Are you ready to turn your passion for the outdoors into a career? For nearly 100 years, we’ve been crafting the ultimate outdoor equipment, enabling people to push beyond boundaries and embrace nature in its rawest form. Our mission, "Welcome to nature," drives everything we do—from designing cutting-edge gear for skiers, climbers, and explorers, to promoting responsible business practices that protect the environments we love.
We’re now searching for adventurous, forward-thinking individuals to join us on our mission. If you’re ready to be part of a brand that lives and breathes the spirit of exploration, Norrøna is where your next great adventure begins.
"Welcome to nature"
We are seeking a candidate with strong financial expertise to fill the role as our Financial Business Controller at Norrøna. This position will be vital in providing insights to drive retail operations, contributing to both financial planning, reporting, and operational efficiency across the company’s global retail footprint.
This is an exciting opportunity to advance your career with a premium outdoor brand committed to becoming a leader in sustainable business practices. The role primarily focuses on Norrøna Retail, which operates 38 stores across Europe and the U.S., including Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Switzerland, and the USA, as well as partner stores worldwide. You will be part of a finance team of 9 colleagues and report directly to the CFO, playing a key role in supporting both the Retail division and the overall group with impactful financial analysis and business partnering.

About the role
As a Financial Business Controller at Norrøna, your primary role will be focused on financial controlling, where you will provide financial insights to support decision-making and improve operational efficiency. You will play an essential role in analyzing financial performance, identifying trends, and offering recommendations to optimize the company’s financial health. This position will involve budgeting and forecasting, ensuring that financial plans are aligned with business goals, while monitoring key performance metrics across our retail operations. By overseeing cash flow and liquidity management, you will help the company maintain strong financial stability. While the primary focus will be on financial analysis and planning, your role will occasionally involve collaborating on accounting tasks to support the broader finance team.
In addition to controlling tasks, you will contribute to the ongoing automatization projects within the department.
