This role gives you the opportunity to substantially advance our controlling structures — from cost transparency all the way to integrated planning.

• Cost & Profitability Transparency: You create transparency around OPEX, payment costs, regional contribution margin accounting, and profitability analyses
• Reporting & Month-End Close: You support the monthly and quarterly close from a controlling perspective, comment on cost and earnings developments, and further develop management and business-unit reporting
• Systems, Automation & AI: You drive the integration of financials into our data landscape, automate manual processes, and develop AI-supported analysis and commentary workflows
• Financial Governance: You ensure consistent financial logic (segments, P&L structure, forecast logic) in alignment with BI and Accounting
