Assignment Details

Our client, a leading global specialist in energy management and automation, is seeking a highly capable Financial Analyst / Controller to join our Service Operations organization and play a core role in a cost‑to‑serve transformation program. This role is critical in building financial transparency, rigor, and insight into service cost structures, enabling fact‑based decisions and sustainable performance improvements.

This is an excellent opportunity for a detail‑oriented finance professional with a strong understanding of service cost economics who wants to move beyond traditional controlling and become an active business partner in operational transformation.

 

Key Responsibilities:

 

Service Cost Structure & Financial Analysis:

  • Develop deep understanding of service operations cost structures and cost natures (labor, subcontracting, travel, tools, spare parts, overheads).
  • Analyze service P&L, cost‑to‑serve, and margin drivers across regions, countries, and service lines.
  • Ensure accurate cost allocation, transparency, and consistency in service cost reporting.

 

Cost‑to‑Serve Transformation (Core Project Team Member):

  • Be part of the core cost‑to‑serve transformation project team, supporting diagnostics, solution design, and implementation.
  • Break down end‑to‑end service costs to identify structural cost drivers and inefficiencies.
  • Support the definition of target cost structures, cost baselines, and savings initiatives.
  • Track financial impact, benefits realization, and sustainability of cost and productivity improvements.

 

Controlling, Governance & Financial Discipline:

  • Drive strong cost governance, forecasting, and variance analysis within Service Operations.
  • Establish clear financial KPIs aligned with operational performance (productivity, utilization, efficiency).
  • Ensure financial adherence to policies while enabling operational agility and improvement.

 

Business Partnering & Decision Support:

  • Act as a trusted finance business partner to Service Operations and transformation leaders.
  • Translate complex financial analysis into clear, actionable insights for non‑finance stakeholders.
  • Support investment decisions, business cases, and prioritization of improvement initiatives.

 

Standardization & Continuous Improvement:

  • Contribute to the development and harmonization of service cost models, financial templates, and reporting standards.
  • Support the build‑up of cost awareness and financial acumen within operational teams.
  • Enable a shift from reactive cost control to proactive cost and margin management.

  • Experience supporting transformation, performance improvement, or efficiency programs is a strong advantage.
  • Strong financial and analytical skills, with high attention to detail and data accuracy.
