Assistant Controller

RIFT is developing and building Iron Fuel Technology, a circular and clean energy solution for heat-intensive industries. We are a fast-paced and dynamic team dealing with complex financial matters. In this role, you bring accuracy and structure, take ownership, and move along with an organisation that is still evolving. And the same goes for this role itself, as it offers plenty of room to grow into a key player within Finance.

Your role: building the financial foundation

As Assistant Controller, you work at the heart of RIFT’s financial operations. You make sure numbers are accurate, structures are solid and processes keep running; even when a lot is happening at once. You think along about how things can be done better and take ownership of your own areas. You will start as a strong all-round support and gradually take on more responsibility. Your work lays the foundation for reliable reporting, well-informed decisions and healthy growth.

What you’ll do

• Ensure that financial figures are reliable, complete and delivered on time so that RIFT can make well-founded decisions

• Contribute to monthly, quarterly and annual reports: closings, forecasts, budgets, analyses and advice

• Structure and improve financial systems and processes, including data flows, control mechanisms and automation

• Help build internal control and compliance, keeping risks manageable and ensuring we meet legal and regulatory standards

• Spot issues and propose improvements, working closely with colleagues inside and outside Finance

What you bring

• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in finance, control or accounting, and at least 2 years of relevant experience

• A structured and accurate way of working, with the ability to keep oversight in a complex environment

• A proactive mindset: you ask questions, figure things out and think about how things can be improved

• Independence and ownership, combined with a collaborative attitude

• Solid Excel skills and affinity with financial tools and data

• Professional fluency in Dutch and English

What we offer

• The chance to help build the financial foundation of a fast-growing company

• Ownership and room to grow

• A dynamic and ambitious team, based at the TU/e campus in the heart of Eindhoven

• Flexible working hours, good secondary benefits and space for personal development

• A competitive salary based on your experience and impact

• 25 vacation days, with the option to purchase more

• A pension scheme that supports your future

• A culture built on trust, ownership and impact

• And we believe it’s important that you share in our successes. With our SAR scheme, the bigger your impact, the more you benefit.
