About the Role

We are looking for a highly organised, proactive and commercially minded Senior Finance Coordinator & PMO Manager to support and coordinate a broad Finance function of more than 50 colleagues across Accounting, Tax, FP&A, Treasury, Credit Control and related areas. This is not a pure administrative role. You will act as the operational backbone of the Finance organisation: ensuring that priorities are clear, deadlines are tracked, meetings result in action, cross-functional projects move forward and the CFO office runs effectively. You will work closely with the CFO and senior Finance leaders, combining project management, stakeholder coordination, governance support and hands-on operational follow-up.

Responsibilities

  • Support the CFO and Finance leadership team in organising priorities, meetings, decision-making and follow-up.
  • Prepare leadership meetings, agendas, briefing materials and action trackers.
  • Ensure decisions, open points, deadlines and ownership are clearly documented and followed through.
  • Coordinate communication across Accounting, Tax, FP&A, Treasury, Credit Control and other Finance teams.
  • Act as a central point of contact for internal stakeholders on Finance-related coordination topics.
  • Coordinate Finance projects, including process improvements, system implementations, reporting enhancements, organisational changes and transformation initiatives.
  • Maintain project plans, timelines, dependencies, risks, decision logs and status reporting.
  • Challenge delays or unclear ownership constructively and escalate where appropriate.
  • Support project teams in structuring workstreams, preparing workshops and ensuring delivery against agreed milestones.
  • Help turn broad strategic initiatives into clear workplans and practical next steps.
  • Coordinate key Finance calendar activities, including budgeting, forecasting, monthly reporting, audit preparation and year-end processes.
  • Support the preparation and coordination of management presentations, board materials and internal reporting packs.
  • Maintain a clear overview of recurring deadlines, governance requirements and deliverables across the Finance function.
  • Support documentation of Finance processes, policies, responsibilities and decision rights.
  • Assist with the preparation of presentations, summaries and high-quality communication for senior stakeholders.
  • Identify recurring inefficiencies, unclear interfaces or bottlenecks across the Finance organisation.
  • Propose and implement practical improvements to ways of working, communication flows, meeting structures and reporting routines.
  • Establish simple, reliable tools for tracking priorities, projects and commitments.
  • Help create a structured, collaborative and accountable Finance culture.
  • Support onboarding, team events and internal communications where relevant to the Finance organisation.

Requirements

  • Several years of experience in a Finance PMO, Finance Business Management, Chief of Staff, consulting, audit, controlling or comparable coordination role.
  • Strong understanding of Finance functions and core processes, ideally including accounting, forecasting, budgeting, audit or reporting cycles.
  • Proven experience managing complex cross-functional projects with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.
  • Excellent organisational skills, with a strong ability to create structure in fast-moving or ambiguous environments.
  • Confident working with senior leaders and able to communicate clearly, diplomatically and assertively.
  • Highly reliable, discreet and comfortable handling sensitive information.
  • Strong PowerPoint, Excel and Microsoft 365 skills; experience with project-management or collaboration tools is an advantage.
  • Fluent English required; German is highly desirable.
  • You are structured without being rigid, diplomatic without avoiding difficult conversations, and hands-on without losing the bigger picture.
  • You enjoy bringing order to complexity, working with different personalities and ensuring that important work does not get lost between teams.
