Financial Controller & Project Manager 100%

This field of activity inspires you

In this role, you will work directly with the Head of Controlling & Projects and support the further development of controlling and its associated processes. At the same time, you ensure that cross-departmental projects do not stop at good ideas, but are successfully implemented.
Your everyday life moves between financial controlling, reporting, process improvements, and project management. You analyze connections, create transparency, and ensure that decisions are based on reliable figures. The position combines practical financial controlling with disciplined project coordination.

• You create trust in the numbers

You verify valuations, provisions, and accruals. You ensure that significant items are documented comprehensibly and correctly represented.

• You explain business results

You analyze discrepancies between trading systems and financial accounting. When numbers do not match, you find the cause and make connections understandable.

• You provide a basis for decisions

You prepare management reports on margins, costs, cash flow, and working capital. In doing so, you show not only the numbers but also the reasons behind them.

• You support Accounting with the monthly closing

You coordinate the monthly closing across Trading, Logistics, Treasury, and Accounting. You track open points, ensure deadlines are met, and bring topics to clarification before they become a problem.

• You identify risks early

Missing invoices, old provisions, inventory differences, or unrealistic cost estimates stand out to you before they influence the quality of the results.

• You further develop processes

You document workflows, define standards, and ensure that processes function in an understandable, practical, and sustainable manner.

• You bring projects to their goal

You coordinate finance and system projects, adhere to milestones, document decisions, and ensure that agreed measures are implemented.

• Very good Excel skills and experience with ERP and reporting systems
• Very good German and English skills in spoken and written form
• Other languages (French, Spanish, Portuguese) are a plus
• You are a particularly good fit for us if you work in a structured manner, can make complex topics understandable, and do not just take on responsibility, but also see it through to the end.
• Work permit for Switzerland (incl. EU)

What makes the position special

• On the move internationally, even without a suitcase - You work in an international trading company and are regularly in exchange with colleagues and business partners from various countries. No two days are the same because markets, projects, and challenges are constantly in motion.

• Ideas that make a difference - You work closely with decision-makers. When you recognize potential for improvement, you can address it directly and actively implement it, instead of waiting for long approval processes.
• Modern employment conditions - We offer you attractive social benefits and contemporary j4id10452346jm j4it1043jm j4iy26jm
