Hjort Knudsen has an ambition to be much hmore data-driven, and because of this we create a new position to be the driving force in this ambition.
Hjort Knudsen wants to identify the data which drive our performance and publish these in intuitive and visually appealing ways on an ongoing basis, so that our employees becomes able to take better decisions.
Because of this, you must not only have good analytical skills, but also experience and flair for presenting and communicating data in easy understandable ways.
A really good understanding and experience with Microsoft Excel goes without saying – especially in the areas of data processing and presentation (pivot-tables and visualization of data).
We plan to employ either Power BI or Tableau, so experience with these tools is a plus, but it is not a requirement – we will organize your learning of these if necessary.
You will be based in the Finance, but will have a group role and therefore report to the group CFO in Denmark.
To give you an idea about the job-content, the following reporting needs have currently been identified:
- Weekly order intake statistics
- Ad hoc analyses of order intake on different parameters
- Weekly production value calculation
- Monthly reporting on order intake and invoicing for different customers and countries
- Monthly profitability analyses on customers
- Weekly and monthly analyses over efficiency in the production
- Monthly analyses over realized costs compared to the calculated costs
- Monthly analyses of realized material cost vs. planned material cost for our main material groups (like leather, fabrics and so on).
These analyses must be created and send to all relevant recipients on an ongoing basis, and our goal is to consolidate these into relevant KPI’s to be published as well.
Apart from this, there will be ad hoc analyses for management on an on-going basis. These will often be made to detail and explain differences between calculated and realized costs.
We also expect that you are capable of identifying reasons for deviations, and follow up on these together with the relevant managers.
Training will be provided, so that you understand our business and the numbers which you prepare
