Senior International Financial Controller – Business Travel – Evolution to Team Leader

Abiomis is proud to present an exceptional opportunity combining international travel, short-term career progression, and significant responsibilities.

Our client, a French company specializing in road freight transport, is aiming to expand its international operations. As their international activities are set to grow, they plan to enlarge their financial controlling team in the coming years, naturally entrusting its management to the first hire, which corresponds to the position in this announcement.

They are therefore seeking a financial controller capable of managing the financial aspects of their international operations and eventually leading a financial controlling team in the years to come.

Your Responsibilities | Evolution - Management

The responsibilities of this position are expected to evolve in the coming years. Initially, you will be required to:

• Manage the financial operations of various European subsidiaries
• Travel regularly to production sites, engage with different production stakeholders, and collect accounting and financial data
• Analyze this data, prepare reports, and provide recommendations to your management
• Act as the right hand of the General Manager and serve as the key reference for international finance within the group

At a later stage, you will also be expected to:

• Manage a financial controlling team
• Train and supervise junior team members
• Implement KPIs and delegate tasks effectively
• Play a role in the recruitment of team members
  
  

Profile and Career Path | Evolution - Management

• To be prepared to take on managerial responsibilities in the coming years, particularly with senior team members, a minimum of 5 years of experience is required.
• Proficiency in English is essential to communicate effectively with various international production sites.
• Additionally, fluency in French, Spanish, Italian, or any other European language will be considered an asset.
• Experience in an accounting firm or service provider will be advantageous, as managing multiple production sites is comparable to a "client portfolio" system.
• A strong affinity for IT tools is also recommended, as each production site may use different systems.
  
  

Offer | Evolution - Management

The benefits offered by the company are numerous:

• First, the opportunity to build and manage your own team within a few years represents a near-guaranteed professional advancement in the coming years.
• Additionally, frequent travel to international production sites will break the routine, allow you to interact with people from different cultures and backgrounds daily, and maintain a hands-on approach to finance.
• The offices are recent, well-designed, and modern.
• The company has strong values, which they emphasize, ensuring a healthy work environment and a reasonable work pace.
• Finally, the salary, which can reach up to €80,000 annually gross depending on your profile, is above market standards for this type of position.
