(Senior) Controller / Finance Business Partner (m/f/d)

You don't report what happened. You make sure we know what needs to happen next.

Pammys has grown to over 1 million customers in just four years and is one of Europe's fastest-growing e-commerce companies.

Today, over 150 employees at our locations in Hamburg, Kiel, and our own 22,000 m² logistics center in Lensahn are working to make Pammys a global footwear brand.

With revenue in the mid-8-figure range, several million euros in marketing investments per month, international growth, and millions of products, one thing is becoming increasingly important:

Financial control at the highest level.

That's why we are massively expanding our controlling department and are looking for four (Senior) Controllers / Finance Business Partners (m/f/d) to steer the next phase of growth together with us.

With us, it's not about managing Excel files or summarizing past numbers.

You are close to decisions, challenge assumptions, identify deviations early, and translate numbers into concrete actions.

Your Goal: Make growth profitable and always know which lever has the biggest financial impact.

• As a Finance Business Partner, you will be responsible for the financial control of one or more central business areas and work closely with the respective managers.
• You will manage relevant KPIs, budgets, and profitability figures and ensure that deviations are not only identified but actively addressed.
• You will analyze our P&L and contribution margins down to product, channel, market, or cost center level and identify concrete levers for improvement.
• You will create forecasts, scenario analyses, and business cases and transparently show the financial impact of different decisions.
• You will support our budget and annual planning and further develop it into a dynamic management tool.
• You will analyze cost developments and consistently question existing structures for efficiency, scalability, and profitability.
• Together with Finance and Data, you will develop meaningful management reports, dashboards, and early warning systems.
• You will ensure that our managers always have the numbers they actually need for their decisions.
• You will link operational KPIs with financial implications, thereby creating transparency about where we are making, losing, or should invest money.
• You will develop clear target visions, benchmarks, and performance KPIs for your areas of responsibility and support their implementation.
• You will support liquidity planning, cash flow management, and working capital management.
• You will analyze inventory, procurement, payment terms, and capital commitment and identify opportunities to improve our cash conversion cycle.
• You will further develop our controlling processes and consistently drive automation, standardization, and digitalization.
• You will work closely with the management board, finance, accounting, data, and the operational departments.

• You have completed a degree in Business Administration, Finance, Controlling, Economics, or a comparable qualification.
• You have several years of experience in Controlling, FP&A, or Finance Business Partnering.
• Experience from e-commerce, D2C, retail, fashion, FMCG, or a rapidly growing company is particularly exciting.
• You don't just understand a P&L technically; you can explain which operational decision is behind a change.
• Terms like contribution margin, cash flow, working capital, forecast, and business case are part of your daily toolkit.
• You are extremely proficient in Excel or Google Sheets and can analyze large amounts of data in a structured way.
• Experience with BI tools, ERP systems, and automated reporting is a big plus.
• You work analytically and precisely, but you don't get lost in analyses; you quickly arrive at a clear recommendation.
• You have the ambition to challenge numbers rather than just accept them.
• You can explain complex issues in a way that even non-finance professionals immediately understand what needs to be done.
• You work independently, take responsibility, and feel comfortable in an environment where decisions are made quickly and results are clearly measured.
• You have very good German and good English language skills.

• Real Influence: Your analyses don't end up in a presentation but directly in operational and strategic decisions.
• Direct Management Access: You will work closely with the management board, finance leadership, and the heads of our business units.
• Entrepreneurial Controlling: You will be given your own areas of responsibility and become a sparring partner for the respective managers.
• Exceptional Scaling: You will accompany a company on its journey from mid-8-figure to mid-9-figure revenue.
• Complexity to Grow With: E-commerce, marketing, international markets, in-house logistics, sourcing, and millions of products create a finance environment that goes far beyond traditional controlling.
• Design Instead of Administration: Many structures are just being built. You can actively help build processes, dashboards, KPIs, and control models.
• Short Decision Paths: No endless coordination loops. Good analyses are quickly translated into decisions.
• High-Performance Environment: Clear goals, measurable results, high personal responsibility, and the drive to continuously improve every area.
• Development Perspective: With further growth, additional areas of responsibility and leadership opportunities will arise within our finance team.
• Additional Benefits: Employee discounts, corporate benefits, free drinks, and other advantages.
