As an Interim Business Controller, you will act as a strategic partner to the organization, bridging the gap between financial data and operational action. You will enable Mentimeter to scale by ensuring senior leaders and budget owners have a transparent understanding of their financial performance. By providing high-quality insights and a robust financial framework, you empower decision-makers to prioritize investments effectively and navigate the complexities of a fast-paced global SaaS business with confidence.

You will be an integral part of our creative and driven cross-functional Finance team, reporting directly to our CFO.

What You’ll Do

During this 12-month cover, you will operate as a "Catalyst" for the business, moving beyond reporting into active partnership. Your responsibilities include:

• Financial Partnership: Act as a dedicated advisor to senior leaders, helping them interpret financial results and manage departmental P&Ls.
• Investment Support: Provide data-driven ROI analysis and business case validation to support the prioritization of new initiatives.
• Process Ownership: Drive the evolution of financial processes, including budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting.
• Analysis: Deep-dive into revenues, costs, and SaaS metrics (such as CAC, LTV, and ARR) to identify growth opportunities and risks.
• Reporting: Prepare accurate monthly reports for the board and management that tell "the story behind the numbers".

Who You Are

We believe you are business-oriented, curious, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where you have the autonomy to tackle problems.

Your Background & Skills:

• Experience: 5+ years of experience in business controlling.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree or higher in finance, engineering, or an equivalent field.
• Financial Processes: Proven track-record of driving workflows in key financial processes such as budgeting and financial reporting. 
• Financial Modeling: Proficiency in building sophisticated, automated, and error-proof models in Excel or Google Sheets.
• AI and automation: Experience from improving processes through automation, for instance automating report creation through Claude or other AI tools. 
• SaaS Acumen: A solid understanding of SaaS business mechanics and metrics.
• Communication: Ability to package complex financial concepts into simple, persuasive narratives for non-financial stakeholders.
• Data Interpretation: Skill in extracting meaningful insights from, sometimes, messy or incomplete data to solve open-ended business challenges.
• Language: Professional fluency in English (Swedish is not required).

Mentimeter’s vision is to transform presentations into engaging, interactive experiences where every voice is heard. As we scale globally, we’re strengthening how we build compliant, user-centric products, and this role is central to that.

We’re looking for a Legal Counsel focused on privacy and compliance who can turn complex regulation into practical, scalable solutions that enable the business to move fast, safely.

What you’ll do

You’ll operate at the intersection of product, commercial, and compliance, acting as a trusted partner across the organisation.

• Act as the go-to legal partner for teams across product, marketing, sales, data, and security, embedding “privacy by design” in how we build and operate
• Structure, draft, and negotiate data protection and commercial terms in sales and vendor agreements
• Partner closely with the product team to embed privacy and compliance into the product development lifecycle, ensuring new features and data uses are designed and launched in line with applicable regulations
• Design and maintain scalable policies, templates, and internal frameworks that enable consistent, high-quality decision-making
• Drive compliance initiatives and improve internal processes, with a focus on usability and adoption rather than bureaucracy
• Support sales in enterprise discussions, helping reduce friction in privacy negotiations while managing risk pragmatically
• Lead vendor-related legal work, including onboarding, risk assessments, and ongoing governance
• Translate evolving global privacy requirements into actionable guidance for product, marketing, and operations
• Work with internal risk management to identify, assess, and mitigate legal and operational risks, and ensure structured escalation and follow-up of non-standard or high-risk scenarios
• Educate teams and raise overall compliance literacy across the company
• Review and ensure maintenance of the company’s privacy policies and related governance frameworks

Who you are

• Law degree (jur.kand or equivalent) with ~2-3 years’ experience from a law firm or as an in-house counsel
• Solid hands-on experience in data privacy and information security
• Excellent communication skills and strong stakeholder management ability
• Comfortable working cross-functionally and close to the business
• Strong in contract drafting and negotiation, especially in commercial contexts
• Able to balance legal risk with product and business realities
• Proactive, structured, and comfortable driving your own initiatives
• Excellent proficiency in English, both written and oral communication

Bonus

• Experience in SaaS, cloud, or product-led companies
• Understanding of technical concepts like cloud infrastructure, data flows, or AI
• Experience building scalable compliance frameworks, not just advising on them
