Site Controller I in Lelystad, Nederland

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
