Senior Corporate SG&A Manager at Oatly
We believe finance should fuel better decisions, not just reports. Work closely with global leaders at Oatly to challenge the usual, calm SG&A chaos, and turn data into smart choices!
WHY OATLY?
Across the world people’s consumption habits and diets are evolving to be more plant-based. Enter Oatly, the #1 oat based dairy alternative producer in the world with products spanning multiple categories.
We’re determined on being part of the discussion on the long-term future of the food and beverage industry. To keep this movement going, we need more brilliant minds to come work with us to keep the momentum going and the Oatly flowing.
Our sole purpose as a company is to make it easy for people to turn what they eat and drink into personal moments of healthy joy without recklessly taxing the planet’s resources in the process.
Sustainability, nutritional health and trust are at the heart of what we do. We are building a culture that constantly upgrades each other so we can upgrade the planet. This is a company that shows great respect and a fearless approach to make positive change. Does this feel exciting? Well, this is where you come in.
WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DO
The purpose of the role is two-fold:
We will be the financial business partner to Oatly’s global functions and enable data-driven decision-making by translating financial data into actionable business insights, while performing the standard business controller activities. And you will also design, challenge, and influence the financial decisions and SG&A agenda for all global functions. This means leading or participating in initiatives to optimize our cost, processes, or systems to ensure we keep being more efficient with every financial choice we make.
Business Partnering:
Collaborate closely and be the financial ‘go-to’ person for senior leaders in Oatly global functions. You do more than report on results but are able to challenge and influence decisions and navigate and resolve trade-offs, supported by data and clear and open communication.
Strategic SG&A initiatives:
Lead initiatives to challenge and rethink our SG&A cost structure. This can involve analysing the drivers of a cost category such as travel or professional services, finding efficiencies in our processes and ways of working, or even reviewing our data and systems to drive better visibility and predictability.
Long-Term Planning:
Lead the forecast, budget, long-term planning processes in tandem with functional leaders, ensuring alignment with the company’s financial goals and the strategy of each of the functions.
Performance monitoring and reporting:
Monitor and support the historical performance (eg, month end or quarter end), providing timely, accurate and detailed insights.
In this role, you will report to the Head of Finance Global Functions and Strategic Finance. The position is primarily based in Malmö, at our HQ. Applicants that are located near select Oatly offices in Europe will also be considered (Stockholm, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Paris).
