Controller finance Jobs in Brandenburg

We are looking for a sharp, autonomous Finance Business Partner to own, optimize, and scale our end-to-end workforce planning and People/Workplace financial models. This is a high-impact, fixed-term contract where you will serve as the strategic finance partner to our People Ops, HR, and Workplace leadership across multiple global jurisdictions.

• Lead, analyze, and report on the dynamic global headcount model (covering current staff, planned hires, attrition, and FTE/contractor mix). Build and maintain robust scenario models (base/upside/downside) to enable rapid re-forecasting.

• Oversee financial planning, forecasting, variance analysis, and regular management reporting for all HR and Workplace cost centers (Comp & Benefits, L&D, recruitment, equity/ESOP impact, and global office leases).

• Model and forecast payroll tax and social security obligations across our operating jurisdictions (Lithuania, USA, Spain, Germany, UK).

• Act as the primary Finance Business Partner to translate complex financial data into actionable narratives for non-finance stakeholders. Constructively challenge hiring plans, spend assumptions, and resource allocation.

• Elevate data integrity across models, ensuring a single source of truth between TM1 and NetSuite. Deliver robust monthly reporting packs and drive process improvements to eliminate manual work and automate reporting pipelines from TM1 to management packs.

• Create comprehensive documentation and transition playbooks for all newly automated headcount and cost models to ensure seamless continuity for the finance team post-contract.

• Partner with People Ops and IT to bridge data gaps between HR systems and finance tools, ensuring real-time accuracy in historical data analysis and rolling forecasts.

• 5+ years of progressive finance experience, with at least 2–3 years specifically in an FP&A or Finance Business Partnering role (ideally within a tech, SaaS, or scale-up environment).

• Experience owning complex people-cost models, with a solid grasp of global payroll mechanics (gross-to-net, employer contributions, and tax obligations).

• Exceptional communication skills with the confidence to constructively challenge department heads, push back on assumptions, and translate complex financial concepts into actionable narratives for non-finance audiences.

• Hands-on experience with a planning/budgeting tool — TM1/Cognos, Anaplan, Adaptive, or similar. TM1 experience is a direct advantage at PVcase.

• Highly comfortable working with raw, semi-structured data exports to build clean, structured, and repeatable reporting outputs.

• Experience navigating financial modeling and business partnering within multi-entity or multi-currency environments is a strong plus.

• Fluent in English (Lithuanian language skills are a plus but not required).

Please note that this is a fixed-term contract (6-9 months) without additional benefits.
