About the role:

Numbers tell the story of how a factory really runs. If you can read that story in a bill of materials, a variance report or an absorption analysis, and turn it into decisions the operations teams can actually use, this one is for you.

We are creating a new Plant Controller role to own the cost and profitability picture across three of our European manufacturing sites. Based in Portugal, you will be the single point of clarity on what things cost, where margin is won or lost, and what the shop floor should do about it.

What you will do:

You will sit where finance meets the factory floor. Working from Porto and staying close to three European production sites, you will:

Own product costing and keep cost data accurate as products and processes evolve
Analyse cost variances and explain what is driving them
Monitor production performance and cost absorption
Track profitability across products and sites
Support monthly closing, financial reporting, budgeting and forecasting
Maintain cost structures in SAP and work with the master data/SAP/Production team
Provide production and management teams with clear insight to support decisions

What you bring:

3 to 5 years in finance controlling within a manufacturing environment is preferred. Experience in other product sectors such as FMCG or food is very welcome
Solid SAP knowledge across CO, FI and PP. We run on S/4 HANA, so strong ECC experience is absolutely fine
Confidence with product costing, standard costing and variance analysis
Advanced Excel and strong financial analysis skills
A degree in Finance, Accounting, Controlling or Business Administration
English plus German or Dutch, as you will liaise across our sites
Comfortable travelling to the sites a few days each month

Why this role:

Real ownership. It is newly created, so you shape how manufacturing controlling works across the sites rather than inheriting someone else's model
Visible impact. Your analysis goes straight to production and management teams and feeds live decisions
Genuine scope. Three sites, multiple products, one clear owner
