Strategic Business Controller — Data-Driven Decisions

Atlante srl; Milano; On-site; EUR 70,000 - 110,000; Full time

Job summary

Atlante Italia is seeking a Business Controller to act as the analytical co-pilot of the CEO. You will gather and interpret operational, commercial, energy, and CAPEX data, challenge assumptions, and provide scenarios and actionable recommendations to steer decisions.

You will design KPIs and dashboards, support planning and forecasting, and work with multiple departments to improve financial practices and risk management.

Responsibilities

• Act as the analytical co-pilot of the CEO of Atlante Italia: bring sharp, concise analysis and recommendations that drive decisions, asking the right questions and not only answering them
• Run detailed analyses of company performance and build ad hoc business cases to explore new scenarios and drive higher, more sustainable profitability
• Analyse the profitability of the business at the level that matters — site and cohort unit economics, utilization, and margins — explaining variances against budget, forecast, and prior year, and what to do about them
• Own the capital-allocation analysis: CAPEX actual vs budget, time-to-energization, and the IRR and payback of investments, to help prioritise where capital is deployed
• Design, build, and evolve the KPIs and dashboards needed to steer the business
• Actively contribute to the planning, budgeting, and forecasting process, challenging assumptions rather than only consolidating them
• Provide active support on case studies and ad hoc projects for the CEO and top management, offering a proactive interpretation of financial and operational matters
• Work closely with other departments to ensure the consistency of business strategies, and contribute to the continuous improvement of financial practices, tools, and processes
• Proactively identify, quantify, and share risks and opportunities, bringing recommendations, not just flags
• Prepare periodic reporting (kept accurate and timely, but not the core of the role)
