About Chrono24 is the world's leading marketplace for luxury watches, bringing together watch enthusiasts, collectors, dealers, and buyers from all over the world every day. As a Senior Controller, you'll be part of our Controlling team and actively help shape Chrono24's financial steering.
You'll ensure that operational developments are translated into financial impact, take ownership of ongoing cost and P&L controlling including monthly and quarterly reporting, develop scalable controlling and planning processes, and support the Management Board in data-driven decision-making.
This role gives you the opportunity to substantially advance our controlling structures — from cost transparency all the way to integrated planning.
What you can expect Financial Steering & Decision Support: You translate operational KPI developments into P&L, EBITDA, and cash impact, and prepare well-founded executive and board materials including commentary
Planning, Forecasting & Budget Steering: You drive budgeting, forecasting, and rolling forecast processes, steer budgets together with the business units, and develop driver-based financial models as well as integrated cash and working capital planning
Cost & Profitability Transparency: You create transparency around OPEX, payment costs, regional contribution margin accounting, and profitability analyses
Reporting & Month-End Close: You support the monthly and quarterly close from a controlling perspective, comment on cost and earnings developments, and further develop management and business-unit reporting
Systems, Automation & AI: You drive the integration of financials into our data landscape, automate manual processes, and develop AI-supported analysis and commentary workflows
Financial Governance: You ensure consistent financial logic (segments, P&L structure, forecast logic) in alignment with BI and Accounting
What sets you apart At least 5 years of experience in Controlling or FP&A, ideally in a digital marketplace or e-commerce environment
Solid controlling expertise across the full breadth: cost and P&L controlling, reporting and variance analysis, as well as planning, forecasting, and scenario analysis
Ability to translate complex financial relationships into clear, actionable recommendations and communicate them convincingly
Experience with ERP/consolidation systems (e.g. LucaNet, DATEV), BI tools (Qlik, Tableau or similar), and planning tools (Pigment, Board or similar)
