Your future role

Take on a new challenge and leverage your financial management expertise in an advanced field. You will work with collaborative and dynamic teams, and play a key role in optimizing the financial performance of high-criticality projects, contributing to the overall success of our strategic initiatives.

On a daily basis, you will closely collaborate with project managers, financial teams, and other specialized departments (legal, operational excellence, platforms, etc.), providing financial analyses, advice, and guidance to support strategic decision-making. You will also be an active partner in the negotiation and risk and opportunity assessment processes.

• Optimize the financial aspects of projects, including organization, taxation, coverage, and financing.
• Provide reliable financial analyses and recommendations to improve contractual margins and working capital.
• Ensure strict compliance with accounting, tax, and regulatory standards (IFRS).
• Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to ensure project success.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of financial processes and tools.
• Mentor and train junior financial project managers to develop their skills in managing low-criticality projects.
• Establish strategic networks with internal and external financial actors involved in projects.
• Your profile

We place more importance on passion and mindset than on experience. That's why we don't expect you to have all the skills. We have rather drawn up a list of those that, in our opinion, will help you succeed and thrive in this role:

• A bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, or a similar field.
• At least 5 years of experience in financial project management or similar fields.
• Knowledge of the industrial environment and experience in industrial cost control are desirable.
• Experience in audit or operational project management would be an asset.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage priorities.

• Team spirit and ability to collaborate in a multicultural environment.
