About the Role

(Senior) Controller Operations

The Opportunity

This is a plant controlling role with genuine influence: the person in this role will act as a business partner to plant management, with their analysis directly informing decisions on cost, capacity and investment at the site, rather than producing reports that sit unread. The employer pays according to the metal and electrical industry collective agreement, offers 30 days of holiday, flexible working hours, and support with childcare costs.

The Role

  • Own operations controlling for a production site, including cost and efficiency analysis and KPI reporting for both plant and headquarters.
  • Prepare monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements and management reports for the entity.
  • Build and manage budgets, forecasts and medium-term planning for the site.
  • Run variance analyses across materials, personnel, manufacturing and cost centre costs, and turn findings into concrete action.
  • Calculate and maintain machine hour rates, surcharge and billing rates, and prepare the annual cost calculation.
  • Ensure correct cost allocation and inventory valuation.
  • Manage assets and working capital, and identify measures to optimise liquidity.
  • Identify efficiency gains and cost drivers across the plant.
  • Help shape the site's controlling processes and tools going forward.
  • Work closely with production, quality and logistics teams, with visibility across the whole site.

What You'll Need

  • Around 5+ years of experience in operations or plant controlling.
  • A solid understanding of production processes.
  • Strong knowledge of cost accounting, calculation and inventory valuation.
  • Good working knowledge of German GAAP (HGB) and IFRS.
  • Experience with ERP systems such as SAP, and very strong Excel skills.
  • Good German and English language skills.
