Business Controller

Nordic Investin has been engaged by a partner company to find a Business Controller. You want to be involved before the decision, when analysis can still change the outcome.

The partner needs a business controller to support a commercial or operational unit with planning, performance analysis and decision support. You will connect financial results with the drivers behind them and help leaders choose where to focus.

Controlling is expected to connect financial results with the operational and commercial drivers behind them. The strongest analysis leads to a clearer choice, an owned action and disciplined follow up rather than another unexplained report.

How you will work

You will work close to the stakeholders responsible for revenue, cost, projects or operations. The partner expects you to test assumptions, explain uncertainty and translate analysis into a small number of useful actions. Credibility will come from both financial discipline and curiosity about the business.

As a senior colleague, you will own substantial outcomes and help others make stronger decisions. You are expected to recognise risk early, communicate it without drama and move work forward with practical alternatives. Seniority here means broader judgement and follow through, not distance from delivery.

What you will do

Lead budget, forecast and long range planning for the unit.

Analyse revenue, margin, cost and operational drivers.

Build decision cases and scenario models.

Challenge assumptions and follow up agreed actions.

Improve management reporting and performance measures.

Partner with leaders on priorities, risks and resource allocation.

What you will bring

Strong business controlling or commercial finance experience.

Advanced modelling and analytical capability.

Ability to connect financial and operational drivers.

Confidence challenging senior stakeholders constructively.

Experience with planning, reporting and decision support.

Professional English and persuasive communication.

Experience that would add value

Pricing, customer or product profitability.

Power BI and modern planning tools.

Experience in a fast changing or international business.

A background that can succeed here

You may have developed through financial control, accounting, consulting or operational analysis. The partner values curiosity, commercial judgement and evidence that your work influenced a decision rather than only explained a result.

What makes the opportunity interesting

You will work close to the business with access to meaningful decisions and imperfect information. The role offers room to improve how performance is understood and how finance contributes to action.

The exact partner, employment model, compensation, start date and working arrangement will be explained openly during the process. Nordic Investin will make sure you understand the context, expectations and decision path before you are asked to commit significant time.

The recruitment conversation

During the process, Nordic Investin will focus on concrete decisions you have made: the context you received, the alternatives you considered, the result you observed and what you would change today. You do not need every optional credential if your core experience transfers and you can explain how you would close the gap.

How to apply

Apply with your CV or LinkedIn profile and a short note describing the most relevant organisation, service, project or financial process you have helped improve. Nordic Investin welcomes candidates with different routes into the profession and assesses applicants on relevant capability, judgement and potential.
