Lead Backoffice Business Controller

Do you thrive where operational precision and financial understanding come together?

As Lead Backoffice Controller, you play a leading role in strengthening and developing the operational setup behind our trading activities across power, gas and certificates.

With hands-on controlling, you are responsible for the day-to-day coordination and prioritisation within the backoffice team, ensuring stable operations, clear ownership and high quality in execution. At the same time, you act as a key link between daily operations and ongoing development – driving automation initiatives, improving processes and challenging existing workflows.

Working closely with Trading, Risk, Finance and IT, you ensure trades move accurately from execution to settlement, while contributing to the continuous development of the backoffice setup and, over time, taking an active role in developing the team and its capabilities.

DIVE INTO WHAT YOUR DAY-TO-DAY TASKS WILL BE

You work close to the operational heartbeat of the business, where accurate data, strong processes and timely follow-through are essential. Alongside the daily controlling activities, you help challenge and improve how we work across settlements, reconciliations and post-trade workflows.

Your mission is to:

• Take the lead and hands-on responsibility for trade-related controlling activities across our trading operations
• Ensure accurate trade validation, reconciliation and settlement with a strong focus on data quality
• Drive optimisation initiatives with a focus on automation and smarter workflows
• Use data actively to identify improvements and support operational decisions
• Collaborate closely with Trading, Finance, Risk and IT to improve post-trade processes
• Support month-end activities related to settlements and financial reporting.

JOIN A TEAM OF MINDFUL ACHIEVERS

You’ll join our Finance & Risk Operations team, where controlling, technology and market understanding come together to support both trading and customer activities.

We work hands-on with daily and monthly operations while continuously improving how we automate, streamline and strengthen our processes. You’ll play an leading role in both the operational work and the ongoing improvements around it.

You’ll quickly become part of the operational flow, supported by a team where knowledge sharing, sparring and collaboration are part of how we work every day. We learn from each other through hands-on experience and a shared ambition to keep getting better.

You’ll be part of a diverse team with different backgrounds and levels of experience. The pace is high, expectations are clear, and there’s room to enjoy the time spent at work.

LET’S SWITCH THE FOCUS TO YOU

You thrive in environments where operational precision, structure and continuous improvement go hand in hand. You naturally take ownership, challenge existing ways of working and help create better solutions through data, collaboration and strong operational insight.

We imagine that you bring:

• Five+ years of experience within controlling, back office, trade support or financial operations
• Experience with hands-on professional leadership, specialist responsibility or coordination across operational processes
• Strong analytical and data-driven capabilities, with an interest in optimisation, automation and process improvements
• Strong Excel skills and curiosity for working with systems, data and automation tools
• Experience from the energy sector is beneficial, though not mandatory
• Fluent in Danish and English, both written and spoken

We encourage candidates from all backgrounds and identities to apply, as we believe that a diverse team leads to innovation and success.

WE MIGHT BE BIASED, BUT IT IS QUITE AWESOME HERE

People here care about doing things well and creating a place people genuinely enjoy being part of. We like to hack the everyday, from breakfast and lunch made in-house with organic ingredients to in-house massage, something in the freezer when the day runs late and the occasional “Just Because” surprise. You also get five Switch Days, equal to a seventh holiday week, giving you extra flexibility and room to recharge throughout the year.

Through Mind Club, people come together around everything from padel and Football Shirt Fridays to clay pigeon shooting and Christmas afternoons with your family and Santa. And with Mind Academy, you grow alongside sharp and curious colleagues who challenge ideas, share knowledge and help each other level up. These are just some of the things that makes us special. It’s easier to experience in person.

We’re mindful achievers. It shapes how we work, think and grow together, while recognising that well-being, care and integrity matter just as much as the results we create. This is a place to focus, grow and achieve more.
