As a human-sized pharmaceutical company, we operate with high standards, a strong team mindset, and a clear ambition: to create meaningful, lasting impact. Here, you can own your role, grow your expertise, and be fully yourself.

  • 1–3 years of relevant experience in controlling, FP&A, financial analysis, or a similar finance role

  • Strong knowledge of financial closing, budgeting, forecasting, OPEX management, and variance analysis

  • Solid analytical skills, with the ability to turn financial data into clear insights and recommendations

  • Business-oriented and comfortable partnering with non-finance stakeholders across Sales, Marketing, Supply Chain, and other functions

  • Hands-on, accurate, and detail-oriented, with a strong sense of ownership and respect for deadlines

  • Proactive, solution-oriented, and able to challenge assumptions constructively while improving processes

  • Strong Excel skills; experience with OneStream, ERP systems, and/or demand planning is a strong asset

  • Fluent in Dutch & French, English is an asset

Additional information

  • We’ve recently moved to Forest (Brussels) and you will enjoy our eco-friendly, modern and cosy workspace (with parking, fitness, fresh fruit, and more to discover)
