About Altris

The energy transition needs new chemistry. At Altris we design, develop, and industrialise sodium-ion battery technology to enable safe, cost-effective, and scalable energy storage — built from abundant materials in Europe, for Europe, and beyond. As one of Europe’s first sodium-ion leaders, we are building a resilient supply chain and accelerating electrification across mobility, stationary storage, and low-voltage applications.

Joining Altris means helping to shape a new industry, not just a new product.

The Role

We are hiring a Business Controller to strengthen our financial performance engine during an important growth phase. You will work closely with R&D, Operations, Strategy, and Commercial project teams — providing clarity, structure, and accurate financial insights to drive decision-making.

Your scope covers budgeting, forecasting, scenario analysis, accounting and audit, project controlling, and business case modelling. You will help us operationalise scale: from processes and cost models to ERP development and reporting frameworks.

This is a role for someone who thrives in complexity, owns their domain, and brings order to ambiguity. Having scaled this prior at a start/scale-up or Big-4 experience is a massive advantage.

What You’ll Do

- Lead preparation of project budgets, forecasts, and cost follow-up against plan

- Monitor variances, provide actionable insights, and recommend corrective measures

- Produce clear monthly, quarterly and annual reporting packages for management and external stakeholders

- Perform cash-flow analysis and forecasting to support runway planning

- Support scenario planning, unit economics, and investment cases for customers and partners

- Ensure quality control over financial transactions and reporting flows

- Contribute to ERP optimisation for project controlling, revenue recognition and cost allocation

- Define and document processes to improve financial hygiene and scalability

- Lead basic accounting activities (accruals, supplier and customer accounting=

- Support accounting operations including cost accounting and project reporting together with our external service provider

- Prepare, own and execute on annual audits and monthly closing activities. 

Who You Are

You are analytical, structured, and comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment with a mixture of R&D, industrialisation, and commercial activities. You enjoy designing clarity from complexity, and you want to constantly improve how the business works, not just report on it.

Experience & Background

- 4–6 years of relevant experience in business controlling, finance, or management accounting

- Experience in project controlling and cost control (required)

- Exposure to manufacturing, industrial, or technology development environments (preferred)

- Experience from Big-4 audit/advisory or scale-up environments is a strong advantage

- BSc/MSc in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or equivalent

Skills & Behaviours

- Highly organised with strong analytical capabilities

- Proactive, curious, and comfortable asking the “why” behind the numbers

- Structured communication: clarity over complexity

- Comfortable in high-pressure contexts where priorities shift

- Strong interpersonal skills, trust-building, and ability to collaborate with engineering teams

- Excellent written and spoken English (Swedish is a plus)

How This Role Connects to Our Values

Pioneering – “Think Different, Act as One”

You translate financial data into insight. You challenge assumptions. You bring clarity that enables innovation.

Progressing – “Act, Adapt, Advance”

You take ownership, drive timelines, and turn reporting cycles into learning cycles.

Persisting – “Keep Going, Keep Growing”

You follow through. You refine processes. You contribute to financial systems that scale with us.

What We Offer

- The opportunity to help build Europe’s sodium-ion ecosystem from the ground up

- Close collaboration with a cross-functional team of scientists, engineers, and operators

- A culture that rewards ownership, decisive action, and data-driven thinking

- Continuous development as we scale from pilot to industrial production

This Role is a Good Fit if You…

- Want to be close to the business, not hidden in a reporting silo

- See ambiguity as an invitation, not a blocker

- Enjoy designing processes and financial structures that scale

- Want your work to matter — environmentally, strategically, industrially
