• Drive improvement projects related to customer contracts, revenue, ARR, reporting, and vendor management.

Purchase-to-Pay

• Own Apica’s Purchase-to-Pay process, including vendor management, procurement coordination, supplier follow-up, contract tracking, and collaboration with outsourced accounting teams.
• Support Apica’s internal contract owners with vendor documentation, renewal planning, and process follow-up.

We are looking for someone with the following background, skills, and mindset:

• A degree in finance, business, or a related field, combined with 2–4 years of experience in controlling, preferably sales controlling.
• Experience with subscription business models or ARR-based reporting is advantageous.
• Experience working in an international business environment.
• Good understanding of finance processes and accounting frameworks.
• Comfort working in CRM and finance systems with the curiosity to learn new tools and improve how they are used.
• A proactive self-starter with a can-do attitude, strong ownership, and high attention to detail.
• A structured and detail-oriented mindset, with the ability to see the bigger picture.
• Fluent in English, verbally and in writing.

What We Offer
