Introduction

We are looking for a Manager, Business Analysis to join our Processing as a Service team, to build the understanding and support the economics of one of Metso’s newest business models.

Processing as a Service is built around a simple but demanding idea: Metso provides ore-processing capacity to mining customers through a contractual, service-based model. Metso installs the equipment on the customer’s site, operates and maintains it, and keeps the assets on its own fleet. That creates a very different finance and business challenge. Pricing, capital efficiency, risk exposure, contract performance, asset lifecycle decisions, and portfolio economics all need to be understood together. This role exists to build that understanding and support improving the business performance. 

In this role, you will create the financial logic, reporting structure, KPIs, risk frameworks, and asset lifecycle models that allow the business to scale. In practice, you become the person who can explain where value is created, where the risks sit, and what decisions should be made next. 

Location: Metso has operations in 51 countries, so there is flexibility with the location. Locations within European or nearby time zones (UTC+2 ±2h) would be ideal for collaboration and meeting overlap. 

The team you belong to

You join the Processing as a Service team inside Professional Services Business Line, reporting to the Head of Processing as a Service. 

Day-to-day you work across the organization: Lifecycle Agreements teams, Market Areas, Group Finance, Treasury, and the business lines across Minerals, Services, and Consumables. Because the assets stay on Metso’s balance sheet, the model has direct implications for capital allocation, risk, and portfolio performance. This means your analysis will be visible to senior finance and business stakeholders, including Business Areas Presidents, CFO, Group Finance and Treasury. The team is small by design, with the ambition to grow as the business scales. 

What you do 

• Structure the shadow P&L, balance sheet logic, risk framework, and reporting structure for the business (basic, preliminary versions are in place)
• Define the KPIs that matter for an asset-based, as-a-service portfolio and propose how they should be tracked
• Build the framework and operating plan for a growing global fleet: when to refurbish, redeploy, resell, or retire each asset
• Develop a clear view of how the economics of contracts and the portfolio behave, including the key drivers, variables, and business implications.
  
  

Once the foundations are in place, your core work will be to: 

• Own P&L and balance sheet tracking, reporting, and performance analysis
• Monitor portfolio economics across regions, isolate the key variables and drivers, and benchmark KPIs and commercial-model performance
• Develop pricing analytics, value-quantification frameworks, and benchmarking methodologies that tie together cost, value, and risk
• Define financial risk frameworks and mitigation strategies for a portfolio where growth also increases exposure
• Build asset lifecycle models and support decisions on the global deployed fleet.
  
  

Who you are

You are not a pure controller, and you are not only a reporting person. You can build strong financial models, and your value is in connecting the numbers to business decisions, commercial performance, risk, and asset use. You understand how contract structure, capital efficiency, lifecycle decisions, and pricing all affect profitability over time. 

You may come from mining, industrial equipment, fleet management, lifecycle services, leasing, asset finance, consulting, or another asset-heavy business where financial modelling, contract economics, and commercial decision-making meet. 

What's required:

• Deep financial modelling expertise; you build the models others rely on, not just read them
• Hands-on experience with asset-based business models and long-term contracts, ideally in a capital- or service-intensive industry
• A real blend of finance and commercial instinct: you use the analysis to drive profitability, not only to describe it. 
  
  

What's preferred: 

•  Working knowledge of investment evaluation (e.g. ROCE, IRR, NPV), pricing, and risk management
• Risk-management experience; the role needs the lens, not necessarily years of it
• Exposure to leasing or other asset financing structures
• Strong cross-functional stakeholder management, or the appetite to build it fast in your first months
• A formal finance degree is a plus, not a prerequisite. What matters is that you can build the models and stand behind them 
  
  

What's in it for you

The team is small, the business model is new, and many of the foundations still need to be built. At the same time, this is not an isolated experiment. Processing as a Service has senior leadership backing, live commercial traction, and a clear place in Metso’s strategic growth agenda.  

You will have real room to shape the frameworks, tools, KPIs, and ways of working from the beginning. The Head of Processing as a Service will set the direction, but this role needs someone who can bring their own thinking, challenge assumptions, and turn an early-stage business model into something measurable, manageable, and scalable. 

The scope is global from day one, with live contracts and opportunities across several markets. The practical setup is flexible: remote work is possible, relocation is not required, and travel is expected to stay limited. You get the challenge of building something new, with the backing and stability of Metso behind it.
