About the Role

Reporting to the Director FP&A, the FP&A Manager will serve as a strategic finance business partner to global business functions while supporting corporate FP&A activities, including financial performance analysis, Board reporting, and investor communications.

This role combines business partnering, financial modeling, SaaS performance analytics, and executive-level storytelling .

The position requires strong analytical capabilities, commercial judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate effectively with senior executives.

- Forecasting excellence: Financial forecasts are reliable, transparent, and supported by well-understood business drivers.
- Continuous improvement: Reporting and planning processes become increasingly automated, scalable, and efficient.

Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who combines the analytical rigor of a strong FP&A professional with the commercial mindset of a strategic business partner.

The ideal candidate is intellectually curious, comfortable challenging assumptions, capable of navigating ambiguity, and skilled at turning data into actionable business insights. They can move seamlessly between detailed financial models and high-level executive presentations, communicating effectively with both operational leaders and senior stakeholders.
