Who are you?
We imagine you have a solid academic background in finance and at least five years of hands-on experience in Supply Chain or production controlling, ideally within a manufacturing or FMCG environment. You do not just understand the financial side – you genuinely understand how supply chains work, where costs come from and what drives key production KPIs such as OEE and production losses.
Your technical foundation is strong: you are comfortable with standard cost build-up, overhead allocations and complex cost models. You are highly proficient in SAP, and experience with SAP BW/4HANA and Power BI is a significant advantage. You work confidently with large datasets and advanced Excel.
But technical skills are only part of the picture. You are able to zoom out, translate complex data into clear narratives and make people understand not just what the numbers say – but why it matters. You question, you propose, and you bring ideas to the table.
On a personal level, we are looking for someone who:
- Is analytically sharp and detail-oriented but can also lift their gaze and see the bigger picture.
- Communicates clearly and confidently with senior stakeholders, including C-suite level.
- Is curious, proactive and genuinely motivated by understanding cost drivers in depth.
- Works independently, takes ownership and contributes to a positive, high-energy team environment.
- Has the ambition and maybe even potential to grow into a broader role over time.
English proficiency is required. Danish is not a must.
