Head of SCM and installation controller

Join NKT and take a key role in strengthening financial transparency, cost control, and performance management across Installation and Supply Chain Management (SCM). In this senior finance role, you will lead and develop the business controlling function supporting logistics, warehousing, installation, and asset management—critical areas for operational excellence and successful project delivery in a capital-intensive, global environment.

You will act as a trusted finance partner to operational and project leadership, ensuring accurate forecasting, robust financial governance, and clear insights that support both day-to-day decisions and long-term strategic priorities. A central part of the role is driving cost competitiveness by improving visibility into cost drivers, asset utilization, and the Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ) across SCM and Installation. This is a hands-on leadership role with strong exposure to stakeholders across Finance, Operations, Supply Chain, and Projects.

Shape financial transparency and cost excellence in Installation & Supply Chain Management

You will lead the Installation and SCM controlling team and be responsible for financial planning, forecasting, and analysis across logistics, inventory, and installation activities. By translating complex financial data into actionable insights, you will support operational excellence, improve cost efficiency, and ensure alignment between forecasts, project P&L, and actual performance.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Leading and developing a team of controllers within Installation and SCM
• Driving budgeting, forecasting, and cost control for logistics, warehousing, inventory, and installation activities
• Ensuring accurate forecasts and strong alignment with Head of SCM and Head of Installation
• Monitoring installation and asset-related costs, including vessels, manpower, subcontractors, and logistics
• Evaluating investments and monitoring asset utilization and performance
• Driving the COPQ agenda to improve transparency and cost competitiveness
• Establishing clear frameworks for internal asset charges and ensuring compliance with financial governance

Who you are

You are a confident and collaborative finance leader with strong business acumen and a solid understanding of supply chain and installation cost drivers. You combine strategic thinking with a practical, hands-on approach and are comfortable working in complex, fast-paced operational environments. You communicate clearly, build strong relationships across functions, and maintain a high level of integrity and attention to detail—even under pressure.

You bring a Master’s degree in Finance, around 10 years of experience in finance with leadership exposure, and strong skills in ERP systems and financial reporting tools such as SAP and Power BI. English is required, while Swedish and/or German is an advantage.
