## Description

As a new standalone business, we are adapting our Controlling organization with a strong focus on value creation. At its core sits a dedicated Value & Cost Controlling team whose primary tasks are to measure progress on the company's value-creation initiatives and to increase transparency on their financial impact.

 * In this role, you support the design, coordination, and tracking of the company's strategic value creation initiatives, ensuring transparency regarding financial impact, the maturity of measures, and overall progress.
 * You consolidate, analyze, and review initiative business cases together with initiative owners, validate baselines and target ambitions, and translate operational measures into their financial impact on the P&L, cash flow, and balance sheet.
 * Furthermore, you prepare dashboard-driven management reporting and steering committee materials, providing senior leadership with clear insights into the status, risks, and opportunities of the initiative portfolio.
 * You collaborate closely with functions and businesses to ensure alignment between initiative tracking and financial planning and forecasting, including the reconciliation of initiative impacts into budgets and forecasts to avoid double counting.
 * In addition, you support ad-hoc analyses and decision papers related to initiative scope, prioritization, and resource allocation.
 * Moreover, you contribute to the continuous improvement of tools, methodologies, and governance standards for planning, tracking, and reporting strategic initiatives while acting as a sparring partner to initiative owners across the organization.
