About the Role

Are you a numbers-driven professional with a passion for the fast-paced world of premium beverages? Our company, a leading importer and distributor of fine wines and spirits (Cava) in Cyprus, is looking for a Cost Controller to join our Limassol team.

Key Responsibilities

• Margin Protection: Work closely with the Sales and Purchasing teams to maintain healthy gross margins across different client tiers (Wholesale, HoReCa, and Retail).
• Inventory Governance: Oversee stock levels and movements within our Limassol warehouse. Identify and mitigate "Dead Stock" or shrinkage risks.
• Pricing & Rebates: Maintain the master price list and track supplier volume rebates to ensure all financial incentives are captured.
• Logistics Analysis: Evaluate delivery route efficiency and third-party transport costs to optimize the "last-mile" delivery to our clients.
• Financial Reporting: Provide monthly variance reports (Actual vs. Budget) to the Management team, highlighting areas for cost-saving.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Education: Degree in Accounting, Finance, Supply Chain, or a related field.
• Experience: 2–4 years of experience in a similar role, ideally within FMCG, Hospitality, or Logistics.
• Technical Skills: * Advanced Excel: Must be comfortable with VLOOKUPs, Pivot Tables, and financial modeling.
  • ERP Experience: Familiarity with systems like SAP, Navision, or Cycom is a major plus.
  • Knowledge of Incoterms and local Cyprus customs/excise regulations.
• Languages: * Fluent in English and Greek (written and verbal).
  • Russian language is strongly preferred due to our international client base and stakeholder profile.

The Ideal Candidate

• Has a "forensic" eye for detail—you spot a 1% discrepancy before it becomes a problem.
• Thrives in a multicultural business environment.
• Can translate complex data into clear, actionable advice for the Sales team.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary package based on experience and qualifications.
• Opportunity to work with world-renowned beverage brands.
