Controller - Finance

at  Lush

WHO WE ARE

You might know us as the inventors of the bath bomb, but there’s more to this great-smelling, partly employee-owned, family-run company than pioneering cosmetics. We believe our business should put more back into the world than it takes and demonstrate that capitalism can be a force for good.
We put our people first and fight cruel practices like animal testing, promote regeneration, and show that it is what’s inside that counts - whether that’s an ingredient in a product, or the minerals in a smartphone.

SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE

• You have a business degree with a focus on “Finance & Controlling” or equivalent and relevant professional qualifications e.g. CPA or ACCA.
• You have 1-3 years of professional experience in accounting and controlling, preferably within a retail environment.
• Experience with Czech GAAP
• Experience with computerized accounting programmes and Business Intelligence software is a plus.
• You are an Excel professional and are otherwise open to new tools and technologies
• You have a strong hands-on mentality to ensure tasks are completed to the highest standard, think commercially, and do not lose sight of the bigger picture
• You have the flexibility to work in a reactive and ever-changing business environment, thriving on the opportunity to work autonomously and in support of the local leadership team
• You are an excellent communicator who is able to articulate a view and effect change within a collective group environment
• Proficiency in English and Czech, with strong written and oral communication skills.

WHAT’S IT LIKE WORKING FOR LUSH

People are at the heart of our business. We want you to enjoy and challenge yourself, build a career, and teach us what we don’t know, so we’ve created a culture where your job description is a starting point, not an end goal. Our working style is flexible, fluid, supportive, and authentic - if you’ve got the drive to push yourself and try different things, you will have our support.

THE TEAM AND ROLE

Lush Czech is a very successful 3-shop market, with all stores currently in Prague and also forms part of the progressive CEE network which includes Hungary and Poland. Lush Czech prides itself on running for the most part as an independent market and has a very small support team based at our offices in Prague. This model brings you opportunities to collaborate with many people within the larger group, allowing you to share your own ideas to build the community and collaborate with managers in other markets to expand our core business.
