Analytical and customer-focused
Hu Arin, IT Solution Specialist for Financial Systems, has been working at DRÄXLMAIER China since 2017
What are your responsibilities at DRÄXLMAIER?
I serve as the main IT contact for Finance Solutions in China. My role is to understand the needs of the finance team and develop suitable solutions—whether by adapting existing systems or creating new ones. When a project requires it, I take on the role of solution expert, closely coordinating with the development team and supporting user testing.
I’m also part of the global Synapsis Finance Solution Design and Build Team. In this role, I contributed to the S/4 HANA rollout in Europe and supported the requirements analysis for China. Additionally, I provide SAP support for the finance department’s daily operations.
What do you enjoy most about your work?
I really appreciate being able to support my colleagues in finance in a tangible way—whether by optimizing processes in SAP or introducing new solutions that make their day-to-day work easier. It’s motivating to see that my contributions make a real difference and help the team work more efficiently.
Do you have any hobbies, passions, or talents you'd like to share?
I’m passionate about cooking—especially Szechuan and Shanghainese dishes. Preparing a delicious meal for myself is the perfect way to kick off the weekend.
I also have two cats: “Flower Roll” and “Tang Yuan”—both named after Chinese dishes. When they curl up next to me, it’s the most relaxing moment of my day.
What has been the most valuable experience during your time at DRÄXLMAIER?
The value of customer orientation has had a major impact on my work. I’ve learned to truly listen and understand the needs of my colleagues—because only then can I develop solutions that genuinely help.
How do you see your professional development at DRÄXLMAIER?
Over the past seven years, I’ve had many opportunities to grow—through technical training and English courses. These experiences have advanced my professional development and enriched me personally.
How do you balance your work and personal life—and why is that important to you?
DRÄXLMAIER places great importance on work-life balance. That helps me switch off after work and really enjoy my free time. This balance keeps me focused and motivated on the job.
