## Description

For IRS Group, a fast-growing, internationally operating platform organisation backed by private equity, we are looking for an experienced Senior Expert Group Controlling & Performance Management (m/f/d) to join us at the earliest opportunity.

This is a hands-on expert role for someone who enjoys working with financial data, building practical models and turning analysis into clear business decisions. You will work closely with the management team, Group Controlling, BI, IT and our local country teams.

You will not have direct people-management responsibility. Instead, you will take ownership of your topics, coordinate stakeholders and drive projects from the initial idea through to implementation.

This is not a pure reporting position. You will help us improve the way we plan, analyse and manage the business across countries and locations.

 * Further develop Group Controlling, management reporting and performance management
 * Build and improve financial models for planning, forecasting, scenarios and business steering
 * Analyse the main drivers of revenue, costs, margins, cash flow and working capital
 * Turn financial and operational data into clear recommendations and practical actions
 * Develop useful KPIs and reporting structures that improve transparency and comparability across countries and locations
 * Work with BI and IT to improve the quality and consistency of our data
 * Help ensure that data from operational systems, ERP systems, LucaNet and management reporting is consistent
 * Lead controlling, reporting, data and process-improvement projects independently
 * Prepare clear analyses, business cases and decision papers for management and the Holding
 * Develop, maintain and further improve management reports in Power BI
