- Drive FP&A: budgeting, forecasting, scenario planning, actionable insights.
- Lead strategic projects together with the CEO and leadership team.
- Partner with commercial & product teams to model pricing and optimize business models.
- Oversee legal, governance, and investor reporting.
- Build scalable systems & processes that help us grow faster and smarter.
- Lead and develop a lean finance team.
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of experience in fast-growth, high-performance environments (startup, scaleup, tech, consulting, or finance).
- Strong analytical and strategic mindset - but pragmatic and execution-driven.
- Collaborative, low-ego, and ambitious - thrives in ambiguity and loves solving problems.
- Experience working cross-department on needle-moving projects at high pace.
