Your character
We’re looking for someone with an extensive background in a similar role within finance and or strategy, most likely from the consulting side – and even more beneficially, within the manufacturing industry. Depending on the experience you’ve gained, we consider approximately 2-4 years in the business as a minimum. Regardless of your work history, you’ve built yourself a good Strategy and M&A toolbox that you use independently. You hold a relevant university degree, such as Business, Economics, or Finance, while a master’s degree is beneficial. Having an in-depth knowledge of all aspects of financial analysis, you’re also experienced working with cross-functional global teams. Our corporate language is English, so both verbal and written fluency is a must.
Your soft skills are as crucial as your hard skills, and as a true team player, you genuinely understand the importance of collaboration. Professionally acting around a board-level audience and our other important stakeholders, you use your communication skills to shape the storyline and message in a way that’s easy for your stakeholders to catch. In addition, you’ve developed a solid self-leadership, meaning you take responsibility and ownership of your actions and duties, and you’re not afraid to dig into some operational work whenever needed.
You thrive when learning new things, embracing initiatives, and challenging yourself to grow every day. And while demonstrating strong adaptability skills, you see obstacles as challenges – exclusively focusing on solutions rather than problems. While translating strategies to facilitate processes and priorities, you truly challenge us to think one step ahead, always with consistency and quality in mind!
