Qualifications

We are looking for an experienced, strategic, and dynamic leader with a proven track record in leading a finance function within a high-level business environment.

You excel in clearly communicating strategic and financial plans to both technical and business audiences. With a strong problem-solving mindset, you have the ability to frame complex business issues, design effective solutions, and deliver impactful results.

As a true team player, you are skilled at building strong relationships with stakeholders and fostering an engaging, collaborative work environment. You have a natural continuous learning mindset, with the drive to acquire new skills and lead improvements.

We also see that you have:

  • A University degree, preferably in Business, Engineering, Economics/Finance, or similar knowledge from experience.
  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to lead cross-functional teams as well as proven experience in leading through change, creating high-performing teams, and challenging the status quo.
  • Experience in Agile or product-based organizations, with a focus on outcome-driven steering, funding, cost allocation, and execution tracking.
  • The ability to set clear goals, drive outcomes, and optimize processes to achieve both short-term and long-term success.
  • Strong business-technology alignment, with an understanding of H&M Group's complexity and the role of technology in driving business success.

The right candidate has experience in the Retail & e-commerce business and understands the key drivers of tech transformation costs.
