Our solutions include route optimization, real-time tracking, security protocols, and seamless transport management, from producer to port and beyond. This end-to-end visibility reduces friction, minimizes delays, and increases resilience in your logistics network.

Role Overview

The Business Controller will act as a strategic finance partner to the Product and Technology teams, ensuring robust financial control, transparency, and commercial insight across the platform.

While retaining full accountability for core financial control responsibilities, this role is designed to bridge the gap between finance and product by translating financial outcomes into business and product performance insights, and vice versa.

  • Support decision‑making around product investments, prioritisation, and ROI assessments.

• Budgeting, Forecasting & Performance Management

  • Lead budgeting and rolling forecast processes for product‑related revenues, costs, and capitalised development spend.

  • Track actual performance against budget and forecasts, identifying variances and providing actionable insights.

  • Develop and maintain financial models that support scenario planning, growth initiatives, and strategic planning.

  • Define and monitor KPIs that link financial performance to product usage, adoption, and client value.

• Stakeholder Management & Communication

  • Present financial results, trends, and insights to senior management and non‑finance stakeholders in a clear and commercially meaningful way.

  • Challenge assumptions constructively and provide fact‑based recommendations to business and product leaders.

  • Act as a trusted advisor to Product leadership, balancing financial discipline with business agility.

• Process & Systems Improvement

  • Work closely with Finance Systems and Product teams to improve data quality, reporting automation, and financial visibility across the platform.

  • Support improvements in cost tracking, project accounting, and capitalization of development costs where applicable.

• Contribute to the evolution of finance processes suitable for a scaling technology organization.
