  • Advising Management and Operations on business performance.
  • Identifying and developing initiatives to improve profitability.
  • Optimizing processes around work in progress and gross margin.

Controlling & risk monitoring

  • Proactively monitoring the balance sheet and identifying risks in a timely manner.
  • Ensuring correct forecast and budget processes via SAP BPC.

  • Comfortable in a fast-growing, changing international environment.
  • Ownership, accuracy, and deadlines do not intimidate you.
