Job description

Our mission is to lead the industrial transformation by championing innovation and sustainability. From optimising data centres and advancing hydrogen production to revolutionising refrigeration and HVAC systems, our mission‑critical thermal solutions empower industries around the globe. United as “One Kelvion,” our global team delivers innovative solutions that drive customer success and support a sustainable future.
Together, We Shape the Future
We are looking for an experienced Finance Director with a strong background in manufacturing finance, controlling and SAP‑driven environments to lead the finance function of our manufacturing plants in Świebodzice. In this role, you will act as a strategic business partner to the local management team, while ensuring financial transparency, operational excellence and sustainable growth in an international industrial environment. Simply put, we are looking for a Finance Director who understands the factory, not just the financial statements.
This role is based in Swiebodzice (Poland).

What you will be responsible for:

• Manage, coach, and further develop the local finance and controlling team, building strong capabilities and a culture of accountability.
• Ensure accurate and timely statutory, tax, and IFRS‑compliant reporting, including monthly, quarterly, and annual closing activities.
• Drive controlling activities across the manufacturing plants, including weekly revenue and EBIT planning, performance management, KPI reporting, product costing, inventory valuation and variance analysis to support fact‑based and forward‑looking business decisions.
• Oversee liquidity planning, cash flow management, working capital optimization, and cost controlling.
• Take full accountability for the numbers, challenge assumptions, explain the story behind financial performance, and ensure transparent communication of risks, opportunities, and key business drivers.
• Identify deviations early, influence outcomes before they materialise, and drive concrete mitigation actions together with operational and commercial stakeholders.
• Drive execution accountability with cost centre owners by ensuring clear ownership of budgets, forecasts, cost deviations, corrective actions, and delivery of agreed financial targets.
• Ensure robust internal controls, SOX compliance, and adherence to corporate governance standards across finance processes.
• Partner closely with the Plant Manager and leadership team on operational, commercial, and strategic financial matters.
• Support investment decisions and operational planning through business cases, financial modelling, cost calculations, and scenario analysis.
• Represent the company as the key finance contact for auditors, banks, tax advisors, legal partners, and other external stakeholders.
• Identify opportunities for process improvement, standardisation, and efficiency gains across finance and business processes.
• Act as business owner for SAP FI/CO processes within the plants and partner with operations to drive digitalisation initiatives, improve data quality and enhance financial insights.

About you:

• University degree in Finance, Accounting, Controlling, Business Administration, or a related field; ACCA, CIMA, CPA, MBA or an equivalent qualification would be an advantage.
• Several years of experience in a senior finance leadership role within an international manufacturing environment, including responsibility for planning, product costing, variances analysis and operational performance management.
• Strong knowledge of IFRS and statutory reporting, as well as Polish tax regulations. Proven hands‑on experience working in SAP‑driven manufacturing organisations, with strong understanding of SAP FI/CO processes and their integration with production, logistics and supply chain operations.
• Proven ability to lead, motivate, and develop teams while building constructive relationships across the organisation.
• Commercial mindset with the ability to translate complex financial data into clear recommendations, compelling business narratives, and actionable decisions for business leaders.
• Confident communication style, strong stakeholder management skills, and the ability to work effectively in a multinational matrix organisation.
• Structured, resilient, solution‑oriented, and hands‑on personality with a strong doer mindset, high level of ownership, accountability, and professional maturity.
• Business‑fluent Polish and English.

What we offer YOU:

• A highly visible leadership role with significant impact on the future development of the organisation.
• Opportunity to work in an international environment and collaborate with regional finance leaders.
• Attractive remuneration package including annual bonus.
• Stable employment based on a full‑time employment contract.
• Flexible working hours and hybrid work opportunities where applicable.
• Social benefits package.
• Employee Referral Program.
• Luxmed private medical care financed by the employer.
• Multisport card co‑financed by the employer.
• Development opportunities within a global and growing industrial organisation.
