As a Senior Controller – Reporting & Insights, you will own and continuously elevate the company’s management reporting and insight generation. Your mission is to transform financial and operational data into clear narratives, actionable insights, and decision-ready reporting for senior leadership.

You will be responsible for building and refining state-of-the-art reporting standards, ensuring consistency, transparency, and relevance across all outputs. This role goes beyond compiling numbers — you will connect the dots across the business, challenge assumptions, and provide the “so what” behind performance.

Working closely with FP&A, Accounting, and business stakeholders, you will ensure that reporting becomes a true steering tool, not just a retrospective exercise.

What is your Day to Day Mission:

Management Reporting & Storytelling

  • Own and continuously improve the monthly management reporting, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and relevance

  • Drive the collection, consolidation, and quality of business commentary across all functions

  • Translate financial and operational results into a clear, structured narrative, highlighting key drivers, risks, and opportunities

  • Provide the “so what” behind the numbers, turning data into actionable insights for leadership

  • Prepare high-quality management and board-level presentations

Insights & Performance Transparency

  • Identify trends, patterns, and deviations across financial and operational data

  • Generate deep-dive analyses and ad-hoc insights on business performance

  • Act as a central point for cross-functional insight generation, connecting data across departments

  • Ensure full transparency on business performance, enabling fact-based decision-making

Operational Excellence & Automation

  • Continuously improve reporting processes, structures, and outputs towards best-in-class standards

  • Drive automation and standardisation of reporting workflows to reduce manual effort and increase speed

  • Collaborate with BI and data teams to enhance reporting capabilities and data models

  • Ensure data consistency and integrity across all reporting outputs

Stakeholder Collaboration

  • Work closely with FP&A, Accounting, and business teams to align on data, definitions, and messaging

  • Challenge and refine inputs from stakeholders to ensure high-quality, decision-relevant reporting

  • Act as a trusted partner to senior management for performance analysis and communication



What you bring to the team:

  • Have 4–7+ years of experience in Controlling, Reporting, or FP&A, with a strong focus on management reporting

  • Have a proven track record in building or improving high-quality reporting and insight frameworks

  • Are strong in financial storytelling and able to translate data into clear, compelling narratives

  • Have excellent analytical skills and a sharp eye for detail and data consistency

  • Are experienced with reporting and BI tools (e.g. Power BI, Tableau; planning tools like Anaplan are a plus)

  • Have a strong drive for process improvement, automation, and operational excellence

  • Communicate confidently with senior stakeholders and can challenge constructively

  • Fluency in English (German is a plus)

Nice to Have

  • Experience in a high-growth or transformation environment

  • Exposure to data modelling or automation tools (e.g. SQL, Python)

  • Understanding of end-to-end finance processes (FP&A, Accounting, ERP)

  • Professional qualification (e.g. CIMA, ACCA, CFA)


What Success Looks Like

  • Clear, structured, and impactful management reporting with strong narrative and insights

  • High-quality, consistent business commentary and performance transparency across the organisation

  • Reporting that enables fast, informed decision-making at leadership level

  • Efficient, automated reporting processes with minimal manual effort

  • A reputation as the go-to person for insights and performance storytelling
