Industrial Controller | Strategic Finance Business Partner | Ghent

Ready to step into a role where you'll influence business decisions instead of simply reporting the numbers?

I'm partnering with a well-established international organisation that is looking to strengthen its finance team with an Industrial Controller.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a background in industrial controlling, manufacturing finance, or product costing who enjoys working closely with operations and wants to make a real commercial impact.

As the link between Finance and Operations, you'll provide the financial insights that drive performance, improve profitability, and support strategic decision-making across the business.

What you'll be doing

Partner with Operations, Supply Chain, Procurement, and Management to improve business performance

Analyse production costs, margins, operational KPIs, and financial performance

Manage and improve product costing, standard costing, and inventory valuation

Investigate cost variances and identify opportunities to improve profitability

Support budgeting, forecasting, business cases, and investment decisions

Improve reporting, financial processes, and ERP data quality

Deliver meaningful financial insights that influence operational and strategic decisions

Who we're looking for:

Master's degree in Finance, Economics, Engineering, or a related discipline

Around 5-7 years of experience in industrial controlling, manufacturing finance, product costing, or a similar analytical finance role

Strong understanding of costing methodologies, inventory management, and operational finance

Experience with ERP systems (SAP experience is a strong advantage)

Strong analytical mindset with the ability to turn complex data into practical business recommendations

Fluent in Dutch and English

Why this opportunity stands out:

This is far more than a traditional controlling position. You'll be a trusted finance partner to the business, working alongside operational leaders to improve performance, optimise processes, and support key strategic decisions.

You'll join an international organisation that offers a collaborative environment, short decision-making lines, and genuine opportunities to take ownership and drive improvements.

What's on offer?

Competitive salary package

Company car with fuel or charging card

Group & hospitalisation insurance

Meal vouchers

Net expense allowance

Performance bonus

Laptop & mobile phone

32 days of annual leave

Ongoing learning and development opportunities

A role with real autonomy, visibility, and long-term career growth
