Jobbeschreibung

AGRANA Fruit is part of the AGRANA Beteiligungs-AG, operating at 26 production sites on 5 continents worldwide.

We offer a wide range of creative and innovative solutions for the food and beverage industry.

Our fruit solutions deliver high quality fruit, which is expertly prepared to be used in the dairy, ice cream, bakery, food service and beverage industries.

AGRANA Fruit’s product development work incorporates the latest global nutritional and health trends.

We are looking for an experienced, senior and commercially minded finance professional to join our Division Controlling team in Vienna.

You will work at the centre of our global finance organisation, partnering closely with regional finance teams, senior management and key stakeholders across countries and functions.

The role requires strong experience from a complex corporate environment, ideally within an international production or manufacturing company, together with the confidence and maturity to operate effectively at senior management level.

We are looking for someone who combines strong controlling expertise with excellent stakeholder management, a hands-on mindset and the flexibility to navigate changing priorities in a dynamic international organisation.

Your responsibilities:

• Lead planning and forecasting cycles: Drive budgets, forecasts and long-term planning across the division, ensuring clear governance, transparent assumptions and reliable delivery.
• Own divisional management reporting: Coordinate high-quality monthly reporting, KPI dashboards and executive-ready commentary, providing a clear and transparent view of performance across regions and affiliates.
• Act as a trusted senior business partner: Analyse P&L, balance sheet and cash-flow developments, understand underlying business drivers and confidently challenge assumptions made by regional and functional stakeholders.
• Partner with senior leadership: Translate complex financial developments into clear, concise and actionable messages, decision options and recommendations for the CFO, the AGRANA Fruit Board and other senior stakeholders.
• Drive continuous improvement: Further develop reporting structures and front-end tools, identify opportunities to simplify processes and reduce duplication, and partner with technical experts on automation and system enhancements.
• Strengthen finance governance and knowledge sharing: Build clear and scalable knowledge-management structures for the Division Controlling team and the wider global finance community, while facilitating best-practice sharing across the division.
• Lead beyond the recurring controlling cycle: Take ownership of ad hoc analyses, management requests and selected cross-functional or division-wide projects.
• Adapt quickly to changing business priorities while providing reliable backup across critical controlling processes.

Your profile:

• Relevant senior experience: 5+ years of professional experience in financial controlling, FP&A, finance business partnering or a closely related finance/accounting role within a complex corporate environment, ideally in an international production, manufacturing or FMCG company.
• German language: Native-level German or C2 proficiency is required, combined with fluent professional English for collaboration across our international organisation.
• Strong financial judgement: Sound command of management reporting, planning and performance analysis, combined with strong commercial understanding and the confidence to challenge assumptions and identify what matters.
• Senior stakeholder management: Proven experience working with senior decision-makers, with the ability to communicate clearly, challenge constructively and build strong relationships across functions, cultures and geographies.
• Systems and analytics expertise: Advanced Excel skills, practical experience with SAP and reporting/analysis tools; an interest in automation, digital reporting and efficient data flows is highly valued.
• Ownership and flexibility: Structured, proactive and reliable, with the flexibility to adapt to changing priorities, manage multiple topics and independently drive tasks through to completion.
• Education and collaboration: A university degree in business administration, finance, controlling or a related field, combined with a collaborative mindset and willingness to share knowledge and support colleagues.

Our offer:

• Direct exposure to divisional decision-making and senior finance leadership.
• A broad international scope spanning performance management, planning, business partnering and transformation.
• The mandate to shape reporting and controlling processes, not simply operate them.
• A visible role in an experienced, collaborative team that values sound judgement, openness and pragmatic solutions.
• A strong platform for further development within AGRANA's international finance organisation.

Due to legal reasons we are obliged to disclose the minimum salary according to the collective agreement for this position, which is € 43.324,40 gross per year. However, our attractive compensation package is based on market‑oriented salaries.
