- Excellent knowledge of financial processes, controlling, and reporting
- Strong interest in developing controlling and reporting processes in a global setting
- Hands-on experience with Netsuite and business intelligence tools (preferably Power BI, including implementation projects)

- Top-tier Excel skills
- Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to coach and collaborate across functions and cultures

Bonus points if you also:

- Have experience working in a fast-growing SaaS or technology scale-up environment

## WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH

We are proactive, independent, and solution-oriented doers who spot opportunities for improvement and take initiative. We are humble, unafraid to ask for help, and ready to tackle both routine tasks and major projects with equal enthusiasm. You will be expected to work confidently with C-level stakeholders, raising critical issues when needed while maintaining a strong grasp of the bigger business picture.
