Orffa is an international specialist in feed additives and nutritional solutions, headquartered in Breda and operating in more than 75 countries worldwide. To further strengthen its commercial and financial performance, Orffa is introducing a new Business Controller position. With a primary focus on EMEA and involvement across APAC and The Americas, you will play a key role in developing business control, analysing performance and turning insights into concrete commercial recommendations and actions that improve profitability and drive growth.

As Orffa's first Business Controller, you will help build the business control function within an international, commercially driven organisation. Reporting directly to Rik Meulemans, Head of Finance EMEA & Corporate, your primary focus will be on EMEA, with involvement across APAC and The Americas.
You will analyse financial and commercial performance across products, customers and markets, going beyond explaining the numbers. You form your own perspective, identify where action is needed and translate findings into concrete recommendations that improve profitability and drive growth. Working closely with Sales and regional management, you will also help strengthen budgeting and forecasting processes.

With a wealth of data already available, you will take a hands-on approach to developing dashboards, management reporting and BI initiatives. Your focus is on turning data into meaningful insights that support commercial decisions and drive improvements.
As a proactive business partner to regional Managing Directors and colleagues across Finance, Sales and Supply Chain, you bring an independent perspective, challenge existing ways of working and initiate improvements in product mix, pricing, customer profitability and operational efficiency. You take ownership of your recommendations and help drive their implementation, ensuring insights translate into tangible results.

This newly created role offers the freedom to shape business control, introduce new ideas and make a direct impact on Orffa's international growth.

You are an analytical, curious and commercially minded finance professional who enjoys understanding the story behind the numbers. You are motivated by identifying opportunities, challenging assumptions and driving improvements. Rather than waiting for information or direction, you take initiative, explore the available data and actively look for ways to create value.

You thrive in an international, entrepreneurial environment where not everything is predefined. The opportunity to build something new appeals to you, and you enjoy combining financial analysis with practical implementation. You are comfortable developing your own reports and dashboards, while also engaging with senior stakeholders to discuss commercial performance and strategic priorities.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills are essential. You can translate complex analyses into clear recommendations and are comfortable forming and expressing your own opinion, even when this means challenging established views or suggesting a different course of action. You know how to build relationships, gain support for your ideas and encourage others to take action.

Above all, you are hands-on, proactive and eager to make an impact. You enjoy working close to the business and are looking for a position where you can take ownership, develop professionally and contribute directly to an organisation's commercial success

"We are looking for someone who combines strong analytical capabilities with a genuine interest in the business. Someone who is curious, proactive and comfortable taking ownership in an environment where business control is still being developed. You are not afraid to challenge existing views, form your own opinions and turn insights into concrete recommendations and actions. With your pragmatic, hands-on approach and strong communication skills, you know how to engage stakeholders and drive meaningful improvements across the business."

• A completed university degree in Finance, Business Economics, Business Administration or a related field.
• Approximately 1–3 years of relevant experience in business analysis, finance, consultancy or a similar analytical role.
• Strong analytical skills and a genuine affinity with data, financial modelling and business performance.
