  • Strong hands-on experience working with financial/controlling data from ERP systems (Oracle or similar) including data extraction, validation, reconciliation and structuring for reporting and analysis

  • Solid understanding of core financial reporting logic (P&L, cost centers, margin structures) to translate business logic correctly into automated and AI-driven solutions

  • Working knowledge of SQL or similar query tools; experience with Power BI or comparable BI/reporting platforms

  • Fluent English communication skills

  • Practical, implementation-oriented mindset with a focus on delivering tangible results and business impact

  • Ability to work independently, identify quick wins and drive initiatives from idea to execution

  • Flexibility to travel to our European locations (typically once per month) to support collaboration, understand local processes and drive implementation initiatives

What We Offer:

  • Opportunity to play a key role in the transformation of our European Controlling processes

  • A unique position at the intersection of Finance, AI and process automation

  • The chance to develop practical solutions that improve how financial reporting, planning and analysis are performed across the business

  • Real ownership and visibility of your work, with the opportunity to influence tools, processes and ways of working
