To support our expansion, we are looking for a Senior Business Controller to drive financial performance across multiple sites in Germany and contribute at European level.

Your role

  • Lead budgeting, forecasting and cash flow planning
  • Monitor CAPEX and investment performance
  • Ensure cost control and ownership of the PO process
  • Perform balance sheet reviews with accounting
  • Build and challenge business cases and pricing assumptions
  • Analyse client profitability and recommend actions
  • Improve reporting, tools and processes (e.g. Power BI)

  • Master’s degree in Finance, Controlling, Business Administration or similar
  • 5–10 years’ experience in controlling, ideally in logistics, industrial, manufacturing or multi-site environments
  • Strong experience as a business partner to operations, influencing decision-making at site or regional level
  • Proven track record in budgeting, forecasting, financial planning and analysis (FP&A)
  • Experience with investment controlling, CAPEX and project-based financial management
  • Solid understanding of financial statements, accounting principles and closing cycles
  • Experience working in an international or matrix organisation
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, operational environment with multiple stakeholders

Skills

  • Advanced Excel and strong affinity with data and reporting tools (Power BI, SAP or similar)
  • Strong analytical capability with the ability to go into detail while maintaining a strategic view
  • Able to translate complex financial data into clear, actionable insights for non-finance stakeholders
  • Excellent communication and influencing skills, with the ability to challenge constructively
  • Structured and reliable, with strong attention to detail and data accuracy
  • Proactive, hands-on and solution-oriented mindset
  • Able to work independently while building strong cross-functional relationships
  • Fluent German and English (written and spoken) is a requirement
