Enjoy working with data and analytical tools? Join us to develop your controlling skills while contributing to accurate results and better tools in an ever-changing energy trading company.

The job

Here’s what the job entails
As Junior Business Controller, you will support the controlling of our asset portfolios in the European energy markets. You will gain hands-on experience with financial controlling, data analysis and process optimisation, while gradually building the skills needed to take ownership of controlling activities for a smaller business area.

More specifically, your responsibilities include:

• supporting P&L and settlement calculations as well as month-end closing activities
• working with large datasets and investigating differences or unexpected results
• using SQL, VBA and Power BI to analyse data and improve controlling tools
• helping to automate and optimise processes within controlling, invoicing and accounting
• developing reports and analyses that increase transparency and support decision-making
• collaborating with experienced controllers and stakeholders across finance and business

The team

Meet the team
You will join our Controlling & Operations team, where we act as partners for our trading teams operating on the customer side of our business, including batteries, wind and solar parks. One of our key responsibilities is calculating P&L for these teams and ensuring an accurate month-end close. We analyse and report on P&L and other financial figures, work with large datasets, handle customer settlements, and develop and maintain the tools and code that enable efficient and reliable execution.

We are a team of committed and quality-minded controlling specialists focused on continuously improving our processes, tools and ways of working. As a student employee, you will work closely with experienced colleagues, receive ongoing sparring and gradually take on more responsibility. Our team is diverse, with colleagues from around the world, and we have created a welcoming and supportive work environment.

You’ll join a high-trust team where you can learn from experienced colleagues, take on meaningful responsibility and turn data into useful insights.
