Are you looking to be part of an international organization where you and your skills can still make a difference? We are currently recruiting for an ambitious and highly energized Financial Planning Analyst EMEA to join world’s leading talent development and transition company Lee Hecht Harrison (LHH).

If you have exceptional analytical skills, attention to detail and like to dive into Excel this might be the perfect job for you!

In this role you will be challenged to show your interpersonal and communication skills.

You will need to get information from several counterparts within EMEA, adopt your communication style to different cultures, consolidate the information and create presentations where you need to communicate ‘key data’ effectively.

We are looking for a candidate that will defy the status quo, be a counterpart to the CFO EMEA and can work independently, coupled with a genuine enthusiasm for achieving operational excellence within the organization, without losing their creative and commercial attitude.
