• Acting as a trusted professional partner while maintaining independence and objectivity

You join a specialised and collaborative finance environment
The Group Financial Controlling and Reporting department is a small, specialised team within Finance, characterised by professionalism, trust and a constructive dialogue. We value curiosity, high standards and collaboration across functions and cultures. There is room to influence how we work and to develop your role over time while being part of ECCO’s extended family.
