About The Position

As Group Financial Controller, you will own the financial numbers across Stravito’s Swedish, UK and US entities, from transactions through internal management, board and investor reporting. You will work hands-on in a small finance team with a broad scope, reporting to the VP Finance and collaborating with the CEO, leadership team and external partners.

You will help make finance accurate, timely and less reliant on manual work. Alongside owning the numbers, you will improve how the finance function operates, including determining where AI and automation can help, where people need to be involved, and what work to automate or bring in-house while maintaining strong controls. Success in the role means a faster close, confident reporting and more time for insights.

The role can be based in Stockholm on a hybrid basis or remotely. Candidates must currently be resident for tax purposes in Sweden, the Netherlands or the UK; Sweden is preferred.

• Hands-on use of AI tools in your own work and motivation to put scalable systems in place.
• Enjoyment of startup pace and ambiguity, and a desire to change how things are done as well as keep them running.
• Fluent English.
