Job description

We're an entrepreneurial, investment-focused organisation — big enough to compete at the highest level of the market, but small enough that you'll never get lost in bureaucracy.

As our Financial Controller, you'll play an important role in helping us understand the financial performance of our projects and business. You'll work closely with the finance team, project stakeholders and senior management to ensure our reporting is accurate, our forecasts are reliable, and potential issues are identified early.

If you're someone who enjoys looking beyond the numbers, asks questions when something doesn't quite add up, and wants to understand the business behind the figures, we'd like to talk to you.

What You'll Do:

• Manage project financial controlling activities — monitor project performance, identify potential issues and work with project stakeholders to ensure financial information is accurate and up to date.
• Prepare group and company reporting — support the consolidation of financial information across our projects and offices for reporting to our parent company in Turkey.
• Analyse financial performance — compare actuals against forecasts, investigate variances and help translate findings into useful insights for the business.
• Support cash flow forecasting — prepare and maintain cash flow forecasts, monitor liquidity and provide reliable financial data to support planning and decision-making.
• Support the budgeting process — contribute to annual budgets and longer‑term financial plans, working closely with senior members of the finance team.
• Support project financing activities — prepare and coordinate disbursement requests, checking supporting documentation and ensuring compliance with financing requirements.
• Work across teams — collaborate with accounting, Project Finance and other internal stakeholders to ensure financial information is aligned and communicated effectively.
• Support the audit process — help prepare information for external audits and work with auditors to respond to requests and queries.
• Take responsibility for your work — manage your priorities, follow through on tasks and ensure deadlines and reporting requirements are met.

What You Bring

• A degree in finance, accounting, economics or a related field.
• 3–5 years' experience in financial controlling, budgeting, forecasting, reporting or financial analysis.
• Experience with budgeting, forecast preparation, budget execution reporting and variance analysis.
• Experience in renewable energy, infrastructure or construction is a plus, but not essential.
• A genuine curiosity about the business, not just the numbers — you want to understand why things happen, not just what happened.
• The ability to work independently, take responsibility for your work and use good judgement about when to ask for support or elevate an issue.
• Advanced Excel skills and strong attention to detail.
• Good communication skills and the ability to work with colleagues across different functions and locations.

How You Work

You take ownership of your responsibilities and make sure things are followed through to completion.

You're curious and analytical — you don't simply report numbers; you want to understand what they mean.

You have good commercial awareness and are interested in understanding the wider business, not just the ledger.

You're comfortable working independently while knowing when to seek guidance or involve more senior colleagues.

You collaborate well and build positive working relationships with colleagues across functions and geographies.

You're committed to producing accurate, reliable work and continuously improving how things are done.
