, Chief Revenue Officer at dvloper.io.
AI Factory is the result of projects carried out by dvloper.io in fields such as technology, infrastructure and the public sector. The company states that, in certain projects, AI agents have been used to bring together knowledge from multiple fields and technologies, whilst human specialists have remained responsible for validating the results and making the final decision. In some of the projects developed by the company, AI agents were used to combine expertise from multiple technologies and fields, including in contexts where the level of specialisation and the number of skills required would be difficult to find in a single person. However, the role of AI is not to replace the specialist, but to extend their analytical capabilities, whilst the specialist retains responsibility for validation and the final decision.

Kraków is strengthening its position as a European hub for modern technologies and advanced industrial services. Global aerospace company Airbus has announced plans to open a new engineering center in the capital of the Małopolska Region, creating hundreds of highly skilled jobs for engineers, software specialists and technology professionals.
The new facility will focus on the design and development of solutions for the aviation industry. The Kraków-based team will work closely with Airbus's international operations, contributing to projects that support the future of modern aviation.

Its key strengths include a strong academic community, access to a highly qualified workforce, and a well-developed ecosystem of technology, engineering, and research and development companies.
The new engineering center is another international investment reinforcing Kraków's reputation as a place where innovative solutions with global impact are developed. It also reflects a broader trend of locating advanced engineering and digital projects in the city, bringing together experts from around the world.

In March 2027, Visa will open a new Technology & Solutions Centre in Warsaw, delivering on the commitment VISA made in 2023 to expand its technology footprint in Europe.

This investment will harness the country’s strong talent base to accelerate product development in areas such as AI, cybersecurity and resilient digital payments infrastructure for the benefit of European partners and businesses.

This Warsaw centre will also be part of a global network of tech hubs focused on developing the leading payment solutions that are engineered for global scale and local needs, making Europe a leading tech provider and innovator for the world.
