Group Finance Manager

Group Finance Manager

A key person is retiring after 40 years at NORDEX FOOD. This leaves both an important knowledge transfer and a concrete task: the central finance deliverables must continue to operate from day one, while processes, data and financial management must be developed further.

Om rollen

As Group Finance Manager you report directly to CFO Jesper Nielsen and become one of his close sparring partners. You will have a broad portfolio of tasks including consolidation, budgeting, accounting and financial management. In addition you will have personnel responsibility for one Group Controller as well as overall responsibility for the Accounting team, which consists of an Accounting Manager and seven employees.

You will work close to the CFO and the rest of the management in an organization with short decision paths, where there is an opportunity to translate analyses and proposals into action. You enter a finance function where several models and processes today are Excel-based and person-dependent. An important part of the task will therefore be to retain what works, while developing financial management further and making central processes less dependant on individuals.

Dine ansvarsområder

You will be responsible for central finance processes across NORDEX FOOD and will be broadly involved in the tasks close to the CFO.

It includes among other things

• budget preparation, consolidation, forecasts and financial statements for the group and its companies
• monthly reporting, financial analyses, variance management and material for management and the board
• business cases as well as tasks within financing, liquidity, gearing and contact with banks
• governance and compliance, including tax, transfer pricing, corporate law, insurance and relevant registrations
• further development of reporting, closing, budget models and financial management
• working with data and analyses across D365, Power BI and Excel with an understanding of the underlying data structures

You will become part of the Group Finance leadership team and the company's Senior Management Team and are expected to contribute across the organization, not only within your own finance area.

It is essential that you can perform the financial craft yourself. The role is hands-on, and although you have managerial responsibility, you must be able to drill into the numbers, work with the models and drive key deliverables in the finance function.

Din profil

Your current title is less important than what you have actually worked with. You could, for example, be Finance Manager, Group Finance Manager, Senior Group Controller, Head of Finance or hold a role at a similar level.

The most important is that you

• have a minimum of 10 years of relevant experience, including a background in auditing and subsequent experience from a group-structured company, preferably a manufacturing company
• have a solid breadth within consolidation, budgeting, accounting and financial analysis
• have strong system and data understanding and work confidently in Excel
• can drive your own deliverables, maintain pace and take responsibility for deadlines without close daily supervision
• have the integrity and confidentiality that comes with a role close to the CFO and the executive, with access to sensitive information and materials for management and the board

En rolle med plads til at flytte noget

You are not entering a pre-documented finance setup where all processes are already optimized and system-supported. There is many years of knowledge with individual people, and several central models are built in Excel. Something must therefore be understood and documented, so important knowledge does not remain person-dependent.

There is planned ongoing knowledge transfer, where you together with the current key person will have the opportunity to understand how the models, processes and the central connections fit together.

At the same time, budgets, reporting and other deadlines must naturally continue to function.

NORDEX FOOD looks into an exciting future with growth and continuous development of the company. Here you get a real opportunity to influence how the finance function should work going forward. You will be close to the CFO and the rest of the management and be involved early when analyses, prioritization and building the decision basis are needed.

The workplace is the head office in Dronninglund. NORDEX FOOD offers the possibility of one day of home office per week, but the role is closely connected to the CFO and the rest of the organization, so you should be willing to be a visible part of the house.
