As Compensation & Benefits Controller, you will, in addition to your daily interaction with colleagues in Finance, People Operations and Legal, collaborate with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders. You will be responsible for managing all aspects of global payroll processing to ensure timely and accurate payment of employee wages in close collaboration with our external salary providers. As we operate in several countries around the world, you will regularly communicate with various consultants and providers to navigate local rules and regulations. We expect you to be able to independently and proactively identify issues and solutions as well as continuously look for opportunities to clarify, simplify and automate processes. You will be reporting directly to our CFO, Thomas Brebøl Christensen.

Your key responsibilities

• Process monthly payrolls for all employees, ensuring accuracy and global compliance.
• Payroll-related tasks such as bonus calculations, applying for reimbursements, and administration of benefits.
• Maintain and update the salary process, and ensure it is as automated as possible.
• Ensure payroll audit controls and formalized processes are in place.
• Assist with year-end payroll processes and any audit-related matters.
• Handle payroll-related inquiries from colleagues, e.g., guidance in holiday balances/registrations.
• Update data in relation to parental leave, onboarding, and offboarding.
• Onboarding of new payroll solutions around the world.
• Assist with visa applications.
• Collaborate with People Operations to ensure optimal on- and offboarding processes as well as maintaining accurate master data.
• Collaborate with Legal in relation to e.g. employment related matters and interpretation of various policies.

The role will evolve as MFT Energy evolves and depending on your specific experience and qualifications.

Your qualifications and personal skills
We are looking for a Compensation & Benefits Controller who is independent, proactive, and service-focused, with a strong commitment to delivering high-quality and timely results.

More specifically, we imagine that you have:

• Relevant educational background.

• Knowledge of best practice payroll procedures and tax regulations is required, whereas knowledge of Danish (and international) employment law is an advantage.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills and excellent attention to detail.
• The ability to work independently and structure your workload.
