You'll be the finance partner sitting close to executive decisions across our markets - responsible for financial reporting, budgeting, analysis, and the cross-functional collaboration that turns data into decisions.

What you need to be successful in this role? - 5+ years in financial reporting, controlling, or FP&A, with proven experience partnering with senior leadership. - Background in high-growth tech, e-commerce, or digital environments is a strong plus. - Deep knowledge of accounting principles, IFRS/GAAP, reporting standards, and valuation methodologies. - Understanding of internal controls and risk management frameworks. - Experience with OneStream, Anaplan, Tableau, or advanced analytics tools is highly desirable. - Data-driven and innovation-focused, with a track record of process improvement and automation in finance. - Proven ability to challenge the status quo and lead change in a complex organization. - Strong communicator who builds trust and influences stakeholders across remote, multicultural teams. - Comfortable working independently and in cross-functional, matrixed settings. - Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, business, economics, or a related field. - Fluent English required; additional languages are a plus. What can you expect from us? - Employment contract with a rich benefits package (benefits available through the MyBenefit platform, including private medical care, life insurance, Multisport card, restaurant card, cinema/theater/concert tickets, vouchers, and more). - Working in a fast-growing company that impacts the daily lives of millions of users, facilitating win-win transactions. - A relaxed and informal work environment with opportunities for growth within the company. - Company events and team outings. - Opportunities to participate in charity initiatives organized by OLX. - Extensive development opportunities, including training, webinars, access to an e-learning platform, employer-funded English classes, and much more.
