About the Role:

We’re looking for a Business Controller – Purchasing / Procurement who combines financial insight with analytical strength and a passion for operational excellence. In this role, you’ll act as a strategic partner to our Purchasing and Procurement teams, providing transparency on performance, driving cost optimization, and enabling data-based decision-making. You’ll help ensure that purchasing activities align with our strategic, financial, and operational goals — delivering real value across the organization.

• Identify cost-saving opportunities and support strategic sourcing initiatives, ensuring effective tracking of purchase prices, supplier terms, and contract conditions.
• Conduct detailed data analyses and forecasting on material costs, purchasing trends, and supply chain risks to support proactive decision-making.
• Contribute to budget planning and forecasting, preparing annual budgets for the purchasing area, tracking variances, and explaining deviations.
• Drive process improvement by developing and optimizing purchasing processes, reporting tools, and data flows — in close collaboration with Procurement, Finance, and Supply Chain teams.
• Act as a financial sparring partner to the Head of Purchasing and key stakeholders, translating complex data into actionable recommendations.

About you:

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Finance, Business Administration, or a related field.
• 3–5 years of experience in Business Controlling or Financial Analysis, ideally within Purchasing, Procurement, or Supply Chain environments.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to turn complex data into clear, actionable insights.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel and experience with Power BI, PowerQuery, and/or PowerPivot.
• A structured, proactive, and collaborative mindset, with excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Fluency in English; German is a plus.
