- Cover financial and operational KPIs across key business areas, including Operator, Developer, and Energy.
- Translate accounting and financial data into clear business conclusions and recommended actions.
- Work closely with controlling, accounting, country finance teams, and business stakeholders.
- Lead a small FP&A / controlling team and raise its quality, ownership, and efficiency.
- Continuously search for simplification, automation, and better use of data / AI tools.
Requirements:
- Proven experience in FP&A, business controlling, financial planning, or performance management at senior level.
- Experience in a Group, multi-country, or complex corporate environment is strongly preferred.
- Strong ability to connect financial data with operational performance and business decision-making.
- Experience with budgeting, forecasting, management reporting, KPI development, and business-case analysis.
- Ability to challenge assumptions and numbers in a constructive, business-oriented way.
- Strong analytical skills across P&L, overheads, capex, project budgets, and financial performance.
- Experience in real estate, industrial/logistics, infrastructure, energy, construction, development, or another asset-heavy sector is a plus.
- Experience with dashboards, BI tools, planning systems, automation, or data-driven finance tools is a plus.
- Strong leadership skills and experience managing or developing a small team.
- Excellent communication skills; fluent English is a must.
- Practical, hands-on, business-oriented mindset with strong ownership and attention to quality.
Client Offers:
