Job description

Business Controller - Parental Leave Cover

Stockholm

Mentimeter is an engagement tool with a clear goal in mind: to turn presentations into conversations. Through real‑time interactivity and clear visualizations, we get people to participate, engage and become more productive. We transform passive meetings, airless classrooms and drawn‑out trainings into valuable and memorable moments.

We truly believe that the best results come from doing things together. Successful leaders need a curious and collaborative mindset to get there. With you at Mentimeter, you’ll be part of the ambition to help over 1 billion people listen, learn and work better together.

As an Interim Business Controller, you will act as a strategic partner to the organization, bridging the gap between financial data and operational action. You will enable Mentimeter to scale by ensuring senior leaders and budget owners have a transparent understanding of their financial performance. By providing high‑quality insights and a robust financial framework, you empower decision‑makers to prioritise investments effectively and navigate the complexities of a fast‑paced global SaaS business with confidence.

You will be an integral part of our creative and driven cross‑functional Finance team, reporting directly to our CFO.

What You’ll Do

During this 12‑month cover, you will operate as a “Catalyst” for the business, moving beyond reporting into active partnership. Your responsibilities include:

• Financial Partnership: Act as a dedicated advisor to senior leaders, helping them interpret financial results and manage departmental P&Ls.
• Investment Support: Provide data‑driven ROI analysis and business case validation to support prioritisation of new initiatives.
• Process Ownership: Drive the evolution of financial processes, including budgeting, forecasting and management reporting.
• Analysis: Deep‑dive into revenues, costs and SaaS metrics (such as CAC, LTV and ARR) to identify growth opportunities and risks.
• Reporting: Prepare accurate monthly reports for the board and management that tell “the story behind the numbers”.

Who You Are

We believe you are business‑oriented, curious and thrive in a fast‑paced environment where you have the autonomy to tackle problems.

• Experience: 5+ years of experience in business controlling.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree or higher in finance, engineering or an equivalent field.
• Financial Processes: Proven track‑record of driving workflows in key financial processes such as budgeting and financial reporting.
• Financial Modeling: Proficiency in building sophisticated, automated and error‑proof models in Excel or Google Sheets.
• AI and automation: Experience improving processes through automation, e.g. automating report creation through AI tools.
• SaaS Acumen: Solid understanding of SaaS business mechanics and metrics.
• Communication: Ability to package complex financial concepts into simple, persuasive narratives for non‑financial stakeholders.
• Data Interpretation: Skill in extracting meaningful insights from sometimes messy or incomplete data to solve open‑ended business challenges.
• Language: Professional fluency in English (Swedish not required).

Competitive compensation and benefits package, including pension contributions.

Mentimeter is an equal‑opportunity employer. We encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds.
