Main Responsibilities:

As Overheads Controller, you will be responsible for aligning with Group guidelines regarding overhead costs, maintaining compliance across all financial processes.

Your role involves preparing comprehensive monthly closure reports related to overheads for all relevant departments, including detailed explanations and variance analyses.

You will implement and manage sophisticated cost planning systems, utilizing both cost center and activity-based costing methodologies.

Your responsibilities include developing complex financial models to support supplier negotiations, providing data-driven insights to secure optimal contractual terms.

You will lead the analysis and validation of market projections (e.g., inflation rates) and thoroughly assess their financial impact on future Procurement decisions. Gaining a deep understanding of contract change drivers and their business impact, you'll define key performance indicators (KPIs) and quantify financial implications to ensure proper Service Level Agreements (SLAs). You'll conduct comprehensive evaluations of suppliers' financial sustainability, analyzing key financial metrics from their Profit & Loss statements and Balance Sheets.
