• Curiosity and interest in understanding business processes and translating them into financial requirements together with business managers
• Experience and interest in digitising financial processes and control instruments
• Strong analytical and conceptual skills combined with pragmatism, implementation strength, and a high hands-on mentality
• Convincing leadership skills that provide orientation, develop employees, and promote cross-departmental collaboration
• Entrepreneurial judgement, future orientation, and high credibility through pronounced business understanding, clarity, and integrity
• Fluent communication in German, both spoken and written; English is an advantage
