Bewin Holding B.V. is a multi-country group operating across Türkiye, the Netherlands and Malta, with businesses in tyre distribution and retail, international trade, vehicle rental, real estate and yachting.
We are looking for a Group Cost & Expenditure Control Manager to provide Holding management with a consistent, analytical view of costs across all Group companies.
This is a build-from-scratch role. The successful candidate will establish the Group's first consolidated budget, design and harmonise the cost-centre structure, and create the reporting and analytical framework needed to manage costs effectively across companies, branches and locations.
Key Responsibilities
- Analyse indirect and overhead costs across Group companies, branches and cost centres, including logistics, fleet, rent, facilities, professional services and general administrative expenses.
- Build the Group's consolidated budget and manage monthly budget-versus-actual reporting, variance analysis and root-cause assessment.
- Map, rationalise and harmonise cost-centre structures and master data across Group companies.
- Conduct supplier and category-level spend analysis; identify opportunities for supplier consolidation, cost optimisation and improved commercial terms.
- Develop unit-cost benchmarks across companies, branches and warehouses and investigate significant deviations.
- Review expenditure processes to identify duplicate, recurring, misclassified or insufficiently documented spend and recommend improvements.
- Work closely with finance, accounting and procurement teams across Türkiye, the Netherlands and Malta to collect, validate and standardise data.
- Build and maintain management dashboards and prepare monthly cost reports for Holding management.
- Analyse personnel costs and overtime from a cost perspective and monitor relevant payment-channel costs.
- Hands-on and execution-oriented; comfortable working directly with data and building analyses, reports and dashboards independently.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Economics, Industrial Engineering, Finance or a related field.
- 5–8 years of experience in cost control, budgeting/FP&A, financial analysis or business analysis; multi-company or multi-site experience is preferred.
- Strong understanding of the Turkish uniform chart of accounts, with the ability to read trial balances and translate accounting data into management insight.
- Advanced Excel skills are required.
- Experience working with ERP systems.
- Comfortable working in a multi-company, multi-currency (TRY/EUR) and multi-country environment.
- Ability to analyse cost trends in a high-inflation environment and distinguish real cost movements from nominal changes.
- Good command of English, with the ability to communicate findings to Holding management.
- Strong analytical mindset, curiosity and the ability to challenge constructively while maintaining effective relationships with different company teams.
- Experience in retail, distribution, automotive or FMCG is an advantage.
- No restriction on domestic or international travel.
