In short:

Building on a strong regional foundation, On’s premium growth in EMEA now demands a bold leap forward in how we scale. As Head of Controlling & FP&A EMEA, you will shape the next chapter of our Controlling and FP&A function to power our trajectory over the next 3-5 years. Reporting to the CFO EMEA, you will pioneer next-generation automation and analysis, empowering your team to spend the majority of their time as strategic, data-driven co-pilots to the EMEA commercial and operations teams.

Your Mission:

• Architect Controlling & FP&A for the Next 3-5 Years: Evolve and scale the EMEA Controlling and FP&A operating model for our next phase of growth, unifying rigorous financial governance (Controlling) with forward-looking strategic foresight (FP&A) to support On’s trajectory.
• Accelerate Our Automation & Tech Evolution: Push the boundaries of what modern finance technology can do. Leverage automation, AI/ML tools, and integrated ERP/BI ecosystems (D365, Anaplan, Looker) to streamline closing, reporting, and variance tracking as complexity grows.
• Elevate FP&A into a Predictive Strategic Engine: Advance quarterly forecasts, annual budgeting, and Long-Range Planning into dynamic, scenario-based models that seamlessly merge real-time omnichannel sell-out data, order book intelligence, and external market signals.
• Scale Controlling as High-Velocity Governance: Strengthen and automate cost center controlling, trade terms governance, and P&L integrity, ensuring financial control acts as a real-time, scalable enabler for smart commercial risk-taking.
• Embed as a High-Impact Commercial Co-Pilot: Maximize the team’s impact where it matters most, spending substantial time partnering directly with EMEA Sales, Marketing, Merchandizing, and Operations leaders to steer investments using sharp data and insights.
• Develop and Inspire a Future-Ready Finance Team: Lead, coach, and grow a high-performing team of strategic finance navigators, fostering an ambitious culture where curiosity, technological fluency, and commercial impact set a new industry benchmark.

Your Story:

• Visionary Finance Builder & Scaler: 8-12+ years of progressive Finance leadership, with a proven track record of scaling and evolving Controlling and FP&A functions in a fast-growing, complex international environment.
• Dual Mastery of Controlling & FP&A: Deep command of financial governance, P&L management, and omnichannel commercial controlling, combined with best-in-class strategic FP&A, driver-based modeling, and long-range scenario planning.
• Tech & Automation Champion: Hands-on experience elevating finance processes using modern ERP, EPM, BI, and automation stacks (e.g., D365/SAP, Anaplan, Looker, SQL/Python, Alteryx, or AI-enabled finance workflows) to build scalable, self-service insights.
• Data-Driven Commercial Partner: A trusted advisor and constructive challenger who translates complex, multi-channel data into clear storylines and decisive commercial actions, equally comfortable discussing store economics, marketplace profitability, or order-book conversion with executive stakeholders.
• Ambitious, Forward-Thinking Leader: High-energy leader who thrives in a dynamic environment, thinks big about the future of Finance, and empowers teams of 5+ to innovate, stretch, and continuously raise the bar.
• Global Mindset & Presence: Fluent in English and comfortable traveling across EMEA key markets as needed to stay close to the business and our commercial partners.

Your Team:

You will lead and evolve the 5+ FTE EMEA Controlling & FP&A organization. Sitting at the intersection of Wholesale, DTC E-commerce, DTC Retail, Marketing, Operations and Global Finance, this team goes beyond reporting the numbers. We build the systems, models, and partnerships that steer On’s next wave of growth across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
