Head of Finance Transformation & Controlling

Banking hasn’t changed much in decades. We’re changing that. One product at a time.

Lunar is a Nordic challenger bank building the future of financial life with AI at the core. Our engineers, designers, and product people work on problems that actually matter. Making money simpler, smarter, and more rewarding for millions of people across the Nordics.

Fully licensed and founded in 2015, with offices in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Stockholm.

We move fast, we build with purpose, and we’re just getting started.

As our new Head of Finance Transformation & Controlling you’ll join the Finance team based in Copenhagen, reporting to Britta, Director of Finance Operations, working to rebuild how Lunar’s finance function reports, closes and runs on data.

What will you do?

• Lead our Business Central migration end-to-end — design, chart of accounts mapping, dimensions, and the deadline that comes with it

• Own management reporting and drive the close towards a business-day-five target, with automation replacing manual work

• Own group consolidation and IFRS 9 expected credit loss model readiness, from new accounts through to audit readiness

• Design the controls and segregation-of-duties framework that Accounting operates — one framework, not two competing ones

• Run the data quality programme and get cross-functional data ownership agreed across Finance, Tech and Product

What are we looking for in you?

• Experience leading a finance transformation programme in a bank or another regulated financial institution — and taking it to completion

• Hands-on experience of an ERP implementation or migration, with real ownership of chart of accounts and dimension design

• Strong controlling background: management reporting, consolidation, cost control and close acceleration

• Working knowledge of IFRS 9 expected credit loss modelling, or the quantitative grounding and appetite to own it

• Ability to influence across Finance, Tech and Product without line authority — much of this role is landing decisions that aren’t yours to make alone

What you get (aka. Benefits and perks)

• 4 days in the office. We’re a team that builds together, thinks together, and moves together. Showing up is part of how we work.

• State of the art equipment. The newest computer, monitor, mouse, and keyboard. We want you to do your best work without anything slowing you down.

• Pension, health insurance, and enhanced parental leave. From your financial future to your family moments. We’ve got you covered.

• A build with an end date, on purpose. Transformation is meant to hand itself over to business-as-usual within roughly two years, while Controlling continues as a permanent capability. We’d rather say that up front than pretend otherwise.
