Senior Controller (all genders)

Cologne, Remote (Germany)
Full-time
Permanent employee

Your creative field

We are looking for a full-time, permanent Senior Controller (all genders) to start as soon as possible. We live remote-first, but you have the freedom to choose whether you want to work hybrid or completely on-site due to your proximity to one of our locations. 


As our Senior Controller (all genders), you own the financial performance of your business areas and brands and turn complex data into analysis that shapes decisions. You report to the Head of Controlling and work closely with the CFO and senior management.


Together with the existing team, you analyze complex data and produce forecasts that form the basis for important business decisions. You own the budget, forecast, and long-range plan and develop investment cases, for example, for the expansion of our data centers, including ROI and payback. You also contribute to the strategic direction and further develop the controlling function together with the team.


Alongside your core responsibilities, you work on projects around our business intelligence tool. You build up technical controlling, with a focus on infrastructure and investments, largely independently, connect additional data sources, and automate recurring reporting, including with the help of AI.


You spot early where utilization, costs or investments deviate from plan and work out measures to course-correct. We are growing fast, we are capital-intensive, and priorities shift with the business. That means you take on responsibility early and help shape processes that are still being built. You will be part of a great team that can tackle any challenge with its expertise.

What convinces us

Your personality, paired with:

  • a bachelor's degree in business administration with a focus on controlling, or an equivalent commercial apprenticeship with relevant professional experience
  • at least 5 years of professional experience in controlling, ideally in the hosting or telecommunications industry
  • solid hands-on experience in reporting, forecasting, financial modeling, and scenario and sensitivity analysis
  • experience with business cases and investment appraisals whose results have influenced decisions
  • very good proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially Excel, and experience with a business intelligence tool (ideally Power BI); knowledge of financial systems such as D365 or Lucanet is a plus
  • strong teamwork skills and an analytical, structured, and results-oriented approach to your work
  • good self-organization, including under deadlines and shifting priorities, and clear communication with your team and stakeholders
  • the motivation to advance our controlling function through new processes and additional tools, including AI-supported ones
  • very good command of German and English
 
We know that you may not currently meet all the requirements. But if you come to us with the right amount of commitment and enthusiasm, we can take off together and make a big difference.
