Senior AI Controlling Specialist (m/f/d)

Company Description

Job Description

At SIXT, Group Controlling isn't about numbers - it's about building the systems that turn data into decisions before anyone even asks. In our Controlling Data & Systems team, you sit at the intersection of finance and applied AI, building the tools and the data foundation that let leaders across the entire SIXT Group steer in real time - without hunting through dashboards. This is a build role: you ship AI tools that change how a €4bn+ company runs its finances. If you'd rather engineer the future of controlling than maintain its past, join Team Orange.

YOUR ROLE AT SIXT

You design and ship AI-based tools that push insights to leaders proactively - moving Controlling from reactive reporting toward autonomous, decision-ready intelligence

You own the trusted data foundation that powers everything we build - the Group's single source of truth that every AI agent, analysis, and forecast runs on

You identify automation potential and continuously improve our monthly closing processes to increase efficiency and reduce manual effort

You turn complex cost-pool data into sharp, decision-relevant narratives for CFO- and board-level audiences

You act as the go-to authority on the integrity of our controlling figures - when a number reaches the top, it's right

YOUR SKILLS MATTER

Education You hold a degree in Business Administration, Finance, Economics, or a comparable field - ideally with a focus on Controlling, Accounting, or Data Management

Experience You bring several years of hands-on experience in Controlling, Finance, or a related field, preferably within a large, complex organization or consultancy environment

Tools & Systems You are proficient in BI tools, ERP systems (e.g., SAP), and have a strong affinity for data modelling and process automation technologies

AI & Innovation You have a genuine enthusiasm for AI-driven solutions and have ideally already applied these in a finance or controlling context

Analytical Skills You think in structures, work precisely, and are able to translate large volumes of data into clear, decision-relevant narratives

Soft Skills You combine a high degree of ownership and self-motivation with strong communication skills, allowing you to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and senior stakeholders
