Act as a sparring partner for senior stakeholders—challenging assumptions, bringing independent perspectives, and influencing decisions
Contribute to strategy development and performance reviews, ensuring alignment between financial targets and execution
Drive the next generation of controlling by advancing digital, data-driven ways of working

What you will need

University degree in Finance, Economics, or a related field
Several years of experience (approx. 5+ years) in controlling (business, regional) and corporate finance within an international environment
Strong knowledge of accounting principles, financial reporting, and budgeting processes
Proven track record in financial planning, analysis, and the improvement of controlling tools and processes
Strong analytical thinking combined with the ability to translate complexity into clear, actionable insights
