Strategic Finance Controller

Job Description

Job Ref ID: JR0088504

 

YOUR MISSION

Based in Belgrade, you'll partner with Serbia's Finance Manager to own the country's financial performance engine; running the monthly re-forecasting cycle, owning the cash flow model, and leading the sessions that align every department on the plan and targets. Your judgment keeps the numbers credible and the organization accountable.
 

THE JOURNEY 

• Best Estimate: Own the re-forecasting process; from inputs to final numbers, with a clear narrative on drivers and deviations.

• Profitability sessions: Lead the recurrent sessions aligning every department on the plan and targets; drive alignment directly with department heads and push follow-ups to closure.

• Strategic projects: Lead workstreams spanning finance, Ops, Commercial, Marketing, Legal, country, or regional teams.

• Business profitability: profitability analysis of Commercial contracts

• Insight & analysis: Own the reliable-data agenda, build business cases, and challenge P&Ls for senior stakeholders.

• Tooling: Maintain and enhance dashboards in BigQuery/Looker. Using AI tools (Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, or similar) daily is required; not just to speed up analysis, but to build clearer frameworks and move faster. Real work with AI, not just occasional use.

Qualifications

WHAT YOU WILL BRING TO THE RIDE

• Strategic and hands-on: You take ownership; not just analysis, but making things move forward and land. You challenge assumptions, drive actions, and measure yourself by real-world impact.

• Problem solving: Break ambiguous, high-stakes questions into components, define hypotheses, run analysis, and l and on recommendations stakeholders can act on.

• Stakeholder management: Comfortable driving alignment with department heads directly, including pushing back when the numbers don't add up.

• Prioritization & ownership: Own workstreams end-to-end, from analysis to follow-through, and hold yourself accountable to outcomes, not just outputs.

• Communication: Clear, structured storytelling, decision-ready one-pagers and crisp live readouts.

• Collaboration: You elevate teammates, share context, and document logic and assumptions for repeatability.

• Experience: 5+ years in FP&A, strategy, controlling, consulting, or a fast-paced analytical role, ideally with exposure to reforecasting or cash flow modeling. Degree in Finance, Economics, Business, or related.

• Tools: BigQuery/Looker and daily AI tool use required; SAP, Pantheon or Business Central, nice-to-have.

• Language: English required.
