Building Beyond Technology Group (BBTG) began to take shape in 2025 when IceLake initiated a buy-and-build strategy to form an AI-first technology group through its first acquisition of Rubicon (March), closely followed by Navara / Harvest (May), OGD (July), Infiniot (November) and Bauhaus ArtITech (November). As BBTG continues to scale rapidly as a group, the need for clear insight, aligned performance steering and a unified financial operating model grows with it. As Group Business Controller, you will play a crucial role in this journey.
In this position, you report directly to the Group CFO and act as his right hand in building strong, unified group structures. You will have a strong working relationship with the CFOs, finance community and leadership teams within the acquired companies and will have direct exposure to the shareholders, lenders, external advisors and other stakeholders.
The BBTG group performance management and reporting structures will have to be set up at a level appropriate for a PE-backed platform and structured with a future exit process in mind. You take ownership of the consolidated management reporting, from monthly group updates for management and shareholders to recurring and ad-hoc analyses. To do so, you build and maintain a shared KPI framework and financial models, ensuring a uniform structure, shared metrics and clear definitions. You do this in close collaboration with the Group CFO and CFOs within the companies and support and guide colleagues across the Group in adopting the new structures.
You also play a central role in BBTG’s budgeting and forecasting cycles, shaping and maintaining a standardized planning template that is used consistently across all operating companies. Within this cycle, you review and challenge business performance with sharp and improvement insights.
You will be involved in the strategic process to continuously improve the operating model and financial structures, ensuring that underlying financial processes and systems within the companies are structured, comparable and scalable, enabling alignment on targets, utilizing synergies and scale and enabling the seamless integration of future acquisitions as the BBTG Group continues to grow.
Beyond setting up and managing the performance cycle, you drive key strategic finance initiatives that support BBTG’s long-term direction. You contribute to M&A activity through financial due diligence and by integrating newly acquired companies into the Group’s reporting and performance landscape. You develop financial models, scenario analyses and business cases that support strategic projects and investment decisions, and you carry out market and competitor analyses that help shape BBTG’s strategic agenda.
As the Group matures in the coming years, you will play an important role in exit readiness and VDD process.
You combine solid financial expertise with curiosity, energy and a hands-on way of working. You enjoy diving into data, creating structure and shaping reporting frameworks that scale with the organization. What motivates you is turning numbers into clear insights and partnering with teams across the business to drive performance. You approach challenges with a proactive, collaborative mindset and bring the ambition and eagerness to grow in a dynamic, buy-and-build environment.
“As a PE-backed buy-and-build platform, BBTG is on an ambitious growth trajectory, and this role places you at the heart of that transformation. You help shape the financial operating model of an organisation where finance, strategy and value creation intersect, working on the levers that drive the Group forward: reporting, performance steering, M&A, integration and strategic decision-making. Few roles offer such broad, high-impact exposure in a fast-evolving tech environment, creating a steep and rewarding learning curve for your development.”
