Are you our new Marketing Sales Unit (MSU) Controller / Head of Finance Nordics?
What can AkzoNobel offer you?
At AkzoNobel you are met by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We work together with a focus on innovation and sustainability, to be the leader in our industry. Diversity enriches our workplaces, and we work actively together with our employees to make them thrive and develop. We work strategically to become a better employer.

We offer you an international working environment where you take on rewarding and challenging tasks that broaden your horizon and develop you in your role. You will work with competent and like-minded colleagues who share your attitude and enthusiasm. Welcome
What will you do?
As MSU Controller / Head of Finance Nordics, you will take on a high-impact role that combines strategic leadership, financial expertise, and commercial acumen. Acting as a key Business Partner to the Decorative Paints leadership team, you will guide decision-making to ensure top-line growth and bottom-line profitability in a dynamic and competitive market. This position carries a strong commercial focus, emphasizing collaboration with sales, marketing, and finance functions to align strategies and achieve business objectives. You will lead the finance agenda for the Nordics, embedding standardized processes, driving transformation projects, and ensuring continuous improvement. With a strong presence in the Nordic region, AkzoNobel operates across diverse channels, including B2B, B2C, wholesalers, small- and large-scale outlets, and company-owned stores.
Reporting directly to the Finance Director Middle Europe North, you will also play a vital role in supporting restructuring and integration efforts while influencing regional and global strategies.
This is a full-time permanent position, and you will be placed at our site just outside Malmö. This role will be offered hybrid working.
Who are you?
You are a results-driven finance professional with a strong strategic mindset and extensive leadership experience. With at least 10 years of experience in Finance and Control due to its complexity, including some years in a commercial finance role, you bring deep expertise in driving business growth and delivering actionable insights.
Your ability to lead cross-functional teams and navigate complex matrix organizations makes you a valuable partner in aligning strategic objectives with operational success. You are skilled in stakeholder management and can influence senior leadership to drive impactful results.
Key attributes we are looking for:
- A proven track record in strategic leadership, with the ability to align business and financial strategies.
- Strong commercial acumen, including expertise in pricing, margin optimization, and business growth.
- Effective communication and stakeholder management skills to collaborate across teams and functions.
- Proficiency in SAP and other ERP systems; certifications like CPA, CMA, or CIMA are advantageous.
- Fluent in English, with proficiency in Swedish, Danish, or Norwegian being an advantage.
This role is not just about finance—it’s about leadership, strategy, and making a difference. If you’re ready to embrace international opportunities, take on high-level responsibilities, and drive meaningful change, we’d love to hear from you

At AkzoNobel we are very committed to ensuring an inclusive and respectful workplace where all employees can be their best selves. We strive to embrace diversity, tolerance and respect. Our recruitment process plays a major role in this journey as it lays the foundation for a diverse work environment. In our organization, all qualified applicants are treated from an equal perspective regardless of ethnic origin, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age or disability.
