Logistics at full potential

Are you a finance professional who enjoys being close to the operation, influencing business decisions, and driving performance rather than simply reporting on it?

At GXO, we're looking for an experienced Site Controller to become a key member of our team in Lelystad . In this role, you'll partner with the Site Manager and senior stakeholders to steer the financial performance of a large-scale logistics operation, providing the commercial insight and challenge needed to support growth, efficiency, and customer success.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond traditional reporting and take ownership of a complex P&L in a fast-paced, highly operational environment where your analysis and recommendations directly influence business decisions.

What you'll be doing

Acting as the financial lead and trusted business partner for the site leadership team
Owning the full site P&L and driving financial performance across the operation
Providing insight, challenge, and recommendations to improve profitability and operational efficiency
Leading monthly close, financial reporting, forecasting, and annual budgeting activities
Identifying key cost drivers, trends, risks, and opportunities across the business
Ensuring robust financial controls and compliance standards are maintained
Partnering with operational, commercial, and customer-facing teams to support strategic decision-making
Managing customer invoicing processes and supporting commercial discussions where required
Translating complex financial data into clear, actionable business insight

What you'll bring

Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Economics, or a related field
A demonstrable track record of experience in Controlling, Finance Business Partnering, or Commercial Finance
Strong analytical and commercial acumen combined with a hands-on approach
Experience managing budgets, forecasts, and financial reporting in a dynamic environment
The confidence to challenge, influence, and support stakeholders at multiple levels
Advanced Excel skills and experience with ERP systems
Fluent English communication skills essential
Experience within logistics, supply chain, manufacturing, or a 3PL environment is highly desirable

What's in it for you?

Competitive salary and annual bonus scheme
A highly visible role supporting a leading global fashion brand within a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same
Direct influence on operational and commercial performance
The opportunity to work alongside experienced operational leaders and senior stakeholders
Hybrid working and flexibility
Access to GXO University and a wide range of development opportunities
An international environment with clear career progression opportunities across GXO's global network
