Global Financial Controller

Here at Biz Away, we Deliver the Future of Travel.

Biz Away is a tech-enabled B2B travel management scale-up on a mission to revolutionize a $1 trillion market. We provide a user-friendly, all-in-one platform that allows businesses to access over 1 million hotels, 900 airlines, and global rail/car rental carriers through a single, cloud-based interface. By simplifying complex travel user experiences into fast, manageable tasks, we help companies gain better visibility and control over costs.

Founded in 2015, we are now dual headquartered in Milan and Barcelona with a multicultural team of 450+ professionals. Backed by a €35 million investment from Mayfair Equity Partners, we are accelerating our growth across existing markets and expanding globally. If you thrive on challenges and want to be a "revolutionary force" in a fast-paced scale-up, Biz Away is where you belong.

We are looking for a driven, highly analytical, and future-focused Global Financial Controller (m/w/d) to lead our global controlling function from our Barcelona office. Reporting directly to the CFO, you will transcend traditional financial reporting to become a key commercial architect of our international growth, managing a team of approximately 10 people.

As we scale up, understanding our exact levels of profitability is crucial, as is managing the complexity of a fast-growing multinational company with expected revenues exceeding €200 million in 2026. You will be responsible for moving beyond the numbers to provide deep business intelligence, analyzing customer-level profitability, fine-tuning pricing models, and dissecting our performance country-by-country. Backed by Private Equity stakeholders, you will lead the integration of AI tools and financial automation to turn our financial workflow into a highly optimized, scalable global engine.
