About this role

Hapag-Lloyd's global liner shipping business is modernizing its financial planning and monthly closing across a large, enterprise platform (>600 users, multiple use cases).

While moving to the cloud, we introduce new controlling concepts and steering hierarchies, and are impacted by the digital transformation of adjacent systems (FIS, S/4HANA, central DWH EDWARD). Your task is to drive the robust, user-centric transformation of our financial planning and result platform making controlling data reliable, interoperable across BI tools, and AI-ready. With your people and process mindset, you lead a diverse team, listen to the Future Controller’s needs and partner with Controlling Systems and Data Analytics and the central IT and Analytics (DIA) functions to make this happen.


Hapag-Lloyd is one of the world’s leading liner shipping companies, connecting businesses and people across more than 600 ports worldwide. With a fleet of over 300 modern container ships and a vessel capacity of 2.5 million TEU, we keep global trade moving reliably every day.
Our global network spans 140 countries, 400 offices, and a growing portfolio of terminal and infrastructure investments. This scale enables us to deliver consistent, high‑quality service across continents and to support our customers in even the most complex supply chains.
When you join us, you become part of more than 18,000 colleagues working across borders, functions, and cultures, to not only to deliver quality for our customers, but to create innovation and opportunities across roles, regions, and perspectives.
We believe that every exploration is a chance to grow, and every port is a place to belong.
