  • Support the Managing Director and department heads with financial insights to guide operational and strategic decisions.

Your Profile

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
  • Minimum 10 years of progressive experience in finance, accounting, or controlling, ideally combining both operational and strategic exposure.

  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to influence and engage senior stakeholders.
  • Proven experience in an international and fast-paced environment.
  • Hands-on, pragmatic, and comfortable working both strategically and operationally.
