Your mission

Collaborate closely with our CFO and the Finance & Commercial teams, supporting both operational and strategic finance topics.
Prepare and follow up on meetings with investors, partners, and internal stakeholders.
Automate and optimize reporting and finance workflows using our current digital tools (Excel, HubSpot, Moss, DATEV) – and help us identify and implement new solutions for continuous improvement.
Support in financial modelling, budgeting, and the development of dashboards and KPI monitoring for business reviews.
Take ownership of ad-hoc projects and special topics within finance and operations, swiftly adapting to new challenges and driving solutions as needs arise.
Act as an information hub between finance, commercial, and operations – making critical insights accessible for the whole team.

What’s in it for you?
