Vacant job

We are currently looking for a senior and a junior Program Controller who want to take on a unique and results-oriented assignment together. As part of our client's major transformation journey in Stockholm, you will become the hub for financial value steering across three major tech initiatives. A perfect opportunity for you who want to take on significant responsibility and work closely with the business leadership.

About the role

On behalf of our client – a large and well-known actor in a complex, regulated industry – we are now looking for two Program Controllers (one senior and one junior/intermediate) who will form an autonomous and driven delivery team.

The client is currently running three parallel, strategic multi-million programs within Data & AI, Digital Channels, and CRM. The purpose is to build the future digital customer experience and business capability. As a Program Controller, you step right into the heat to establish and operationally drive financial steering, value steering, and impact realization across these three major initiatives.

Responsibilities

Together as a team, you take overall responsibility for program controlling. This means a mix of strategic packaging and operational "hands-on" work:

• Implement financial steering models, budgeting, forecasts, and investment tracking based on existing frameworks.
• Drive and further develop Business Cases, KPI steering, and models for financial impact realization.
• Be a close decision support and financial partner to program managers, program owners, as well as functions within Business Design and Finance.
• Produce high-quality, visual decision support materials and reports for steering groups and corporate leadership.
• Ensure careful documentation and knowledge transfer, as the client's long-term goal is to phase in internal resources.

Who are you?

We are looking for two different profiles for this team, but common to both is a strong personal drive, a non-hierarchical attitude, and very good analytical skills.

Profile 1: Senior Program/Business Controller

• Several years of experience in project and program controlling within larger transformation programs in complex organizations.
• Deep interest in and experience with Business Cases, value steering, and KPI tracking.
• Pedagogical and communicative – you can translate complex financial data into strategic insights.

Profile 2: Junior/Intermediate Controller

• A few years of experience in financial tracking, project controlling, or Business Controlling.
• Structured, quick learner, and comfortable working operationally with numbers and templates.
• Motivated by working in a team and wants to develop in a complex, developmental environment.

Our recruitment process

This recruitment process is handled by Academic Work, and our client's request is that all questions regarding the position are sent to Academic Work.

We apply continuous selection and will remove the ad when enough candidates have reached the final stage of the recruitment process. A CV is requested upon application. We do not use cover letters as a selection method and therefore do not need them attached. The recruitment process includes two selection tests: a personality test and a cognitive ability test. The tests are a tool to find the candidate with the highest potential for the position and to promote equality, diversity, and a fair recruitment process.
