Job description

Business-focused Controller with strong analytical skills and a drive to develop the finance function in an international technology company.

If so, you could be the Business Controller we are looking for at Frontmatec in Kolding. You will join the finance function within the Meat Solutions Europe (MS EU) business unit and play a key role in strengthening financial transparency, supporting business decisions and developing financial management practices. The position combines hands-on business controlling with business partnering, project finance and the development of reporting and analytical tools.

About Frontmatec – MS EU

Frontmatec is an international technology company and part of Fortifi Food Processing Solutions, with operations across Europe, North and South America, and Asia. Its customers include some of the world’s leading food producers. Fortifi employs more than 3,000 people across 55 locations and 25 manufacturing facilities in 19 countries.

The business delivers complex, high-tech projects, bringing together engineering, manufacturing, project management and finance to provide efficient, innovative solutions for customers in the global food industry.

A Key Role at the Heart of the Business

As Business Controller, you will be responsible for business controlling and financial reporting across Frontmatec – MS EU, with a particular focus for OEM and support for Aftermarket & Service.

You will act as a trusted financial partner to the business, working closely with business leaders, project managers, Group Finance, IT and colleagues across the finance function. Your role goes beyond delivering accurate figures: you will identify the drivers behind performance, spot trends and translate your analysis into actionable recommendations.

You will be comfortable moving between financial detail and the broader commercial picture, with the expertise and confidence to challenge assumptions constructively when needed.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Ensuring timely and accurate financial reporting and analyzing gross margins, order intake, order backlog and profitability.
• Playing an active role in budgeting and forecasting to support the financial decision-making.
• Supporting project controlling, including monitoring financial performance, assessing risks and recognizing revenue using the percentage-of-completion method.
• Analyzing and optimizing working capital, with particular attention to inventory levels and other key financial drivers.
• Conducting profitability analyses across projects, products and business areas and identifying opportunities for improvement.
• Supporting the month-end close and preparing monthly Business Review reports.
• Enhancing controlling models, reporting tools and data structures to improve quality, efficiency and standardization.
• Supporting the development of BI solutions and contributing to the Group’s internal AI initiative involving Snowflake, including efforts to improve data governance across ERP systems.

You will have the freedom to shape how your responsibilities are carried out and will be expected to contribute ideas and initiatives that strengthen financial management and collaboration across the business.

What We Are Looking For

You have a relevant qualification in finance or accounting, such as an MSc in Business Administration, an HD(R) diploma or an equivalent qualification, together with solid business controlling experience, ideally gained in an international, project-based organization. You bring strong financial and commercial acumen and have experience in reporting, budgeting, forecasting and financial analysis.

You are highly proficient in Excel and familiar with ERP systems and BI tools. You are naturally curious about data and motivated by creating transparency, improving processes and turning financial analysis into meaningful business insights.

Analytical, structured and inquisitive, you take a proactive, solutions-focused approach. You take ownership, balance attention to detail with a broader perspective and are confident in constructively challenging established processes and financial assumptions.

You are also a collaborative colleague who builds trust across functions. You communicate financial matters clearly and enjoy a hands‑on role that allows you to contribute to the continued development of the finance function.

Above all, you combine sound financial expertise with commercial awareness, initiative and a genuine desire to make an impact.

What You Can Expect from Frontmatec

At Frontmatec – MS EU, you will join an international group with deep expertise, advanced technology solutions and ambitious plans. You will take on a visible role with a broad network of stakeholders and the opportunity to influence both financial management and the continued development of the finance function.

You will be part of an engaged, informal working environment where teamwork, professional collaboration and a positive atmosphere are part of everyday life. Initiative and fresh ideas are encouraged, and you will enjoy responsibility, influence and opportunities for both professional and personal growth.

Frontmatec offers a flexible working environment with considerable freedom to organize your working day. You will also receive a competitive salary and benefits package, agreed individually based on your qualifications and experience.
