This is an exceptional opportunity for someone with a proven background in impactful and strategic FP&A who loves solving complex problems, building from scratch, providing actionable insights through data and working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Owning the budgeting, forecasting, and long-term planning processes across the group, ensuring robust financial insights aligned with strategic objectives
• Delivering high-quality management information and KPIs to the CFO, Exec Team and board, providing deep insights into performance, variance and trends to support strategic decision making
• Working closely with the CFO and Exec team on future M&A and fundraising processes, through developing comprehensive financial models and due diligence analysis.
• Acting as a trusted business partner to senior stakeholders across the business, working especially closely with sales, marketing, people and operations to deliver strategic objectives
• Supporting on high impact projects across areas such as rev ops, pricing, departmental budget ownership and product level financial reporting
• Building and developing a small, high-performing FP&A team with a culture of curiosity, speed, and precision
• Embracing data, AI and automation to build an FP&A function fit for scale

About you:

• A strong track record in commercial and strategic FP&A leadership, ideally within B2B SaaS or Tech
• Experience with PE/VC backed companies, with a deep understanding of operational KPIs and investor reporting
• An expert in financial modelling with the ability to build complex and scalable financial models from scratch (you will have built models for funding rounds and supported on due diligence analysis)
• Strong data analysis skills with experience of using SQL to query databases and datasets
• A commercial mind, with a demonstrable ability to identify and focus on the most commercially meaningful and insightful data
• A storyteller who can extract key insights from complex data sets and communicate these insights in a concise, simple and engaging way to a wide range of stakeholders
• Strategic mindset with a hands-on, can-do attitude, able to dive into the details while keeping an eye on the bigger picture
