Job description

How you can make an impact In the Controlling team in our APAC region, you provide financial insights that steer performance and enable informed decisions across countries and functions. You work independently on your area of responsibility and collaborate closely with stakeholders to support regional growth and profitability. You support and contribute to financial planning and forecasting, coordinating, consolidating and analysing inputs, assumptions and scenarios across relevant countries, entities and functions. By analysing financial and operational performance, you identify key drivers, trends, variances, risks and opportunities and translate them into actionable insights and recommendations for business decisions. The development and maintenance of financial models, forecasts and scenario analyses lie in your hands, enabling effective business planning, performance management and resource allocation. Assumptions and inputs are reviewed and challenged by you to ensure they are robust, consistent and aligned with business goals, creating a sound basis for planning and decision-making. You prepare, consolidate and deliver financial and management reporting - including weekly, monthly and quarterly reports - and ensure timely and accurate outputs in line with regional and Group requirements. With relevant KPIs, dashboards and reporting materials, you provide clear visibility of business and financial performance and support management reviews with concise commentary on key variances and focus areas. By partnering with stakeholders across functions and countries, you bring a strong financial perspective into discussions, clarify requirements, resolve issues related to performance and reporting, and drive continuous improvement in processes, systems and analytical capabilities - including leveraging tools such as Hyperion.

What sets you apart

You bring a Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, Economics, Data/Business Analytics or a related discipline, giving you a solid foundation in financial concepts and analysis. Several years of relevant experience in financial planning and analysis, management reporting, controlling, business analytics or a related finance function, ideally in a regional or multi-country environment, enable you to navigate complex structures confidently. A solid understanding of financial performance management, including budgeting, forecasting, management reporting and controlling principles (P&L, profitability, margin and variance analysis), allows you to assess performance and guide decisions effectively. You have hands‑on experience with financial reporting, planning, consolidation and/or analytical tools, such as Hyperion or comparable systems, preferably in a regional setting. Working with multiple stakeholders across different countries or functions is familiar to you, and you manage reporting, planning or analytical deliverables reliably through varying cycles and deadlines. Your advanced MS Excel and PowerPoint skills help you analyse, model and present large and complex datasets clearly and convincingly; experience with data visualisation, dashboards and business intelligence tools is an advantage. Strong analytical and conceptual skills enable you to structure complex issues, identify key performance drivers and translate data into clear, concise and actionable insights and recommendations, while maintaining high attention to detail and data accuracy. In your way of working, you show proactive, solution‑oriented and improvement‑focused behaviour: you work independently and collaboratively across functions, countries and organisational levels and respond flexibly to changing business requirements and priorities.
