International Controller | Eindhoven

International Controller for an international, private equity-backed technology company on the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven. A hands-on role with real ownership of the month-end close for three to four European countries, in an organisation that grows and moves fast.

The role offers plenty of room to grow, into both international and local finance and management positions.

Are you a finance professional who gets energy from a dynamic, international environment? Do you enjoy being close to the business and turning numbers into insight for local teams and management? Then this is your role. You are the finance business partner for several European entities and are a key link between the local businesses and group finance.

About the organisation

TMC is a dynamic, private equity-backed technology company with a clear buy-and-build strategy. That means growing every year: new acquisitions, new entities and an organisation that is constantly on the move. You join at a defining moment: TMC is scaling from €400 million towards €1 billion in revenue, and that expansion opens real growth opportunities for the people who help build it. No two years are the same, and that is exactly what makes this a challenging and rewarding place to work.

The team

You work closely with the local finance teams and with the managers and CEOs of the smaller entities in the countries you support. You are their sparring partner on finance, and within group finance you are a key link for reporting and analysis.

Within the office in Eindhoven, you have the opportunity to connect with 10+ finance colleagues on a daily basis. From the Local finance team, group team as the international controlling team. The culture is very open, hands-on and forward-looking.

• Business partnering: you are the sparring partner for the local finance teams and for the managers and CEOs of the smaller entities in those countries.
• Training the local teams: you train and coach the local finance teams so their reporting gets faster, cleaner and more consistent.
• In-person contact: a few times a year you travel to these countries to meet the local business in person and strengthen the collaboration.

• Analysis and board reporting: you prepare the analyses and the board slides for finance (two decks) that management steers on, and you flag what stands out between actuals and budget.
• One-off projects: you pick up one-off topics as they come up, such as dividend payments.
• Process improvement: you help the finance organisation professionalise and sharpen processes while the company grows fast, for example improving the margin reports and the cash request process.

• Strong communication skills; you build relationships easily, also at a distance.
• A pro-active mindset; you spot what needs to happen and pick it up before you are asked.
• Analytically strong, accurate and independent, and comfortable in an environment that changes fast.
