About the job
Our client is a forward-looking, independent organisation with a public mandate and high societal relevance. It combines exciting and varied tasks with attractive development opportunities and a corporate culture where collaboration, responsibility, and transparency are lived.
As part of succession planning, we are seeking a committed and entrepreneurial-minded finance professional with leadership experience, technical substance, and the potential to develop into a comprehensive leadership role. What matters is not the career steps already taken, but the ability to take responsibility, shape new things, and continuously develop. In the medium term, there is the prospect of taking on the position of CFO.
This key position offers the opportunity to be responsible for a broad and varied range of tasks, to contribute your own impulses, and to actively shape the future financial direction of the organisation. The future post holder can expect a high degree of creative freedom and the chance to achieve sustainable impact.
