Business Controller & Management Support at Stolab – Creating direction through analysis and structure

Do you want to work closely with the management in a company where decisions, analysis, and implementation are truly interconnected?

Stolab is now looking for a Business Controller & Management Support who wants to take a central role in strengthening our profitability, developing our working methods, and ensuring that strategic decisions are implemented in the business.

Why Stolab?

Stolab is a family-owned company with roots in the Småland furniture tradition. We design, manufacture, and sell high-quality wooden furniture – with iconic products appreciated worldwide. Here, quality, long-term thinking, and innovation meet in a business with a strong identity and clear ambitions for the future.

You will step into a role where you work close to the decisions and have significant influence on how the company is managed, monitored, and developed. Analysis, structure, and business understanding are central to taking the next step in Stolab's development, making your role both important and visible within the organization.

At the same time, you will become part of a family-oriented and engaged culture where people care about both the product and each other, and where transparency, responsibility, and collaboration are natural parts of everyday life. There is a curiosity and willingness to develop – both in working methods and business – that makes Stolab an stimulating environment for you who want to contribute meaningfully.

About the role

As a Business Controller & Management Support, you work closely with the CEO, COO, and CSO and play a key role in creating fact-based decisions and ensuring implementation.

You operate at the intersection of analysis, business development, and operational follow-up – with responsibility for both explaining the current situation and contributing to the next steps forward.

The role is central to holding together the overall picture regarding the business plan, follow-up, and priorities, and you will become an important connecting force between functions and initiatives in the organization.

Your mission

You will among other things:

• Be responsible for budget, forecasts, and follow-up
• Ensure a relevant and structured KPI system
• Analyze and follow up on customer and product profitability
• Prepare decision materials that clearly explain outcomes, deviations, and next steps
• Prepare and structure management meetings
• Document decisions and ensure they are followed up and implemented
• Hold together and drive follow-up of the business plan
• Monitor deadlines and ensure progress in prioritized initiatives
• Follow up and coordinate projects and activities in the organization
• Act as a connecting link between COO, CSO, and other functions

Who we are looking for

We are looking for you who thrive in a role where analysis meets business and implementation. You have an academic education in economics, industrial economics, or equivalent, and have experience in controlling in a business where you have worked close to the business operations.

You are accustomed to working with budgets, forecasts, and key figures, and have the ability to turn numbers into insights that create real value in the business. You understand how profitability is built – both at the customer, product, and business level – and you are driven by making the analysis relevant and usable for decision-making.

At the same time, you have a strong interest in processes, structure, and follow-up. You like to get things done and ensure that decisions do not stop at words, but are translated into concrete action.

As a person, you are analytical and structured, with a natural ability to create order and clarity. You are communicative and confident in working close to management and different functions, and you have the courage to ask questions and challenge when necessary.

You thrive in a role where you get to combine business focus, structure, and coordination, and where you contribute to creating alignment, progress, and quality in the organization's work.
