Descripción del empleo

Join us as Denmark’s dedicated Financial Controller, where you’ll drive financial excellence while building your career in a truly international environment. You’ll be the strategic finance voice on-site for Denmark, partnering directly with business leaders across National Accounting Centres, Plant Operations, and Business Finance teams to influence key decisions and shape performance.

You’ll own the complete financial stewardship of assigned entities—from month-end excellence to strategic forecasting—while collaborating seamlessly with our Global Business Finance Services (GBFS) and Strategic Business Unit Centers of Excellence.

What makes this role unique? You’ll report to our FP&A Finance Manager for Nordics, Baltics and Kazakhstan, giving you access to a front-office team while being supported by a larger team in our center of excellence in Brno. This structure delivers the best of both worlds: local business impact with global resources and career opportunities.

• Deliver strategic business analysis and decision support by explaining performance drivers in clear terms, recommending cost and process actions backed by robust data analysis, preparing standard business cases and ACT documents, and supporting capex tracking with post-investment reviews.
• Consolidate and bridge overhead cost and other forward forecasting. Reconciliate payroll accounting operations while maintaining detailed cost center and project reporting, tracking Opex and headcount, and submitting high-quality data in ERP and BI tools within required timeframes.
• Maintain rigorous SOX compliance and internal controls by keeping comprehensive documentation and control evidence, supporting internal and external audits with detailed schedules and explanations, and provide optional support for statutory audit with local advisors.
• Lead continuous process improvement initiatives by documenting SOPs and controls, proposing simplifications and automation in Excel and BI tools, supporting transitions and integrations with Brno SSC and SBU CoE, while meeting agreed service levels and escalating issues with facts and solution options.
• Enhance financial information flow by improving dashboards and templates, tracking risks and opportunities with early flagging, and providing clear, insight-driven analysis that transforms complex financial data into actionable business intelligence for leadership decision-making.

Qualifications

• Degree in finance or accounting.
• 4 to 6 years of experience in controlling, accounting, or FP&A.
• Strong US GAAP knowledge. SOX and internal controls experience.
• Advanced Excel skills. Experience with SAP or Oracle and BI tools like Power BI is a plus. Anaplan knowledge would be a benefit.
