  • Design and enhance reporting, planning applications, financial data models and data-transformation processes
  • Simplify, standardise and automate reporting and planning processes, partnering with Finance, business functions and Technology
  • Support colleagues in using management information and analytical tools effectively, and contribute to cross-functional analyses and projects.

 What we're looking for:

  • Strong knowledge of accounting principles and financial reporting standards, including US GAAP or IFRS
  • Hands-on experience with BI and analytics tools such as Qlik Sense or Power BI, including data modelling and ETL processes

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to turn complex data into actionable insights
  • Clear communication and presentation skills in English; German is an advantage
  • Proactive, independent and improvement-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic environment.

This is what you'll get:

A role with visible impact on business performance and management decision-making.

  • 👍 Firstly, perhaps the most important thing: A positive working atmosphere. We’re really different. We’ve tried to make this tangible for you here.
  • 🥳 After work: We can really let it rip sometimes. Our summer barbecues and Christmas parties are legendary. We really have a lot of fun here. But we don’t mistake it for “laissez-faire”. On the contrary: Enjoying what we do is what drives us to perform at our best.
