Head of Business Controlling (f/m/d) for an Individual Managed Business - #2717520

A Snapshot of Your Day

As Head of Business Controlling you take financial ownership of one of the four Individual Managed Businesses (IMB) within Siemens Energy's Transformation of Industry Business Area, a business of roughly €1 billion euros in revenue. You join at a genuinely formative moment: on 25 August 2026 Siemens Energy announced preparations for the legal and operational separation of Transformation of Industry into a standalone company, a fast-growing business with around 17,000 employees, €6 billion of revenue and a double-digit profit margin. You will therefore not only run business controlling, you will help define what business controlling looks like in an independent industrial energy solutions company. Your day moves between the numbers and the people behind them: a forecast review with the business leadership in the morning, a working session on carve-out financials at midday, coaching one of your controllers through a complex margin question in the afternoon. You lead an international team of more than 15 employees, you are the trusted sparring partner of the management team of your Individual Managed Business, and you translate strategy into financial results that stand up to scrutiny from investors, auditors and future owners alike. As preparations for a potential standalone company progress, the future Finance organization is also beginning to take shape: at the moment, the central Business Controlling team of Transformation of Industry is preparing to evolve towards a Corporate FP&A department, potentially bringing together more than 100 finance professionals. Structures, standards and ways of working are still being explored, and the people who join now can contribute to their development. You will not take over a finished set-up - you will have the opportunity to help shape it. In this position you report directly to the Vice President of FP&A and work alongside your peers in the FP&A management team.
