• Prepare cash flow forecasts, monitor liquidity, and actively steer working capital
• Take ownership of finance systems and tools (ERP, AP, reporting), ensuring reliability while driving automation and scalability
• Ensure correct financial and commercial treatment of public funding, grants, and subsidies

Your Profile

• 8-10 years of experience in accounting and/or controlling
• Solid background in financial closing processes and audit support
