Business Controller - Parental Leave Cover

Mentimeter is an engagement tool with a clear goal in mind. To turn presentations into conversations. Through real-time interactivity and clear visualizations, we get people to participate, engage and become more productive. Transforming all those passive meetings, airless classrooms and drawn out trainings into valuable and memorable moments.

We truly believe that you achieve the best results by doing things together. And that successful leaders need to adopt a curious and collaborative mindset in order to get there. So with you at Mentimeter, you’ll be a big part of the ambition to help over 1 billion people listen, learn and work better together.

As an Interim Business Controller, you will act as a strategic partner to the organization, bridging the gap between financial data and operational action. You will enable Mentimeter to scale by ensuring senior leaders and budget owners have a transparent understanding of their financial performance. By providing high-quality insights and a robust financial framework, you empower decision-makers to prioritize investments effectively and navigate the complexities of a fast-paced global SaaS business with confidence.

You will be an integral part of our creative and driven cross-functional Finance team, reporting directly to our CFO.

What You’ll Do

During this 12-month cover, you will operate as a "Catalyst" for the business, moving beyond reporting into active partnership. Your responsibilities include:

• Financial Partnership: Act as a dedicated advisor to senior leaders, helping them interpret financial results and manage departmental P&Ls.
• Investment Support: Provide data-driven ROI analysis and business case validation to support the prioritization of new initiatives.
• Process Ownership: Drive the evolution of financial processes, including budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting.
• Analysis: Deep-dive into revenues, costs, and SaaS metrics (such as CAC, LTV, and ARR) to identify growth opportunities and risks.
• Reporting: Prepare accurate monthly reports for the board and management that tell "the story behind the numbers".

Who You Are

We believe you are business-oriented, curious, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where you have the autonomy to tackle problems.

Your Background & Skills:

• Experience: 5+ years of experience in business controlling.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree or higher in finance, engineering, or an equivalent field.
• Financial Processes: Proven track-record of driving workflows in key financial processes such as budgeting and financial reporting. 
• Financial Modeling: Proficiency in building sophisticated, automated, and error-proof models in Excel or Google Sheets.
• AI and automation: Experience from improving processes through automation, for instance automating report creation through Claude or other AI tools. 
• SaaS Acumen: A solid understanding of SaaS business mechanics and metrics.
• Communication: Ability to package complex financial concepts into simple, persuasive narratives for non-financial stakeholders.
• Data Interpretation: Skill in extracting meaningful insights from, sometimes, messy or incomplete data to solve open-ended business challenges.
• Language: Professional fluency in English (Swedish is not required).

AI and Hiring at Mentimeter
At Mentimeter, we believe AI helps us work smarter - but it never replaces the human assessment, curiosity, and personal connection that define our culture and our hiring. We use AI as a sparring partner: to bounce ideas, bring new perspectives, support structure, and make our work more efficient. But the meaning, decisions, and interactions always come from people.

• AI does not screen or decide on candidates.
•  There is no automated filtering, ranking, or decision-making in our recruitment process. Every application is reviewed by a person.
• Hiring teams may use AI to support their work - for example, to structure notes, prepare interview questions, or organize their thinking.

AI strengthens our work, but it does not define it. At Mentimeter, we’re not building an AI-driven hiring process - we’re building a people-first culture, where technology helps us listen, learn, and grow together.

Culture at Mentimeter
At Mentimeter we believe in giving everyone a voice - regardless of who you are. So we build a platform that does just that. Our platform is not only our product but also our organization. A platform where people feel safe, where differences are embraced, a place where you can have fun. We strongly encourage applicants who are people of color, LGBTQ+, women, people with disabilities, and/or formerly incarcerated people, and a college degree is not strictly required. In order to give everyone a voice, we need to be as diverse as our users.
