Join Televic

For 40 years we’ve been developing innovative passenger information systems for rail transport. Agility, innovation, and sustainability drive us — help shape the future!

About Televic

At Televic, our mission is clear: we deliver innovative and reliable passenger and communication systems for rail transport. For over 40 years, we’ve been developing, producing, programming, and maintaining fully integrated hardware and software systems with passion. We’re proud to say our technology is used in over 60,000 vehicles worldwide. Innovation, agility, customer focus, and sustainability drive everything we do. Join Televic and help actively shape the future of passenger information. Your enthusiasm and skills are key to captivating our customers.

Finance – Reliability meets vision

Our Finance team currently consists of two experienced colleagues who don’t just work with numbers — they understand them, and use that understanding to enable well‑founded decisions.

Whether it’s budget planning, forecasting, reporting, or controlling, Finance ensures we stand on stable financial ground as a company and can act strategically.

With a high degree of accuracy, integrity, and an open ear for other departments, Finance is not only the backbone of the organization — it’s a genuine sparring partner at eye level.

What We Offer

We offer you a permanent, unlimited position with long‑term prospects in an innovative, international, and future‑proof industry. At Televic Rail, you’ll work on technologies that make a daily impact on public transport — sustainable, demanding, and socially relevant.

As Business Controller, you’ll become part of our management team and take on a central role at the interface between finance, business, and management. You’ll shape transparency, drive decisions forward, and actively contribute to the financial steering of our German entity.

This position offers an annual gross salary between €60,000 and €80,000. Final placement depends on your qualifications, relevant experience, and depth of expertise.

• 30 days of vacation per year
• A contractually agreed 13th‑month salary
• Flexible working hours and the option to work remotely
• Personal and professional development opportunities
• An open, trust‑based company culture with short decision‑making paths
• Room to shape and further develop finance, controlling, and reporting processes
• A subsidy for a public transport job ticket, a company bike (Jobrad), or an on‑site parking space
• Fresh & healthy: water, tea, and fresh fruit

Your Responsibilities

You are the financial co‑pilot of Televic Rail GmbH and part of our management team. You deliver analyses that show where we stand, why we stand there, and what to do next — translating numbers clearly and confidently into recommendations management can act on.

In this role, you report directly to the CFO and to management, and work closely with local and global finance and business stakeholders.

• Bring transparency to monthly closings, reporting, and forecasts for our German entity, translating numbers into clear decision‑making foundations for the business.
• Build out and take ownership of project controlling: keep an eye on project margins, costs, and cash flow, and question developments wherever it matters.
• Turn budgets, variances, and KPIs into concrete actions: drive solutions forward and actively contribute to strategic financial planning — including goal‑setting and a three‑to‑five‑year planning horizon.
• Stay close to the business: through close exchange with project teams, sales, and operations, make numbers tangible, ask the right questions, and drive decisions forward.
• Bring together local and global finance perspectives, ensure transparency in international exchange, and guarantee consistent, reliable reporting.
• Sharpen our controlling processes, tools, and dashboards so insights are available faster and more clearly.
• Establish the targeted use of AI in finance and develop concrete use cases for more efficient analyses, reports, forecasts, and processes.
• Support business cases, investment decisions, and ad‑hoc analyses for management.

Your Skills

• A relevant completed master’s degree, e.g. in industrial engineering, business administration, finance, or controlling
• At least 5 years of professional experience, ideally from a Big 4 environment such as audit, transaction, or advisory — and ready to take the next step into the business side
• Confident with AI tools and an understanding of how they can make finance processes, analyses, and reporting more efficient
• Solid knowledge of German commercial law (HGB) and confident familiarity with local reporting requirements
• Confident working with Power BI as well as SAP or comparable ERP systems, using them routinely for analysis, reporting, and steering
• Business‑fluent German and English for collaboration in local and international settings
• Strong analytical ability: you don’t need many words to get to the heart of a problem and reach a well‑founded assessment
• Initiative and drive: you take ownership, bring energy to the team, and push things forward without waiting to be asked
• Strong social and communication skills; you connect easily with both finance and non‑finance stakeholders
• Follow‑through: you translate numbers into decisions and stay on it until actions take effect
