You want to understand:

Why has it decreased? What has changed operationally? Is the current forecast still realistic? What risks or opportunities are we not yet seeing? And what should we do about it?

You also bring:

• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Finance, Business Economics, Business Administration or a related field.
• 2-5 years of experience in Project Control, Business Control, Financial Planning and Analysis, Financial Control or another analytical role.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to understand complex information quickly.

• Strong Excel skills, experience with SAP, Power BI or similar systems is an advantage.
