Our primary task is to calculate P&L for our trading teams and ensure a correct month-end close. We analyse and report P&L and other financial numbers, working with large datasets using SQL, VBA and Power BI. In the team, we focus on continuously optimising our processes, tools and ways of working, always looking for optimal solutions. This includes building and optimising our solutions for result calculations, month-end close and analyses.

You will join a motivated and committed team of 18 specialists in total within controlling, organised in three sub-teams, where you will manage one of them. We are a diverse and international team that enjoys spending time together - from doing sports to going out for dinner.
