Do you want to use your passion and talent to make consumption more sustainable? 

We're Europe's fastest-growing marketplace for refurbished products, empowering customers to acquire items up to 40% cheaper while making a substantial impact on reducing CO2 emissions compared to buying new devices.

Since our launch in February 2017, we grew to more than 300 employees and expanded across the European region. Throughout this journey, we've successfully concluded three substantial funding rounds, selling hundreds of thousands of products. Thanks to our team's efforts, we were recognized as the Top Employer in the DACH region (2023 and 2024) by Kununu and secured the title of an ACM Preferred Employer (2023).

For our Finance team, we are looking for a proactive and analytical Controlling Specialist who will oversee quality, accuracy, and compliance of our transaction processes. You will take charge of analyzing and reconciling customer transactions, automating processes while ensuring compliance with VAT reporting and audit requirements. 
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in controlling, preferably in e-commerce or high-volume transactional environments, with expertise in data analysis, compliance and process improvements combined with a strong control mindset. 

 

Who you are:  

  • You have a university degree or comparable in finance, accounting or controlling.
  • You have at least 3-5 years' experience in controlling, financial analysis, or audit (preferably in a big four). 
  • You are familiar with financial controlling tools and processes (budgeting, variance analysis); knowledge of BMD or LucaNet is a plus. 
  • You have a data analytics affinity and are capable to analyse large data sets, using analytic tools like Looker or Python and are a strong user of Excel (Power Query, Pivot-tables). 
  • You are used to a fast-paced, changing environment and have worked for high growth companies in the past. 
  • You are very keen on accuracy and quality and always have high attention to detail. 
  • You have a hands-on/problem solving mentality.
  • You are fluent in English (German is a nice to have). 
     

What you will do: 

  • Drive and improve existing cost reporting tools and processes.
  • Conduct variance analyses (actuals vs budget/forecast).
  • Identify opportunities for cost savings together with department heads.  
  • Support planning processes (budget/forecast). 
  • Analyse and reconcile customer orders and payment transactions across various payment service providers (e.g., Stripe, PayPal). 
  • Identify discrepancies, investigate root causes, and implement corrective measures. 
  • Work closely with data analytics, engineering, and other departments to drive reconciliation automation and process improvements. 
  • Continuously review and improve financial processes and tools. 

 

Additional factors we appreciate: 

  • You have gained work experience in e-commerce before. 
  • You have previously worked in a high-volume business dealing with large transaction volumes such as e.g. marketplaces, payment service providers or equivalent.
