-A numbers-savvy profile with both structure and intuition?

We’re looking for someone who’s ready to take the reins of a key finance role for our operations in Portugal.

This is not just a maternity leave cover – this is a one-year opportunity to step into a critical position with the chance to stay, if you prove you’ve got what it takes.

⚙️What you'll do:

• Be the finance go-to person for the Portuguese unit.
• Handle monthly closings, taxes, audits, and reporting.
• Lead the transition to SAGE X3 and take ownership of ERP processes.
• Ensure compliance with Portuguese legislation, deadlines and all things regulation.
• Coordinate with the HQ and help make finance feel like a team, not a silo.

🔎What we expect:

• Experience in finance (1–3 years).
• Hands-on knowledge of Excel, ERPs (ideally SAGE), accounting, audits and taxes.
• Understanding of Portuguese accounting and tax laws.
• Strong communication skills (yes, you’ll need to speak human, not just numbers).
• Ownership mindset: you don’t wait to be told what to do.

🤝 What we offer:

• Competitive salary based on your experience.
• A year-long contract to cover a maternity leave.
• Possibility of staying on, depending on performance.
• A solid industrial company with a long-term vision and stable team.
