This is a high-impact role suited to someone from a Big Four, PE-backed, or high-growth environment who is comfortable building processes, owning reporting, and working closely with senior leadership.

  • Support PE-driven value-creation initiatives and ad-hoc strategic projects.

  • Help shape and scale the finance team over time.

Candidate Profile

  • Experience in private-equity-backed companies or high-growth environments.

  • Big Four, CPA, ACCA, or equivalent qualification strongly preferred.

  • Strong technical accounting and group consolidation experience.

  • Hands-on operator who can build from scratch and manage multiple priorities.

  • Confident interacting with senior stakeholders and PE investors.

  • German and English fluency preferred.

Compensation & Structure

  • Competitive benefits; car allowance aligned with local market norms.

  • Pathway to broader leadership responsibilities as the finance function grows.

Why Join?

  • Direct exposure to senior leadership and investor teams.

  • High autonomy, breadth, and influence from day one.
