Cost Controller

Location: Manchester or Slough

Today, Lonza is a global leader in life sciences operating across three continents. While we work in science, there’s no magic formula to how we do it. Our greatest scientific solution is talented people working together, devising ideas that help businesses to help people. In exchange, we let our people own their careers. Their ideas, big and small, genuinely improve the world. And that’s the kind of work we want to be part of.

We are currently looking for a Cost Controller.

Key responsibilities:

- Ensure accurate month-end close (accruals, prepayments, reclassifications, cost center reviews)
- Report and explain results to Finance and Non-Finance stakeholders
- Plan costs and FTEs during Budget and Outlook cycles
- Provide financial advice and support to decision making: advise on costs
- FTEs, planning and reporting
- Support improvement initiatives
- Be a trusted partner to Finance and Business stakeholders

Key requirements:

- Degree in a relevant Finance related field
- At least 3 years of tangible post-qualified experience in finance related functions (controlling preferred)
- Strong analytical skills with high attention to detail
- Interpersonal skills with the ability to build strong relationships and communicate effectively in order to explain financial concepts to non-finance people
- Solid organizational, planning, critical thinking, and problem solving skills
- Excellent Microsoft Excel skills, and general computer skills particularly with accounting systems (SAP preferred) and reporting (BW)
- Experience with Business Intelligence tools (Power BI preferred)
- Fluent in English (oral and written)

Every day, Lonza’s products and services have a positive impact on millions of people. For us, this is not only a great privilege, but also a great responsibility. How we achieve our business results is just as important as the achievements themselves. At Lonza, we respect and protect our people and our environment. Any success we achieve is no success at all if not achieved ethically.

People come to Lonza for the challenge and creativity of solving complex problems and developing new ideas in life sciences. In return, we offer the satisfaction that comes with improving lives all around the world. The satisfaction that comes with making a meaningful difference.
