Head of Business Finance

Full-time

ABB E-mobility

The Head of Business Finance is a high-impact role for a strategic finance leader who turns data into decisions and challenges the status quo.
At the heart of our business — combining strategic partnering, FP&A, and performance management — you'll have direct exposure to the CFO, Leadership Team, Board, and shareholders, while leading a talented international finance team and driving profitable growth.
We're not looking for a controller. We're looking for a builder — someone who can transform Business Finance into a forward-leaning function powered by modern analytics, automation, and AI. Less manual reporting, more actionable insight. Faster forecasting, better decisions.
If you're ready to shape what finance looks like tomorrow, we'd like to hear from you.
What You Will Do
This role sits at the center of professionalizing and scaling finance into a true engine for value creation — delivering sharper insights, stronger performance management and better decision support. A key part of the mandate is building a forward-leaning, AI-driven team that uses data, automation and AI as practical tools, not buzzwords. For a finance leader who wants to be close to the business, close to decision-making, and directly involved in shaping both company performance and the future of finance — this is that opportunity.
More Specifically
Serve as a senior sparring partner to the CFO, Executive Team and business leaders, delivering fact-based insights on performance, risks and value drivers
Translate financial analysis into concrete recommendations that improve revenue, margin, cash flow and enterprise value
Constructively challenge business plans and decisions with a commercial mindset
Own the full budgeting, forecasting and long-range planning cycle, including high-quality variance analysis and scenario modelling
Ensure leadership always has a clear view of performance, assumptions, risks and required actions
Transform Business Finance into a modern, insight-led function using data, analytics, automation and AI
Automate recurring reporting and forecasting to free up capacity for higher-value analysis and decision support
Drive adoption of AI-enabled tools and build team capability in data literacy, analytical thinking and financial modelling
Partner with Finance Transformation, IT and business teams to build scalable analytics solutions and a single trusted view of performance
Lead and develop an international team of Finance Business Partners and FP&A professionals
Build a high-performance culture: analytical, proactive, commercially oriented and accountable
Coach team members to grow as business partners and value creators, with clear roles, priorities and deliverables
Foster strong cross-functional collaboration across finance, commercial, operations and technology
Turn complex financial data into clear, compelling narratives that drive decisions
Prepare high-quality materials for the Executive Team, Board and shareholders — ensuring all reporting is decision-useful, not just accurate
What You Will Bring
You are a seasoned finance leader with a strong commercial instinct/passion. You combine rigorous analytical thinking with the confidence to challenge senior stakeholders, and the leadership skills to build and inspire a high-performing international team. You are hands-on, structured and action-oriented — and you are genuinely excited about using AI and automation to make finance smarter, faster and more impactful.
More specifically, we are looking for a professional that brings:
Significant FP&A, business finance or commercial finance experience, including leading international teams
Deep understanding of P&L, margin dynamics, cash flow and value drivers, with strong analytical skills across modelling, scenario analysis and performance diagnostics
Experienced in budgeting, forecasting, long-range planning and management reporting, with direct exposure to senior executives and board-level reporting
Able to translate complex financial data into clear insights and actionable recommendations, with excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
Practical experience using AI, automation and analytics to modernise finance and move away from manual, spreadsheet-heavy ways of working
Master's degree in Finance, Economics, Business Administration, Engineering, Data/Analytics or related field; additional qualifications such as CFA, CPA, ACCA, CMA or MBA are a plus
Background in technology, manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, automotive or high-growth international business preferred
Hands-on, pragmatic and results-driven; able to create structure without bureaucracy in a high-growth, scale-up environment
Analytical and commercial: you get to the real drivers behind performance, not just how results are reported
Direct and constructive: you challenge senior stakeholders with confidence and without unnecessary friction
Structured and action-oriented: you run robust planning cycles and stay focused on decisions and execution
Forward-leaning and pragmatic about technology: you find practical ways to use AI, automation and analytics to make finance faster and smarter
A capability builder and team leader: you develop people analytically, digitally and as business partners, and thrive leading international teams in high-growth environments
What We Can Offer
Work with the best specialists in their field, in a diverse environment with unparalleled global reach. Feel inspired by our strong strategy and laser focus on the market and the leading portfolio in the EV charging world. See our latest product here: OM X-Series | ABB E-mobility
