We’re looking for a Senior Operational Business Controller to be a key partner to our Operations Director and leadership team – driving data-driven decisions and efficiency improvements across our entire supply chain. What you'll do You’ll join a passionate team that combines operational thinking with financial excellence to deliver outstanding value through a world-class delivery network. In this high-impact role, you will own the "cost side" of our operations, ensuring our growth is as efficient as it is fast.

You provide the proactive analyses, cost-benefit evaluations, and recommendations that guide everything from daily terminal adjustments to long-term strategic investments.

You likely come from a high-growth, high-complexity environment such as logistics, e-commerce, or manufacturing. The Analytical Mindset: You are highly structured and "obsessed" with numbers.

You have a proven ability to build autonomous reporting solutions and automate data workflows, allowing you to shift focus from repetitive tasks to high-value, proactive analysis. Operational Curiosity: You have strong business acumen and a natural interest in supply chain management and process optimization. You enjoy being close to the physical business, the people who run it and are excited by the opportunity to set new processes and ways of working. Collaborative Influence: You are a master of "financial storytelling," making complex data intuitive for stakeholders at all levels. You have the integrity and pedagogical skill to constructively challenge and support budget owners, even those without a financial background. What you’ll get We can promise you that you will be challenged, develop your skills and have the opportunity to work with truly amazing and competent colleagues. If you like changes and want to set new processes and ways of working - this is the place for you! Of course, we have all the necessary and standard benefits in place, but in addition to this, we can also offer: 🌇 Sky-High Office: Modern and newly renovated with a 360-degree view around Stockholm. 🐶 Puppy Friendly: Bring your dog to work - we've got a whole floor for our furry friends! 🏓 Fun & Games: Ping pong, Shuffleboard, Foosball, and even a Karaoke Room for your leisure time. 👶 Parental Pay for Six Months: Step away from work and provide the best care and love to your little one. 🎂 A Day Off on Your Birthday: We love to celebrate, so enjoy your birthday to the fullest with a day off each year! ⏰ Hybrid setup and flexible working hours.
