Here's what you'll be doing with us

As Business Control Manager, you advise, inform, and are accountable for the allocation of resources for public broadcasting. You are responsible for the level of the business control function within the NPO. You assess and promote the effectiveness and efficiency of this allocation. You report to the Director of Finance, lead the Business Control department, which has three employees, and are part of the Finance Department’s management team, whose members collaborate in a collegial manner and support one another across portfolios.

In your role as Business Control Manager, you will coach the business controllers, adopting a people-oriented approach and effectively managing resistance. You will optimize the department’s work processes and ensure a high standard of work quality. In addition, you will formulate, monitor, and implement the long-term business control policy, translating it into annual plans.

As a manager, you are responsible for implementing HR policies within your team. This includes conducting performance reviews, evaluations, and progress meetings, as well as fostering the development of your team members.

In collaboration with colleagues within the Finance Department, you will provide relevant financial and non-financial management information to the Chief Financial Officer and, indirectly, to the Board of Directors and the executive team. You will also support management in providing accountability for the management of allocated budgets and, to that end, further develop management information systems, among other things. Throughout the year, you will assess the forecast and budget utilization together with the business controllers based on quarterly reports. In addition, you will carry out the substantive planning and control cycle (internally). You will budget, monitor, and report on the progress of the NPO annual plan and fully implement business control and accountability.

People who are enthusiastic, results-oriented, proactive, and driven to help themselves and others grow are a great fit for our team.
