Business Controller – Global Supply Chain and R&D
Join us at Beijer Electronics and drive financial excellence in a global, tech-driven environment!
We are a people company. Our experienced, skilled and passionate people empower customers and partners to meet their challenges through best-in-class, user-friendly solutions. And we are a technology company. We help our customers and partners optimize processes through our software, hardware and services and through our support. Connecting people and technologies provide the means to accomplish goals and ambitions and gain a competitive edge in today’s digitalized world.
Our operations span Global sales, R&D, Product Management, and Supply Chain. Our main production facility is in Taipei, supported by a supplementary site in Malmö, established in Q1 2023 to bolster supply chain resilience.
The opportunity
As Business Controller, you will play a pivotal role as the link between operational activities and financial insights. In this global role, you are responsible for all strategic and operational financial matters within Supply Chain and R&D, ensuring alignment with broader company objectives. In this role, you will have one controller in Taiwan reporting to you.
Qualifications
- R&D controlling: Ensure accurate accounting and cost treatment for ongoing R&D projects in close collaboration with the R&D team.
- Supply Chain cost analysis & controlling: Perform monthly analysis and controlling of costs related to the supply chain, including freight, materials, manufacturing, and overheads. Track actual vs. standard costs and conduct inventory analysis (standard vs. FIFO, etc.).
- Management Team collaboration: Be an integral part of both the Supply Chain and R&D management teams.
- Budget process: Support and participate in the annual budget process, ensuring alignment with financial targets and accurate forecasting for both R&D and Supply Chain functions. This also includes annual standard cost updates.
- Audit involvement: Play a key role in the audit process, ensuring smooth and accurate financial reporting.
- Ad-hoc projects: Contribute to various ad-hoc projects as required by both the Supply Chain and R&D teams.
The systems central to your role include our ERP (IFS), consolidation system (AARO), and data warehouse (Qlik Sense). You will also identify opportunities to improve processes and tools, ensuring optimal performance in your area.
The position is based in Malmö but requires occasional travel, primarily to Taiwan.
The successful applicant
To thrive in this role, you should have:
- Experience: You have at least five years of experience in controlling, ideally within an international manufacturing environment, with proven expertise in supply chain processes and product costing. Alternatively, you may have gained similar supply chain competencies from an audit perspective. If you have a strong understanding of financial systems and digital tools, combined with sharp analytical skills and relevant experience in finance, you could be a great fit – even if you have slightly fewer years of experience.
- Education: A degree in Finance, Business, or a technical field from a recognized institution.
- Skills: Exceptional analytical abilities, enabling you to interpret and transform complex financial data into actionable insights that drive decision-making.
- You are an excellent communicator in both English and Swedish, with strong business acumen to identify key financial drivers. You excel at presenting simplified, concise messages to colleagues and senior management, ensuring alignment and understanding.
- Mindset: A logical thinker with a structured, strategic approach and a passion for technology. You are motivated by improvement, enjoy managing change, and thrive in a dynamic environment.
- Cultural experience: Experience collaborating closely with diverse cultures.
Your ability to integrate financial insights into operational and strategic contexts across Supply Chain and R&D will be key to driving success in this role.
