Director of Business Control

Within Sandvik Group, we’re passionate about development and advanced technology, and we always aim to offer the best possible experience for our customers. Right now, we’re taking an exciting step in transforming our market-leading business even further within the area of stone crushers and screening equipment for the mining and construction industries. We do this by founding an independent, growth-oriented and customer-centric Business Area by the name of Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions. A place of inclusive collaboration, agility and innovation - where we nurture an ever-growing portfolio of products and solutions based on the needs of the market, and where pioneering software technology meets the core of manufacturing.


For Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions, we’re looking for a talented and experienced Director of Business Control - a role that requires an organized, balanced and networking financial partner with a strong ethical compass and a passion for business. A unique opportunity to join us on this exciting transformation journey, where you truly get to impact our direction by making numbers talk and establishing profitable business plans. Are you eager to shape the future of manufacturing? Then we really want you on board!


Let’s talk about your mission
This is a central and diverse position with global exposure. You’re an important advisor to our business area management team, and you support us in establishing successful business plans and decision making. You have a key role in analyzing, reporting, consolidating and forecasting the performance and results from a financial point of view, and you provide both ad hoc and proactive input to drive profitable growth and capital efficiency. Your business-mind and analytical strength are cornerstones as you consider key indicators and financial scenarios. You combine small details with the bigger picture to get a full understanding of how to enhance our operations and, with your financial knowledge, you’re truly engaged in preparing and challenging investment business cases, as well as key change projects - including M&As.


You’re a strong promoter of excellent collaborations, and for us, this means working closely with all our stakeholders and other members of the finance community. You also look at financial trends and possible impacts to the business, and you keep an eye on market development - including automation and technical improvements of financial processes - to make sure we stay on top of our game. By connecting people, processes and financial insights, you’re a business partner to rely on!


You report to the Vice President and CFO of Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions, and this position is based in the Svedala/Malmö area, although Stockholm or other locations could be discussed. Some international travel is normally included in your job.


And what about you?
We’re looking for someone with a degree in Finance or Business Administration, combined with strong business acumen and a solid financial background of managing companies within a corporate environment. You have at least ten years’ experience from working in a complex and global finance setting, including managerial exposure, and you’re skilled in leading the way and interacting with stakeholders in global organizations. Previous experiences from M&A’s are highly valued, as is an understanding of the mining and construction industry. We operate worldwide, and this calls for an open mind and cultural awareness – you’re used to working cross both functions and borders and you need excellent communication skills in English.


By balancing strategy with tactics, you help grow our business, and you challenge, influence and guide us towards a strong future where high performance is key. Your analytical capabilities, business mindset and the courage to initiate actions also make sure that you get things done in this dynamic and fast paced environment. You lead us in a transparent, straight forward and empowering way and you establish a truly collaborative environment across all parts of our organization. Add a passion for improvements and development, and you’re the ideal match for this job!
