Lead Financial Controller

Imagine a future where you ensure trusted financial reporting in a complex, data-driven trading environment that supports the green energy transition.
Join us in this role where you’ll lead financial controlling for revenue and trading entities, owning close, reporting, and governance activities while ensuring accuracy, transparency, and compliance with IFRS. You’ll work closely with stakeholders across Finance, Trading & Revenue, Tax, and Legal, translating complex data into reliable insights that support sound decision-making.

Welcome to Financial Controlling
You’ll be part of Financial Controlling where you, together with your colleagues, will ensure high-quality financial reporting, robust governance, and continuous improvement across our Nordic revenue and trading entities. You’ll work in a highly collaborative, data-intensive environment with exposure to complex contracts, systems, and regulatory requirements.

As a team, we collaborate closely, support each other, and take pride in delivering accurate results through strong ownership, openness, and shared responsibility.

You’ll play an important role in:

• leading month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close for revenue and trading entities, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and IFRS compliance.
• preparing and reviewing annual financial statements and reporting packages under IFRS and Danish GAAP, coordinating with external auditors.
• owning IFRS 15 revenue recognition for trading and revenue-related contracts, including policies, estimates, disclosures, and contract assets and liabilities.
• ensuring data quality and integrity across large datasets, including reconciliations between trading systems and the general ledger, and master data governance.
• driving continuous improvements in close, reporting, data governance, documentation, and process standardisation across Nordic entities.
• supporting internal controls, governance, audits, statutory filings, management commentary, and ad-hoc financial analysis and business partnering.

To succeed in the role, you:

• have a master’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a related field, or equivalent experience, such as a Danish HD (Højere Diplomuddannelse) in finance or accounting with substantial practical experience; both paths are considered.
• bring strong practical experience with financial controlling and reporting in a complex, data-intensive environment, or equivalent experience.
• have solid IFRS knowledge, including hands-on experience with IFRS 15 revenue recognition, and knowledge of IFRS 9 and Danish GAAP.
• are comfortable working with large datasets, data extraction, reconciliations, and data quality and governance controls.
• communicate clearly in English and collaborate effectively with stakeholders across functions and seniority levels.
• apply a structured, analytical, and detail-oriented approach, even when working to tight deadlines.

Maybe you’ve read the above and can see you have some transferable skills, even though they don’t quite match all the points. If you think you can bring something to the team, we still encourage you to apply.

Please note that you’re expected to do some travelling in relation to your work, as you’ll visit other Ørsted locations and collaborate with stakeholders across Nordic entities.
