Senior Controller (m/f/d) 80–100% – Bern

Senior Controller (m/f/d) 80–100% – Bern

Do you want not only to manage existing processes but also actively help build and strategically shape a controlling setup? For our client – a significant and meaningful institution in the Swiss health and regulatory environment based in the centre of Bern – we are looking for a committed and analytically strong personality. In this newly created position, you will accompany the finance department through an exciting development phase and act as an essential link between finance and business.

Your Responsibilities

• You act as the central Finance Business Partner for defined organisational areas and competently advise management on all business and financial matters.

• You significantly shape the further development and expansion of controlling structures, processes, and management instruments and drive financial transformation forward.

• You contribute substantially to financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting and analyse variances thoroughly.

• You independently lead projects to optimise financial processes, systems, interfaces, and data quality.

• You ensure financial governance, standards, and compliance and support operational accounting as needed.

• You prepare complex financial contexts appropriately for the target audience and professionally represent the finance function in committees.

Your Profile

• A higher degree in finance/controlling (e.g. expert in accounting and controlling, university/FH degree, ACCA, CPA, or a comparable qualification).

• Several years of solid professional experience in controlling, ideally in a role as Finance Business Partner or Senior Controller.

• Proven practical IFRS knowledge as well as very good SAP FI/CO user skills (experience with BI tools is a clear plus).

• Initial experience in supporting change management, optimisation, or controlling setup projects is a great advantage.

• You are a communicative, proactive, and solution-oriented personality who enjoys taking responsibility and keeping an overview even in complex structures.

• Fluent German is mandatory; good knowledge of a second Swiss official language (French or Italian) completes your profile.

What to Expect

• Scope for Creativity: A newly created position where you can sustainably shape the direction of controlling rather than just processing existing reports.

• Business Impact: High visibility and close exchange with decision-makers through a genuine senior business partnering role.

• Team & Environment: A small, professional, and committed finance team in a highly meaningful, institutional working environment.

• Flexibility: A workload of 80–100% with flexible working hours and up to 50% home office possibility.

• Location: Attractive office premises in close proximity to Bern main station.
