Financial/Business Controller

Are you an experienced finance professional who enjoys looking beyond the numbers, turning financial information into meaningful business insights and helping organisations improve their performance? Do you like working closely with both Finance and Operations in an international environment? Then this could be a great opportunity for you.

About Polygon

Welcome to Polygon Netherlands. We are part of the international Polygon Group, operating in 18 countries with more than 8,000 colleagues. In the Netherlands, around 240 colleagues work across several locations.

We specialise in preventing and restoring damage caused by fire, water and climate-related incidents. It is a unique and dynamic industry where no two days are the same and where strong collaboration, speed and quality are essential.

Working at Polygon means being part of an informal organisation with short lines of communication, plenty of responsibility and many opportunities to develop yourself further.

What you will do

As Financial/Business Controller within our International Finance Hub, you will work with finance and operational teams across Europe to create better insight into performance and support continuous improvement.

You will help translate financial information into useful business insights and work together with local teams to improve reporting, processes and decision-making.

The role combines financial analysis with business partnering and gives you the opportunity to work with different businesses, countries and ways of working.

• Analyse financial and operational performance.
• Monitor profitability, working capital and key operational KPIs.
• Improve management reporting and financial transparency.
• Turn financial information into practical business insights.
• Support forecasting and performance management.
• Help simplify and standardise reporting processes.
• Support effective internal controls and governance.
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency and performance.
• Work closely with finance and operational management.
• Share best practices between different businesses and countries.

What you bring

• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Administration or a related field.
• Experience in Financial Controlling, Business Controlling, Finance or Business Analysis.
• Understanding of management reporting, KPIs and performance management.
• Strong analytical skills.
• Experience with ERP systems, BI tools and Excel.
• A business-minded and practical approach.
• The ability to communicate financial information clearly.
• An interest in continuous improvement.

You are curious about the story behind the numbers and enjoy working with both Finance and Operations. You naturally look for ways to make information clearer, processes simpler and decision-making easier.

International mobility is an important part of this role. You will spend a significant part of your working week at our businesses elsewhere in Europe, depending on the assignment.

Fluent professional English is required. German and/or French is a strong advantage.

You must already have the legal right to work in the Netherlands.

What we offer

This is an assignment for a period of approximately 12 to 18 months. You will be employed by Polygon and will report to a manager based in Sweden. The assignment cannot be carried out on a freelance or self-employed basis.

We offer a salary that matches your experience and background. Although this is a temporary assignment, we are always interested in keeping good people within Polygon. If the assignment goes well and suitable vacancies are available, you are of course welcome to apply for other opportunities within our organisation.
