What we’re looking for:

• Minimum 3 years of professional experience in Finance, such as FP&A, GL, R2R, or Controlling.
• Solid analytical mindset, proactive approach, and passion for problem-solving.
• Strong communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, including experience working with senior stakeholders.
• Advanced Excel skills; experience with SAP, Hyperion, Blackline, COUPA, or VBA is a plus.
• Fluent English both spoken and written.
