Financial Controller

About this opportunity


Ericsson has established a separate legal entity structure to enable the company to contribute to open source communities without affecting its IP portfolio. In this focus, Ericsson has setup a few separate software entities in key R&D locations where the entities are operating to facilitate open source contribution. Collectively, these entities are known as Ericsson Software Technology (EST). EST is comprised of 5 legal entities; ESH, the holding company; ESO, the Swedish entity; ESY, the Irish Entity; ESJ, the Finnish entity; and ESZ, the U.S.A. entity.


EST provides a challenging and dynamic environment for a Company Controller to establish needed structures and drive change in a developing multinational organization. Collectively, the EST entities are home to approximately 65 employees. In addition, EST contracts to EAB for an additional 40 FTEs, and with other outside Consulting Companies for an additional 20 FTEs.


EST provides open source development services across all of EAB’s BAs and some MAs as well. In addition, noted above, EST also contracts services from EAB and several external consulting firms.
We are looking for an individual with a natural aptitude to drive entity operations as a Company Controller, implementing improvement from a global perspective and with a variety of internal and external stakeholder interactions. Familiarity with Ericsson corporate operations, methods and procedures will be highly valued in a successful candidate.
