In a nutshell

We’re looking for a Billing & Trading Specialist who combines an eye for detail with analytical skills and a proactive, business-oriented mindset. You’re passionate about ensuring our financial records match the commercial performance - not just reporting on what happened, but understanding why and what to do next. You bring structure to complex billing processes, commercial data, challenge the status quo, and help build scalable, future-proof billing & trading processes.

As part of the Finance team, you’ll play a key role in ensuring the financial integrity and control of our margin and related financial reporting, mainly focused on the Dutch market. Acting as the link between Finance, Buying, Suppliers, and the Data teams, you’ll safeguard margin accuracy and be the driving factor for further process improvements and automation. You will be reporting to the Country Controller NL and be a key sparring partner to our commercial teams, helping them make smarter and data-driven financial decisions.
