Job description

Are you a Business Controller with a few years’ experience who wants to do more than just produce reports? In this role, you’ll translate data into concrete insights that contribute to better decisions and a stronger, more efficiently organised organisation. You’ll work closely with the business and have a tangible impact on processes, performance and digitalisation.

Your role

As a Business Controller, you are the link between finance, data and operations. You actively immerse yourself in what is happening on the productionfloor, in production processes and in customer-facing activities. Based on this, you develop and improve management information and dashboards that help to steer the organisation effectively.

You will work closely with the Senior Business Controller and various internal stakeholders, but will also take independent responsibility for analyses, reports and improvement initiatives. You will be involved in projects relating to BI, data quality and digitalisation, and will proactively contribute ideas on how to organise information provision in a smarter and future-proof manner.

This is what you’ll be doing

You’ll work with data from various processes within the organisation and translate this into insights that help drive better decision-making. You’ll assist in creating and improving reports and dashboards, ensuring that information is available centrally and clearly organised, rather than scattered across separate Excel files.

In addition, you will delve into (production) processes and explore how data and systems can be used more intelligently to work more efficiently and reduce waste. You help ensure that data is properly recorded at source and contribute ideas on how applications can work together more effectively. You also provide support for projects in the field of BI and digitalisation, and explore how new tools, such as AI, can be used to automate tasks and improve processes.

What you bring to the table

You have strong analytical skills, work in a structured manner and are able to distinguish between the main issues and the details. You feel at home in an environment where data, systems and processes converge, and you know how to translate complex analyses into clear insights for colleagues in operations. In addition, you recognise yourself in the following:

• A completed higher professional education (HBO) or university (WO) degree, preferably in Finance & Control, Business Administration or Business Analytics
• 3–5 years’ relevant work experience as a (Junior/Business) Controller or in a similar data or finance role
• Solid knowledge of Excel and experience with reports and dashboards
• An affinity with data, systems and digitalisation
• Experience with or an interest in tools such as Power BI, AFAS and/or AI solutions (an advantage)
• You are not afraid to ask questions, think critically and come up with suggestions for improvement

What you can expect from us

You’ll be joining a small, experienced finance team of four colleagues, where teamwork, camaraderie and a sense of humour are key. We take a practical and pragmatic approach: we turn ideas into action and help one another where needed. You’ll be given every opportunity to contribute your ideas, take the initiative and develop your skills within an international production environment.

We offer the following terms:

• A one-year contract for 32 to 40 hours per week, with the prospect of a permanent position;
• A gross monthly salary of between €3,480 and €4,500 (based on 40 hours), depending on your knowledge and experience;
• A fixed end-of-year bonus of 5.33%;
• 25 days’ annual leave (based on 40 hours) and 8.33% holiday pay;
• A pension scheme to which the employer contributes two-thirds.
