About the job

At Endress+Hauser, progress happens through collaboration. As a world-leading provider of measuring instruments, our approximately 18,000 employees shape the future in the field of process automation. Whether innovating and implementing new technologies as a team, collaborating in the development of new devices, or strengthening important relationships with various global industries: our work is based on building trusting relationships that help everyone succeed. As a family-run company, we look beyond short-term goals and work to create a future-oriented vision for our employees, our customers, and the world in general.

We are looking for a Group Controlling Specialist to complement our team and actively shape the financial development of our company with sound analyses, transparent reporting, and future-oriented management tools. In this role, you will contribute to enabling well-founded management decisions and advancing the development of our international finance landscape.

Our finance organisation creates transparency, supports sustainable growth, and provides the financial foundation for strategic decisions. In doing so, we work closely with our international subsidiaries and promote a uniform, efficient, and future-oriented management across country and functional boundaries.

What is the role about?

As a Group Controller, you take responsibility for central topics in controlling and create transparency about the financial performance of our international business. You work hands-on with financial data, P&Ls, cost structures, and relevant KPIs, identify the key drivers behind financial developments, and derive clear insights and recommendations for management.

In doing so, you work closely with our international subsidiaries and finance colleagues and independently drive selected reporting, planning, and improvement topics forward. At the same time, you help shape the further development of our group controlling landscape, especially through standardisation, automation, and digitalisation.

The position thus combines sound financial analysis, international collaboration, and the opportunity to actively develop group controlling.

What tasks will you take on?

You will:

• be responsible for and drive selected group controlling topics in the areas of financial analysis, management reporting, planning, and forecasting.
• analyse P&Ls, cost structures, and financial KPIs, identify key performance drivers and deviations, and derive clear insights and action recommendations for management.
• work directly with our international subsidiaries, constructively question financial developments, and ensure consistent and high-quality group reporting.
• work hands-on with financial data and systems, especially SAP, Excel, as well as our consolidation and reporting tools, and investigate the causes behind financial developments.
• initiate and implement improvements to our controlling and reporting processes with a focus on standardisation, efficiency, transparency, automation, and digitalisation.
• actively shape the further development of group controlling and take responsibility for improvement initiatives in collaboration with international finance colleagues and other functions.

What do we expect from you?

You have:

• a degree in business administration, finance, controlling, accounting, or a comparable field, as well as several years of relevant professional experience in controlling.
• experience in an international manufacturing or industrial company and a good understanding of P&L, cost structures, financial KPIs, and the key drivers of a manufacturing company.
• solid practical experience in financial analysis, management reporting, planning, and forecasting; experience in group controlling and knowledge of IFRS are advantageous.
• strong analytical and conceptual skills as well as the curiosity to look beyond the numbers, understand contexts, question matters constructively, and derive clear action recommendations.
• a proactive, structured, and solution-oriented working style with a high degree of personal responsibility, as well as the ability to successfully collaborate in German and English with different countries, cultures, and functions.
• very good Excel skills and a strong affinity for systems and data; practical experience with SAP as well as consolidation, reporting, or BI tools is advantageous.

What can you expect from us?

• We are a family-run company with great commitment and a sustainable vision.
• We promote lifelong learning through diverse training and development opportunities, internal knowledge transfer, and e-learning.
• We offer you an international working environment with close collaboration across country and functional boundaries.
• We give you the opportunity to contribute your own ideas and actively shape the digitalisation and further development of our finance processes.
• We value a balanced work-life balance and support flexible working arrangements.
• We work in an open, collegial environment characterised by trust, appreciation, and mutual support.
