- Reduce manual work through simplification, standardization and automation
- Promote harmonization of data definitions, reporting logic and performance metrics across Finance, HR and Operations
- Ensure solutions are robust, documented and sustainable over time rather than dependent on manual workarounds or individual knowledge

Who you are

- Able to translate data into actionable insights

You will have:
- Taken ownership of a significant portion of recurring reporting activities previously performed in Switzerland

Why join us?
This is not a traditional reporting role.
You will progressively take ownership of reporting activities while helping automate and simplify them. Your success will be measured not only by the quality of the reporting you deliver, but also by the efficiency improvements and analytical capabilities you enable across the Controlling team.
You will work closely with experienced Controllers in Switzerland and gain exposure to budgeting, forecasting, performance management, business partnering and finance transformation initiatives.
