Your role

Are you an analytical finance professional with a passion for data modeling, business controlling, and strategic decision support? Do you want to bridge high-level divisional strategy with operational business reality while driving digitalization across a global product division?

What does an assistant divisional controller & business analyst do at the Atlas Copco Group in Wilrijk? In this dual-perspective role within the Airtec division, you combine divisional financial controlling with hands-on business analytics.

Your daily flow includes supporting monthly closing, consolidation, and reporting packs for divisional management and the Business Board. You take full ownership of P&L analyses, including cost/margin control, overhead variance, cost bridges, and gross profit follow-up across product companies. To sharpen your operational understanding, you spend part of your time supporting our local product company in Antwerp/Wilrijk. Additionally, you coordinate global planning cycles (budgets and annual plans), act as a sparring partner for local controllers to enforce "The Way We Do Things" Group guidelines, and drive digitalization by replacing manual spreadsheets with Power BI models, automated data flows, and AI/Copilot integrations. You will work via our hybrid model at our site in Wilrijk.
