IT Controller

At Blue Water Shipping, IT is more than technology. It is how we enable the business to operate efficiently, manage costs, and keep things running smoothly. 

As our IT organization grows in size and in complexity, we need stronger support around invoices, vendors, and everyday administrative tasks. Not glamorous work, but absolutely essential work. 

That is why we are looking for an IT Controller to support Global IT with invoice handling, basic cost control, and ad-hoc administrative tasks. 
This role is well suited for someone early in their career who wants to build experience at the intersection of IT, finance, and operations. 

About the role 

As an IT Controller, you will support the IT organization with day-to-day financial and administrative tasks. You will work closely with more senior colleagues in IT and Finance and gradually take responsibility for recurring tasks such as invoice validation, vendor follow-up, and maintaining overviews. 

This role is for someone who is structured, curious, and comfortable working with details, and who wants to learn how IT cost management works in a large, international organization.
