At Sandvik Coromant, we are driven by a passion for excellence in everything we do. With our profound knowledge of metal cutting and insight into the varying challenges of different industries, we strive to develop innovative solutions in close collaboration with our customers. Together, we shape the future of manufacturing!

Within Sandvik Coromant and our Supply Finance function, we are responsible for the development and operations of financial and performance management processes, and for providing accurate analysis, support and active engagement in our production management teams. We are now looking for a team-oriented and forward-thinking Lead Business Controller for a role that covers Tools Production, and also has indirect reporting from production units globally. A key position with a global scope and many exciting interfaces – where a combination of great leadership, wide responsibilities, business involvement and the chance to truly make an impact are part of what we are offering. And all of this in a market leading industry!

Your challenge
As Lead Business Controller, you contribute to our success by managing the performance development within our Tools Production. You are an active and valued member of our Tools Management team, as well as the Supply Finance team, and by close collaboration, you set strategy and targets, and carry out goal-oriented activities. You have an important role in improving our current financial processes and you are responsible for the common performance process and reports of actual results, short and long-term outlooks, as well as for analysis and proposals of actions to eliminate deviations. Part of your responsibility is also to increase the knowledge within our organization when it comes to the financial effects of business decisions, including understanding of our consolidated business model.

With indirect reports from Sandvik Coromant’s production unit controllers, you support with competence development, best practice sharing and strengthening of our controller network. As this is a developing area, you are offered a seat in our journey to develop an exceptional team, and also to enhance our ways of working.

The location for this position is flexible, with a preference for Sandviken or one of our production sites, and international travel is normally a natural part of the job.

Your profile
We are looking for a dynamic team member with a relevant university degree, or equivalent knowledge obtained from at least five years’ experience from business controlling, including production controlling. Previously holding a leadership position - within direct or indirect management - and working with change initiatives is advantageous. To drive performance from a financial perspective, you need strong business understanding, and experience from the manufacturing industry. You also have knowledge of financial principles, rules and processes - including financial and production accounting - as well as of supporting and improving performance and compliance. As we act on a global stage, you need excellent verbal and written skills in English.

Your personality is key to us! You have both the interest and the ability to lead and motivate people in a virtual and global organization, and as a true team player, you build relationships based on honesty, respect and trust. Your good communication skills also enable you to interact with colleagues and stakeholders all across our business. By joining forces with our production managers, you drive performance and implement improvements – meaning you need a genuine curiosity when it comes to production and a visionary approach to what the control and finance function can offer to make us even better. Naturally, you are analytical, organized and passionate about numbers, and you create influential presentations supported by good arguments.
