Business (Commercial) Controller

Your scope of work

You are the financial co-pilot of the commercial organization, helping steer hundreds of millions of euros in Goods Income, margin and profitability across MediaMarkt Benelux.

As Business (Commercial) Controller, you don't simply report performance, you help shape it. Together with Category Management and Commercial Leadership, you identify opportunities, challenge assumptions and translate financial insights into commercial actions that drive growth and profitability.

You understand the story behind the numbers, the opportunities behind the strategy and the actions required to make an impact. Whether it is Goods Income, supplier funding, margin development or stock performance, you help the business make smarter decisions every day.

• Drive and challenge commercial performance by identifying opportunities, risks and actions related to sales, margin, Goods Income and profitability.
• Act as the financial business partner for Category Management and Commercial Leadership, influencing decision-making through fact-based insights and commercial challenge.
• Lead forecasting, budgeting and performance reviews, translating financial results into actions that improve business outcomes and support strategic priorities.
• Translate supplier agreements, category performance and commercial initiatives into actions that optimize margin, Goods Income and profitability.
• Drive continuous improvement by simplifying processes, standardizing reporting and increasing automation, enabling the business to focus on steering rather than reporting.

Who are you?

You are full of energy and thrive in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same. Variety in your work and new challenges give you extra drive to spot opportunities and take initiative. With your proactive mindset, you actively contribute to the team, as you believe the best results are achieved together. You switch easily and adapt quickly to what’s needed. Do you recognize yourself in this? Then you’re a perfect fit for MediaMarkt! 

• HBO or WO degree in Finance, Business Economics, Controlling, or a related field.
• Minimum of 3 years of relevant experience in Business Controlling, Commercial Finance, or a comparable financial role.
• Strong understanding of commercial finance, margin management, and profitability steering.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel and SAP; experience with Power BI or similar analytics tools is an advantage.
• Experience partnering with commercial stakeholders and influencing business decision-making.
• Experience in retail, FMCG, wholesale, or another commercially driven environment is considered a strong advantage.
• Good command of both Dutch and English, spoken and written.
