Expert / Head of M&A Finance (m/f/d)

For some years now, METRO has been successfully on its way to transforming itself into a pure and highly specialized wholesaler. In doing so, we permanently adapt the group portfolio via M&A transactions and internal group structuring, placing a strong focus on digitization projects.

In our small, powerful team of specialists, we accompany METRO's transactions with all the tools of business administration from A to Z, across the board. Right from the start and with a view to the most diverse controlling and accounting-related issues, you will make a significant contribution to making our worldwide M&A projects successful. Within the scope of these projects, you will be in a controlling function, will hold the threads of your work streams in your hands and will coordinate closely with the departments involved in the process such as M&A, Accounting, Controlling, Tax, Treasury and Legal as well as the operative units. You will coordinate financial due diligence processes, including the consultants mandated for these processes, as well as the creation of closing accounts. At the same time, you will assess strategic projects regarding their advantages for the relevant steering KPIs of the Group and give recommendations for decisions. To do this, you evaluate the effects of transactions on METRO's key financial figures, create scenario calculations, simulations and models. On the way to the successful conclusion of the transactions, you help to shape accounting relevant chapters in company purchase agreements.
