Group Controller

Myne is the first digital recycling company in the world to produce high-quality, circular metals using AI and robotics. They are revolutionizing their industry and are now preparing for rapid expansion. The Group Controller will guide Myne’s significant growth strategy through financial management and data-driven insights.

About Myne

Metals are a crucial part of our everyday life. We rely on them for satellite communications, food processing, construction, car manufacturing, and much more. However, we are also exhausting the earth’s supply and harming the planet with their extraction methods.

In good news, Myne — a Dutch-based company —  has discovered an innovative and sustainable solution to this problem. By collaborating with TU Delft, Myne has developed the Xorter. This revolutionary machine uses AI technology and robotics to separate metals. Traditionally, recycling means downcycling high-grade resources into low-grade products. But thanks to its state-of-the-art technology, Myne is transforming today’s products into the circular metals of tomorrow.

The Xorter converts mixed metal waste streams into resources of the same high quality as primary metals. The company’s trailblazing products are completely circular aluminum alloys that Myne delivers on demand, on scope, and at the lowest cost. The digitized process also offers considerable benefits for production control and transparency, which is vital in today’s increasingly stringent climate regulations.

“We stand for a better way to mine. We envision a world where metals are no longer extracted from the planet, but are infinitely recycled, creating fully circular metal waste streams with significantly less energy usage, carbon emissions, and pollution.” – Martijn van de Poll, co-CEO of Myne

Aluminum alloys are just the start of Myne’s metals upcycling vision. In the next few years, they will build sorting installations that produce high-quality, circular copper, brass, and steel. But first, they will perfect their technology and scale-up by 2025, both in The Netherlands and around the world. To prepare for their successful growth strategy, Myne is already strengthening its organization and growing a dedicated team who will bring its vision for a sustainable metals future to life.

Vacancy: Group Controller

Myne is located in Harderwijk, The Netherlands, has seventy-five employees, and achieves an annual turnover of approximately four hundred million euros. They expect to achieve tremendous growth in the near future. It will be up to the Group Controller and their Finance Team to prepare and guide the organization through this rapid expansion phase. The Group Controller will report to the CFO.

“The Group Controller will join us in guiding Myne through our radical transition. There is plenty to professionalize, but all from a strong and reliable base. With the rapid growth we are expecting, the Group Controller will have the opportunity to accelerate their professional development and shape their role.” – Anco Vos, CCO/CFO of Myne

Some responsibilities of the Group Controller revolve around core controlling activities, where many processes are already automated. They will lead financial processes, such as planning and control, financial administration, budgeting, and forecasting. In addition, they will prepare annual financial statements and develop reports and dashboards that enable the Management Team to make well-informed, highly-qualified decisions. They will also be the main point of contact for the external auditor. Leading a team will be part of their future responsibilities.

The Group Controller will work closely with the business to provide them with strategic, data-driven insights. They will use the data to identify patterns, trends, and potential risks and proactively share their recommendations with the business and the CFO. In these interactions, the Group Controller will be a solid discussion partner who combines financial experience with strong business intuition. They will also be involved in strategic improvement projects, such as implementing a new ERP system.

The metals industry is a complicated business. As a commodity product, the margins are slim, with added complexity factors such as transportation, hedging, detailed specifications, and long-term contracts. The Group Controller will understand these dynamics and translate them into the right financial processes and insights. The entrepreneurial spirit of rapidly growing an organization and contributing to a paradigm shift in an established international industry make this role an exciting opportunity for any financial professional. But above all it is a position where you create your own responsibilities and grow within the organization.
