Will this be one of your assignments?

Performance dashboard

After a thorough analysis, you will set up a dashboard at KLM Cityhopper so that they can see the performance of the new type of aircraft purchased. For this, you analyse the agreements around commissioning and the aircraft's actual performance. You compare the actual performance with the standard KLM has in mind and make clear the financial impact of any deviations.

Working together with VP Finance

You are directly linked to the VP Finance in one of the businesses. You will participate fully in the MT, support the regular finance processes and pick up projects from his/her portfolio. By participating at this level and at the same time being responsible for a number of concrete projects, this assignment will give you a good idea of the scope and impact of Finance within KLM.
