Senior Controller

Introduction

To strengthen our Finance team, we are looking for a Senior Controller (m/f/d) with 5–7 years of relevant experience – either full-time or part-time (up to approx. 20 hours/week).
You will work in a private-equity-owned setup (holding structure) with high standards regarding professionalism, transparency, and steering capabilities – in an international environment with multiple locations.

Target start date: 01 June 2026

Your mission

• Own revenue steering across ARR/MRR, gross and net retention, churn, CAC payback, LTV, and cohort performance — analyzing, interpreting, and translating insights into actionable recommendations
• Act as a commercial business partner to Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing through close cross-functional collaboration on pipeline analyses, win/loss reviews, upsell tracking, and retention initiatives
• Further develop rolling revenue forecasting and take ownership of annual revenue and budget planning
• Provide pricing analytics through deal-level analyses and elasticity models to support pricing decisions
• Contribute directly to board and private equity reporting: your numbers feed into monthly shareholder updates and board materials — PE-grade quality, with no compromises
• Build and enhance the controlling infrastructure by rethinking the BI, reporting, and forecasting setup with a strong focus on AI and automation
• Support monthly, quarterly, and annual closings on the revenue side

Your profile

• 5–7 years of experience in Controlling, FP&A, or Revenue Finance — ideally within B2B SaaS, software, or a scale-up environment
• A strong feel for SaaS metrics and their underlying drivers — not just from textbooks, but from real-world practice: what truly drives NRR, where cohort cliffs occur, and how to interpret CAC payback correctly
• Strong analytical capabilities, a structured way of working, and a “model first, PowerPoint second” mindset
• Proficiency in Excel / Google Sheets, along with experience working with BI tools (Tableau, Power BI, Looker), CRM data (Salesforce), and ERP systems
• Very good German and fluent English skills
• A degree in Business Administration, Finance, Controlling, Economics, Business Informatics, or a comparable field
• A plus: basic SQL skills, experience with AI-based finance tools, and familiarity with private equity reporting standards

THE JOY OF WORKING WITH US

• Shape rather than maintain. With new management, private equity ownership, and transformation happening in real time, your impact will be visible within 90 days
• C-level visibility. You will work directly with the VP Finance, CEO, and executive leadership team, and your analyses will make their way into board-level discussions
• AI-first tool stack. Salesforce, Gong, Notion, a modern BI stack, and Copilot / Claude are embedded in the workflow — we automate wherever possible
• Real SaaS reality. ARR, NRR, and cohorts are not just presentation slides, but part of the daily management toolkit
• Maximum flexibility. Hybrid, remote-first across Germany, full-time or part-time from 20 hours per week, with a company car available on request
• International environment. Four locations, customers across Europe, and bilingual collaboration

Job Location

Hybrid – connection to Pforzheim (headquarter), with collaboration across multiple locations (incl. Berlin/Munich).
