KUKA Nordic is looking for an experienced Finance Business Partner to support the Northern Europe organisation across the Nordics, Baltics, the UK and Ireland. This is a broad regional role where you will combine financial expertise with business partnering, working closely with senior stakeholders to strengthen financial performance, governance and business decision-making. If you are motivated by combining financial expertise with commercial impact, KUKA Nordic offers the opportunity to make a real difference across Northern Europe.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As Finance Business Partner, you will play a key role in supporting KUKA's Northern Europe organisation across the Nordics, Baltics, the UK and Ireland. As a member of the Northern Europe leadership team, you will combine financial expertise with commercial insight to support business decisions, strengthen financial governance and drive business performance across the region.
While transactional accounting and statutory reporting are managed by KUKA's Shared Service Center in Hungary, you will have the regional financial responsibility and act as the key link between the business, the SSC and Group Finance. Initially, the role requires a hands-on approach to support the ongoing transition and establish effective ways of working across the region.
Your responsibilities include:
- Acting as a trusted Finance Business Partner to the Northern Europe leadership team and Country Managers.
- Supporting strategic and commercial decision-making through financial analysis, business cases and performance insights.
- Leading budgeting, forecasting, performance management, and KPI follow-up across the region.

- Monitoring working capital, cash flow and overall financial performance while identifying opportunities to improve business results.
- Driving continuous improvements to finance processes and strengthening collaboration across the regional finance organisation.

We believe you have:
- A university degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics or Business Administration.
- Several years of experience in Finance, Business Partnering or Controlling within an international organisation.
- Familiarity with Shared Service Center or outsourced finance environments is preferred.
- A good understanding of IFRS and the ability to understand and work with financial reporting. Previous hands-on reporting experience is advantage, but not a requierment.
- An understanding of statutory and tax-related matters is a plus, while specialist tax expertise is not required.
- Experience working across multiple countries and legal entities.
- Strong Excel skills and, preferably, experience with SAP.
- Fluency in English. Swedish or another Nordic language is considered an advantage.
As a person, you are proactive, curious and comfortable taking initiative. You work independently, structure and prioritise your own work, and have the drive to move topics forward.
You are a clear and confident communicator who builds effective relationships with different stakeholders. You combine an analytical mindset with a practical approach and are comfortable asking questions, challenging when appropriate and contributing your perspective in business discussions.
