Flemish Brabant, Flanders, Belgique Sander Brussels Temps plein

Our client, an international consumer goods company in the Diegem region, is looking for a Commercial Controller to support its commercial growth.

Why apply?

Our client is an established international player in the consumer goods sector, combining the stability of a well-structured group with a dynamic and commercially driven Belgian environment.

As Commercial Controller, you will not simply report on figures: you will work closely with Sales, Marketing and Management, providing the financial insights behind commercial decisions, new initiatives and future growth.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Controller or Auditor looking to take the next step towards a business-oriented finance position with strong internal visibility and impact.

As Commercial Controller, you will act as a financial business partner to the commercial teams.

Responsibilities

  • Managing and supporting the monthly closing, budgeting and forecasting processes for the commercial activities.
  • Analysing financial and commercial performance, identifying trends and translating figures into actionable recommendations.
  • Monitoring key business KPIs, sales performance, costs, margins and profitability.
  • Partnering closely with Sales, Marketing, Trade Marketing, Customer Service and Management.
  • Providing financial guidance on commercial initiatives, promotions and marketing investments.
  • Preparing and challenging business cases linked to new products, commercial projects and other strategic initiatives.
  • Supporting product launches and innovation projects from a financial perspective.
  • Performing cost price and margin analyses and assessing their impact on profitability.
  • Contributing to process improvements and ensuring appropriate internal controls.
  • Supporting finance-related projects involving commercial operations and the supply chain.
  • Challenging stakeholders constructively and helping translate financial data into better business decisions.

Experience

You have a first relevant experience in controlling, business analysis, commercial finance or audit and are ready to take on a broader business-partnering position. Experience within FMCG, retail, consumer goods or another fast-paced environment is an advantage, but not mandatory.

Languages

You communicate fluently in Dutch and French and have a good professional command of English.

Qualifications

You hold a Master's degree in Finance, Economics, Business Engineering, Business Administration or a related field, with strong Excel skills; experience with SAP or similar ERP/reporting tools is an asset.

Our client offers you

  • A permanent position within a stable and internationally recognised group.
  • A role combining finance, analysis and genuine business partnering rather than pure reporting.
  • Direct exposure to commercial teams and senior stakeholders.
  • The opportunity to contribute to decisions around pricing, profitability, investments and product development.
  • A stimulating environment where you can further develop towards broader controlling and business finance responsibilities.
  • Flexible working conditions and an attractive benefits package.
