Ready to bring structure, curiosity and fresh thinking to a Finance team where your impact is visible from day one?
Avantium is a pioneer in the emerging industry of renewable and sustainable chemistry. We seek to take part in the opportunities of the transition towards a circular economy, with the goal of creating value for our stakeholders and society as a whole. Avantium’s mission is to aid the transition to a fossil-free world by developing groundbreaking products on the basis of renewable feedstock instead of fossil resources. Sustainable alternatives for fossil-based chemicals and materials include plastic bottles for drinks, films for food packaging and electronics, fibers for textiles and even material used in toys.
Our Finance department is not a standard Finance department. Avantium is a unique environment: small enough to make a real impact, ambitious enough to be listed, and dynamic enough to make sure no day is the same. We are always moving, building and improving. That means there is room to learn from what is already in place, bring more structure where it adds value, and help us take the next step in how Finance supports the business.
