ABOUT YOU

You are someone who takes initiative, thrives in an international and project‑driven environment, and enjoys creating value through strong financial insight and teamwork. You combine analytical strength with a hands‑on mentality and a drive to continuously improve.

You bring:

• A proactive, self‑starting mindset and enthusiasm for managing your own SRI projects or entities within Offshore Energy.
• Strong communication and analytical skills, and the ability to collaborate effectively across teams.
• Affinity with data, BI tools, automation, and process improvement, plus enthusiasm for project control and reporting standards.
• A bachelor's or master's degree in finance, at least 5 years of relevant international experience, and ideally exposure to complex, project‑oriented environments.
