Site Controller I

Why this role matters

Are you a finance professional who wants to be close to the operation and directly influence business performance? At GXO Logistics in Oss, you will act as the financial business partner for the site. Reporting to the Manager Business Control, you will work closely with the Site Manager, operational leadership and other key stakeholders. 

You will provide clear financial insights, challenge performance and translate operational developments into their financial impact. By identifying risks, opportunities and key cost drivers, you will support informed decision-making and help the site improve its financial and operational results. 

This is a hands-on controlling position for someone who combines strong analytical skills with business awareness, ownership and the confidence to advise and challenge stakeholders. 

What’s in it for you

We offer a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package, aligned with your experience and background. We will be happy to explain the full package and applicable conditions during the recruitment process. The package includes:

• A pension scheme via GXO and a comprehensive leave package.
• A performance-related bonus scheme, travel allowance, laptop and smartphone, subject to the applicable GXO policies.
• A responsible 32 to 40-hour position with direct exposure to site leadership in an international and rapidly growing organization.
• Opportunities for personal development and career growth.
• A positive and collaborative working environment with plenty of room for initiative, ownership and responsibility.

How you’ll make an impact

• Act as the financial business partner for the Site Manager and operational leadership team, reporting to the Manager Business Control.
• Advise stakeholders on financial, controlling and broader business-related matters.
• Manage and analyze the site’s full P&L performance.
• Identify financial risks, opportunities and key cost drivers, and recommend corrective actions.
• Lead the budgeting and forecasting processes for the site.
• Coordinate month-end and year-end closing activities and ensure accurate, complete and timely reporting.
• Translate operational performance into meaningful financial insights and constructively challenge stakeholders.
• Work with cross-functional teams on initiatives that improve financial and operational performance.

What you’ll bring to GXO

• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in Finance, Business Economics or a related field.
• At least three years of relevant experience in business control, financial control or a comparable finance position.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to translate data into practical business insights.
• Experience with budgeting, forecasting, financial reporting and P&L analysis.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills. You are fluent in English, both written and spoken. You will work in an international environment, while Dutch is also widely spoken across the site. Dutch language skills are therefore an advantage, but not a requirement.
• Affinity with logistics, supply chain or another operational environment; relevant sector experience is an advantage, but not essential.
• Experience working with an ERP system and the ability to quickly become familiar with new financial systems.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, as Excel is used extensively in the finance processes and forms an important part of your daily work.
• The confidence to advise and constructively challenge operational stakeholders.

Your work environment

Working at GXO Logistics means being part of a dynamic and international organization where finance and operations work closely together. This role is primarily based at our site in Oss, where you will work directly with site leadership and contribute to decisions that affect financial performance, operational efficiency and future development. Any flexibility to work from home depends on the requirements of the role and the operation. With a strong focus on customer satisfaction, employee development and innovation, GXO is proud to be one of the world’s leading logistics providers.
