What we plan together:

Are you interested in designing the control concept of REWE Group, setting standards for key figures, structures and processes and also thinking one step further? The Controlling Division Standards & Steering Instruments is part of the Group Controlling and deals with the development of Group-wide standards to connect objectives, planning, control and adaptation to an integrated management approach. At this strategic point, you will significantly shape the organisation’s future functioning and make the strategic and operational achievement measurable and comparable. In doing so, you advise our internal customers around the world, train cross-group expert groups and harmonise their business activities and model the Steering Instruments required for this. For this purpose, technical and technical knowledge is required, coupled with innovative ideas.

You create transparency about corporate performance and achievement: You advise internal stakeholders in control requirements to ensure that the management-relevant individual initiatives match the corporate objectives and strategies. You follow the standardization to ensure a clear and comparable and efficient reporting and are always a proactive, positive and solution-oriented internal consultant. You are promoting a fast response to changes in the market or environment: you identify best practices, respond to changes in the market and suggest optimizations arising from the exchange of existing concepts in the group or the current specialist literature/regulatorics to maximize the value of standards for REWE Group. You motivate employees by giving orientation options: you train the interface between controlling units, various specialist departments in the company, IT and management and thus actively contribute to the development of efficient and cross-border standards that provide orientation and facilitation in corporate management. You work with the most modern tools: You use leading systems such as SAP BCS/4HANA, SAP S/4HANA FPS, SAP Analysis for Microsoft Office, IBM Planning Analytics (TM1), Strategy (until Aug. 11, 2025 MicroStrategy), Confluence, Jira and others to analyse and improve the existing data and process base for standards.
