Treasury & Insurance Controller

As our new Treasury & Insurance Controller, you will play a pivotal role in transforming raw financial data into actionable insights that guide strategic decisions within Action. Acting as the right hand of the Head of Treasury & Insurance, you help build the foundation for a fully data driven department. In this key role, you work on innovation, automation, and governance — ensuring high quality reporting, strong controls, and a scalable structure to support our fast growing organization.

This is your daily Action

In this role, you combine strategic thinking with hands on execution. You:

• Ensure data completeness, accuracy and consistency across all Treasury & Insurance domains (cash, FX, debt, derivatives, fees, insurance premiums, losses & recoveries) through embedded controls and intelligent reconciliations.
• Perform and continuously improve reconciliations as operational quality checks that enable automation rather than manual accounting.
• Provide validated, well documented inputs to Accounting, Business Control and Executive Management for close cycles, budgeting and periodic reporting.
• Shift control activities upstream by improving data flows, system integrations, and validations, becoming the pivot between business needs and IT data models.
• Build toward an exception based workflow, automating standard reporting and designing an integrated Reporting Cockpit that combines policies, dashboards and market data.
• Support risk exposure management by identifying insurable risks, centralizing data and contributing to redesigned insurance programs.
• Lead reporting around all treasury and insurance related costs, including interest expenses.
• Ensure team continuity by taking over core tasks when colleagues are out of office, gaining a broad understanding of Treasury & Insurance operations.

Meet your team

You will join a small but highly driven team consisting of:

• Treasury Operations: 2 FTE
• Insurance Operations: 1 FTE
• Head of Treasury & Insurance
• You — the Treasury & Insurance Controller

We work closely together in a high performing environment where accuracy, curiosity and ownership are key — and where having fun at work is equally important.

This is you

You bring energy, ownership and a strong drive to build. You may not tick every box yet, but you are eager to learn and grow into a true Treasury & Insurance expert.

You also bring:

• A background in controlling, preferably Treasury or Insurance.
• Solid understanding of cashflow reporting and internal controls.
• A mindset where controls enable quality, trust, and automation — not bureaucracy.
• A “professionally lazy” approach: you automate manual tasks and design smart workflows.
• At least 8–10 years of experience in a challenging, high growth environment (for example Big 4 experience or business control in retail).
• A proactive, independent attitude, feeling comfortable taking the lead in projects while representing T&I interests.
• You thrive in a dynamic setting and enjoy stepping outside your comfort zone with the support of the Head of Treasury & Insurance.

What we offer

• A dynamic and entrepreneurial environment where innovation and automation are key.
• The opportunity to build new capabilities and shape the future Treasury & Insurance landscape.
• A role with significant visibility within senior management.
• Room for personal development, learning and growth in a fast expanding international organization.

How we contribute to society

Treasury & Insurance plays a central role in safeguarding Action’s financial health and supporting sustainable growth. By strengthening our data, controls and risk management processes, you contribute to building a robust, resilient and future proof organization.
