About the job

Would you be the strategic sparring partner who translates finance into concrete priorities and decisions? And are you motivated by creating transparency and direction in complex contexts where finance, technology and business goals must work together? Then you could be the Senior Business Controller we are seeking for our finance partnering department for Digital Products and Business Development and SysTech.

Contribute to a more solid decision basis in a digital business area

SysTech is a cross-organizational product organization that develops, operates and manages digital products and solutions that support Energinet's business. As the Senior Business Controller for the area, you will become a central sparring partner for the VP and the management team and ensure that financial implications, investments, priorities and risks are an integral part of the decision basis.

You create coherence between strategy, activities, finance and expected business value. At the same time, you help the management navigate complex decisions by translating data and analyses into concrete recommendations and actions.

We are looking for a person who can transform numbers and analyses into clear insights for the executive team. You should help us understand the consequences of our choices and create a basis for the right priorities," says Morten Kruse Hendriksen, Senior Manager.

Come inside the finance partner departments

From the office in Fredericia you will be part of a dedicated environment where we work closely across disciplines to create the greatest possible value for the business. In the three finance partner departments we are 27 dedicated colleagues distributed across offices in Ballerup, Stenlille and Fredericia, where the majority sit in Fredericia. With a very good esprit de corps across locations, we act as financial sparring partners for the management in Energinet's various subsidiaries and support them with financial management.

You will become part of a team with Financial Business Partners and Business Controllers, where you jointly cover the area within electricity costs, gas energy costs and the subsidiary System Responsibility.

Create overview and direction across finance, technology and business

As a Senior Business Controller you will have a broad role with great influence on financial governance and the development of SysTech's decision basis. You will, among other things, be responsible for:

  • serving as a strategic financial sparring partner for the VP and the management team
  • preparing and further developing budgets, forecasts and financial analyses
  • creating the decision basis for investments, priorities and development initiatives
  • working with business cases, realization of gains, value creation as well as opex- and capex-management
  • improving governance, processes and data foundation so that decisions are made on a fact-based basis

You collaborate closely with leaders and key stakeholders across the organization - here your ability to create shared understanding and bridge financial and business perspectives will be crucial.

You will have a lot of freedom to shape the role and develop our controlling function. At the same time you will be part of a good collaborative environment where we challenge each other constructively and work toward common goals," says Morten Kruse Hendriksen.

You combine financial heft with solid business understanding

You have solid relevant experience with business controlling, finance business partnering or financial management in a large and complex organization. In addition, we imagine that you:

  • have a relevant advanced degree in economics, finance or similar - e.g., cand.merc., cand.oecon., HD or equivalent
  • work confidently in Excel and have experience with ERP systems - we use SAP and SAC
  • are a skilled analyst who translates complex data sets into clear recommendations
  • understand the link between strategy, finance, system development and business value
  • have experience with budgets, forecasts, business cases, investments, opex and capex
  • communicate clearly and create shared understanding across professional disciplines

As a person you are motivated by collaboration and by creating structure, transparency and coherence in complex contexts. You are curious about the business and seek out new knowledge to understand the needs and drivers behind the economy and development.

At the same time you challenge assumptions and priorities in a constructive way and do so with respect for relationships and with a focus on creating value for the whole. Finally, you have an interest in data, automation, AI and digital tools and see opportunities to use them to strengthen decision support.

Would you like to help make a difference together with us?

We look forward to receiving your motivated CV no later than October 18. We hold 1st interviews online on October 20 and 22 and 2nd interviews on October 26 in Fredericia. If you have questions about the position, you are welcome to contact department head, Morten Kruse Hendriksen at tel. 2445 6392.

Special conditions: Because Energinet solves society-critical tasks, we perform a background check prior to hire. It is a condition of employment that your background check is compatible with employment at Energinet. The background check is also conducted once a year.

We see diversity as a strength and encourage all qualified people, regardless of background, to apply. We actively and purposefully work with diversity at Energinet and therefore encourage you to omit a photo, information about age, civil status and similar details to minimize unconscious biases in the process. You can read more about our diversity policy here.

You will become part of Energinet Corporate Finance and Business Support, which supports the group and the group's business units with services within purchasing, process development, financial management, shared services and workplace experience.
