ABOUT THE POSITION

As a Business Controller at Willhem, you have a central and business-oriented role in supporting management with follow-up, analysis, and key performance indicators. You work with both revenue and cost tracking and gather needs for further development of working methods, tools, and follow-up models. With the budget-free management as a starting point, you work with the business in focus to support managers in making well-founded decisions in their daily work and contribute to long-term value-creating property management.

In this role, you work closely with property managers and real estate managers in about 13 locations across the country, which involves regular travel to Willhem's local offices and properties, a few travel days per month. Through close dialogue with the business, you function as a qualified and attentive support, capturing local needs and transforming them into clear analyses, improvement insights, and good working methods that can be spread between locations. You report to the head of controllers, are based at the head office, and work closely with colleagues in the finance department to ensure the best possible support for management and the business at large.

To succeed in this role, you need to switch between diving deep into details and seeing the big picture to draw relevant conclusions about future developments. You have a good overall understanding of the company's financial processes and how they interact, and you play an important role in challenging existing working methods and driving a more value-creating approach within the organization. The role requires a proactive and business-oriented attitude as well as a willingness to take significant personal responsibility.
