In your role you are a pioneer in the use of digital reporting solutions. In close cooperation with CoE Data & Visuals, you actively promote further use in the finance area and the staff functions. You use the “Digital Planning” approach in the staff function areas successfully to contribute to a future-oriented controlling process.

Your tasks and responsibilities

• Further develop and implement our financial model.
• Continuously develop end‑to‑end Staff Functions financial data flow from cost to cost allocations.
• Advise on improvements / changes in the financial model.

• Use analytical techniques to interpret results, give insights about problems, solutions or assumptions.
• Monitor data quality, report to SF and signal issues to the CoE Data & Visuals; request changes towards the masterdata team or BPO provider.
• Change from current static reporting style to dynamic visualization of SF performance and drive adoption and implementation of digital reporting solutions such as Self‑Service and other leading practices such as leaner planning.

Location: Katowice, Stockholm, Amsterdam or Berlin.
