Are you looking for both analytical and business challenges? Are you interested in working with change management? We are currently looking for a Business Controller and offer good development opportunities and an exciting career path. If that sounds interesting to you, we look forward to receiving your application.

The Global Shared Services (GSS) Business Control department is responsible for the process of providing efficient, reliable and proactive financial support to improve performance. We take an active part in decisions affecting the business by setting clear and challenging financial targets, conducting continuous follow-up of performance, being a constant reminder, and helping to prioritize actions. It is our challenge to "make numbers talk" by communicating relevant financial analysis to the right people at the right time in order to clarify financial implications of possible business decisions, suggest improvements and highlight new opportunities.

Your profile
We are looking for someone with a degree in Finance and at least five years' experience of working as a controller. Alternatively, you can have an IT background and an interest in Business Control. It is desirable that you have experience as a controller of IT cost, operating in an environment that involves operations in multiple countries, change projects and business case development. It is also advantageous if you have experience from change management and/or leading projects. Excellent communication skills in English, both written and verbal are a prerequisite, as is good knowledge of MS Office. Knowledge in Swedish is advantageous.

As a person you are motivated and gladly take the initiative when needed; you get activities started, follow them up and show results. You have the ability to analyze numbers and to communicate matters of financial importance to non-financial colleagues and management at different levels. You take a strategic approach and have good leadership qualities: you are perceptive, can create trusting cooperation in a natural manner and can inspire and motivate your co-workers, creating team spirit and enthusiasm for reaching the business goals. Further, you are analytical and able to ask critical questions; you influence decisions and take part in managing change in an unassuming manner.

We actively work to create a workplace that is characterized by diversity and inclusion.
