Plant Controller

Your contribution to something big
Do you enjoy understanding what really drives performance in a manufacturing business, rather than simply reporting the numbers?
As our Plant Controller, you will work at the intersection of finance and manufacturing, partnering closely with Plant Management and colleagues across production, logistics, engineering and other functions.
You will turn financial and operational data into insights that support better decisions, stronger performance and continuous improvement. This is a hands-on controlling role where you can build a broad understanding of our manufacturing operation and have a real impact on how we manage costs, investments and performance.
Your key responsibilities
Business partnering: Act as a financial partner to Plant Management and cost center owners. Provide analysis, challenge assumptions and translate financial performance into clear insights and actions.
Planning & forecasting: Drive key parts of our business planning, budgeting and forecasting processes, including cost centers, Capex, production volumes, headcount and product costs.
Manufacturing performance: Analyze manufacturing costs, productivity and operational deviations. Work with the organization to understand root causes and identify appropriate countermeasures.
Product costing: Lead Planned Product Cost (PPC) calculations, follow Actual Product Costs (APC) and analyze the operational and financial drivers behind deviations.
Investments, assets & inventory: Support investment planning and follow-up, fixed asset management, inventory valuation, physical stocktaking and continuous inventory control.
Reporting & continuous improvement: Drive monthly and annual plant performance reporting while continuously improving our processes, reporting, dashboards and use of SAP and other digital tools.
What distinguishes you
You have a degree in Business Administration, Finance, Accounting, Industrial Engineering and Management, or a comparable field, together with experience in controlling, financial analysis or a related finance role.
Experience from manufacturing or another industrial environment is particularly valuable.
We are looking for someone with:
Strong analytical skills and confidence working with financial and operational data
Experience with budgeting, forecasting, cost accounting or operational reporting
Good knowledge of Microsoft Excel
Experience working with ERP systems. SAP experience, particularly within controlling or manufacturing processes, is an advantage
Professional working proficiency in English, both written and spoken. Swedish is an advantage, but not a requirement
Experience with product costing, Power BI, automation or other data-analysis tools is an advantage, but you do not need to tick every box. We value your ability to learn, understand the business and turn data into meaningful insights.
Who you are
You are curious about the business behind the numbers. When you see a deviation, your instinct is not simply to report it. You want to understand why it happened, what is driving it and what we can do about it.
You are comfortable asking questions, challenging assumptions and collaborating across functions to find solutions. You can explain financial concepts clearly to colleagues outside Finance and combine strong analytical thinking with a practical mindset.
You take ownership of your work, build strong relationships and are motivated by understanding how a manufacturing business works and how Finance can help make it better.
