Group Controller - Hultafors Group
This is an opportunity for a business‑minded controller who wants to work close to Group management, influence how we work with numbers and sustainability, and contribute to the continued development.
As Group Controller at Hultafors Group, you will play a key role in ensuring high-quality financial reporting and driving development initiatives across the Group’s finance and reporting landscape.
The position
As Group Controller, you are responsible for the accuracy and follow‑up of the Group’s monthly closing and reporting, as well as for driving improvements in processes, routines and systems within Group Finance. You work both independently and in close collaboration with colleagues in Group Finance and other Group functions.
A central part of the role is to support monthly analysis, budget and forecast work, and to take an active role in developing the Group’s sustainability reporting, including further strengthening the Group‑wide greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting (Scopes 1–3). This is not a pure reporting role—you are expected to take ownership and contribute to improving ways of working.
You report to the Director Group Controlling.

Take a leading role in the Group’s sustainability reporting, including GHG (Scopes 1–3), ensuring consistent and high‑quality data
Coordinate and support local sustainability reporting contacts in subsidiaries
Act as a proactive business partner to Group functions and perform ad hoc analyses to support strategic decision‑making
Your profile
You are a self‑driven, analytical and business‑oriented person with a strong interest in reporting, business control and data, and a curiosity for how sustainability metrics can drive better business decisions. You enjoy working close to the business, building trust in an international environment, and improving ways of working. You combine a strong understanding of Group financial flows with attention to detail and a collaborative, solution‑oriented mindset.
University degree in Finance, Business Administration, Accounting or similar
3–5 years of relevant experience in controlling, accounting or audit
Solid knowledge of budgeting, forecasting, performance follow‑up and profitability analysis
Strong interest in sustainability; experience with sustainability or GHG data (Scopes 1–3) is an advantage
Experience from monthly closing and financial reporting, preferably in an international Group
Strong systems skills (ERP, reporting/BI tools) and very good Excel skills
Fluency in English; international experience is an advantage
