Group IT Controlling is looking for an IT Controller to support the Group IT Infrastructure and Security Department with cost controlling, budget planning, and administrative activities in line with Group recommendations and legal compliance. The IT Controller will report to the IT Controlling Team Lead and support IT Directors and other stakeholders.

Your primary responsibilities include day-to-day control and compliance for IT costs and the allocation of IT fees.

Additionally, you will contribute to initiatives aimed at improving cost transparency and enhancing cost reporting capabilities.

In the area of cost controlling, you will organize accurate tracking of IT expenses on a large scale, covering cost centers distributed globally.
