• Perform analysis on customer profitability, channel performance and sales evolution, translating financial and commercial data into clear, practical insights for management

• Support forecasting, budgeting and business planning processes, collecting, consolidating and validating inputs from Sales and other stakeholders, and analysing changes versus previous estimates

• Support Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) processes, consolidating volume demand inputs, analysing volume variances and working with Finance, Sales, Supply Chain and regional teams to understand demand changes, risks and opportunities

• Ensure data consistency and quality across reports and analysis files, working with IT, shared services and internal stakeholders to improve reporting tools and identify opportunities to automate and simplify recurring reports

What you bring

• A Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Administration or a related field

• Several years of relevant experience in controlling, financial analysis, business analysis, accounting or commercial finance

• Good accounting knowledge and the ability to understand financial statements

• Solid experience with financial analysis, variance analysis and management reporting

• A good understanding of revenue, margin, costs, profitability and main business drivers

• Advanced Excel skills, including Pivot Tables, formulas and structured reporting files

• An analytical mindset and strong attention to detail; ability to work with large data sets and transform data into clear analysis

• A structured and reliable working approach, with the ability to respect deadlines and manage several priorities in a dynamic environment

• Clear and structured communication; ability to translate technical information into practical insights

• Professional English, spoken and written

• Experience working with an ERP system (such as SAP) or BI/reporting tools, or a strong willingness to develop these skills is a plus

• Experience in sales controlling, business controlling, industrial, manufacturing or B2B environments is a plus

• Exposure to S&OP or demand planning processes is a plus

• Occasional travel may be required

What we're looking for in you:

You are proactive, curious about commercial drivers, and genuinely enjoy problem-solving. You take pride in delivering reliable analysis that supports good business decisions. You work well independently and as part of a team, and you are keen to learn, improve processes, and grow within the role. You bring a practical mindset—focused on useful analysis rather than complex reports—and you adapt well to changing priorities.
