[Hiring] Senior Financial Controller @Diakrit

Role Description

We’re now hiring a Senior Financial Controller to take ownership of our finance operations globally. Are you a finance leader who thrives on bringing structure, compliance, and insight to complex environments? Are you passionate about automating manual processes and building systems that scale? Do you roll up your sleeves to solve root issues rather than just identifying them? If that sounds like you - we want you to lead our global finance team.

In this role, you’ll work across all areas of the business to sharpen your commercial acumen while embedding best-practice compliance, systems, and training across a remote team of internal accountants and outsourced partners.

As Senior Financial Controller, you will take full ownership of our global accounting, treasury, and finance operations. Your mandate is twofold: ensure financial accuracy, timeliness, and compliance across the group, and build a high-performing finance function through continuous improvement and team development.

Your mission is to lead and elevate global finance operations across all entities by driving:

• Timely month-end closes
• Robust treasury and cash management
• Rigorous internal controls
• Seamless audit execution

You will act as the primary financial authority and systems owner, leading high-performing in-house teams and outsource partners while ensuring compliance, liquidity, and risk governance across the group. You will dive into the details, resolve root causes of issues, and implement sustainable solutions. Your strong analytical and communication skills will enable you to work effectively across functions and geographies, fostering alignment and clarity.

Qualifications

• Minimum 10 years’ experience in financial control, business finance, or senior finance management roles
• Fluent in English (written and spoken), Swedish language skills is an advantage

Requirements

• Experience across finance systems and ERP environments (NetSuite required; QuickBooks and Xero experience preferred)

• Strong treasury acumen, including 13-week rolling cash flow modelling and intercompany funding management
• Strong Excel skills and familiarity with BI tools for automation and analysis
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, cross-cultural mindset
• The flexibility to work across time zones with a globally distributed team
• A high degree of independence, initiative, and ownership

Benefits

• A remote-first role
• A flat, fast-moving organization where your ideas have real impact
