Manufacturing investment controller

Nordic Investin is recruiting a Manufacturing Investment Controller on behalf of one of our partner companies. You see finance as both a decision and control function, combining accuracy with the curiosity to turn numbers into action.

The partner is strengthening its capability in investment control for production technology and capacity programmes. You will take responsibility for work that connects capital expenditure, business cases and project follow-up, while ensuring that depreciation and scenarios receive appropriate discipline. The objective is progress that colleagues can use and leaders can evaluate.

Finance values dependable reporting, strong controls and constructive partnership. Success means better decisions, fewer surprises and trusted information.

How you will work

You will work close to the stakeholders responsible for revenue, cost, projects or operations. The partner expects you to test assumptions, explain uncertainty and translate analysis into a small number of useful actions. Credibility will come from both financial discipline and curiosity about the business.

This role calls for independent judgement and the ability to raise the quality around you. You will be expected to recognise when a decision needs wider expertise, make trade-offs visible and move work forward without creating unnecessary process.

What you will do

• Own the practical direction for investment control for production technology and capacity programmes.
• Translate goals and constraints into a clear approach for capital expenditure and business cases.
• Establish useful standards, routines or artefacts around project follow-up.
• Coordinate stakeholders and dependencies affecting depreciation.
• Use evidence and measurable outcomes to improve scenarios.
• Strengthen knowledge sharing, decision quality and sustainable ownership across the team.

What you will bring

• Relevant experience delivering investment control for production technology and capacity programmes in a demanding environment.
• Strong working knowledge of capital expenditure and business cases.
• Practical experience applying project follow-up and depreciation.
• Ability to assess risk, priorities and trade-offs involving scenarios.
• Evidence of clear stakeholder communication and dependable end-to-end ownership.
• Professional English and the judgement to work with sensitive or business-critical information.

Experience that would add value

• Experience from manufacturing, energy or industrial expansion.
• Exposure to steering committees in a cross-functional environment.
• Swedish language skills or experience working across Nordic organisations.

A background that can succeed here

Your background may be group finance, operations, audit, advisory or a growing business. Show the controls and decisions you owned and the outcome. Direct experience of investment control for production technology and capacity programmes is valuable, while adjacent experience counts when it shows transferable judgement.

What makes the opportunity interesting

The role combines professional depth with meaningful business questions and room to improve the processes behind the numbers. The focus on investment control for production technology and capacity programmes gives the role a clear mission and room to influence priorities and measures of success.

The exact partner, employment model, compensation, start date and working arrangement will be explained openly during the process. Nordic Investin will make sure you understand the opportunity before asking you to make a decision.

The recruitment conversation

Nordic Investin will focus on decisions you have made: the context, alternatives, result and what you would change today. You will also have room to test whether the role and partner environment are right for you.
