• Take ownership of financial control, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, cash flow, and reporting
• Ensure that inventory, spare parts, and warehouse processes are accurate, efficient, and aligned with demand
• Improve processes in ERP and administration to increase efficiency and reduce errors
• Monitor performance through KPIs and translate insights into concrete improvements
• Act as the linking pin between Service, Sales, Projects, and Finance to ensure smooth operations

You are the one who brings structure. You see what can be improved and take action.

Qualifications

In addition, you bring:

• Experience in leading or coordinating a team
• Knowledge of ERP systems and administrative business processes
• Experience with inventory management, order administration, or operational support
