Move forward as Business Controller at DSV in Venlo

Are you an analytical thinker with a passion for numbers and processes? Looking for a dynamic work environment where you can make a direct impact on strategic decision-making? Then this is your opportunity.

You get it done

Create real impact by translating the story behind the numbers into actionable improvements: you’re on it.

How you do this? As a business controller, you’re the key financial sparring partner for both the management and operational teams at our logistics sites in the Southeast Netherlands. You bring clarity and control to organisational performance through reporting, analysis, and forecasting. Your job is to monitor financial health and actively contribute to improving it. You’ll play a crucial role in turning data into action — both in day-to-day operations and on a strategic level. You’ll work closely with internal departments and our Shared Service Centre, ensuring everything is aligned with both internal and external financial regulations. You achieve this by:

• delivering accurate financial reporting and controlling for the sites;
• preparing budgets and forecasts;
• identifying improvement opportunities through in-depth analysis of cost structures and operational performance;
• advising on investment decisions and supporting strategic projects;
• optimising processes and conducting internal audits and controls.

Your team stands out within DSV by its strong collaboration, no-nonsense mindset and drive for continuous improvement. Your ideas will be heard, and you’ll work with colleagues to deliver visible results.
