Jobbeschreibung

We’re the world’s leading sports technology company, at the intersection between sports, media, and betting. More than 1,700 sports federations, media outlets, betting operators, and consumer platforms across 120 countries rely on our know-how and technology to boost their business.

Job Description

About Us: We are looking for a technically‑minded finance professional to join our Corporate FP&A team. Your mission is to build the digital infrastructure that automates the month‑end reporting cycle, consolidates our financial logic, and eliminates manual data processing. You will act as a link between our high‑speed commercial growth and our financial accuracy requirements. You’ll start by developing a deep understanding of our existing processes and reporting rhythms, with the goal of streamlining and automating those processes.

The Challenge:

Process engineering & automation

• Identify and streamline repetitive manual activities across the month‑end cycle, including accruals, revenue‑share calculations, cost reconciliations, and reporting processes.
• Use tools like Power Automate, Python, Power BI, or Abacum to automate data flows between our ERP, Jira, and our reporting layers.
• Support improvement of the approval and control processes by embedding financial logic and governance directly into systems and workflows to enforce budgetary compliance.
• Improve the consolidated month‑end cycle by building diagnostic tools that flag variances in real‑time, rather than after the books are finalized.
• Help build automated audit agents that cross‑reference contract data with actual spend to identify leakages or accrual risks.

Month‑End Close

Support and manage month‑end close activities across operating expenditure, including the preparation and review of invoices, accruals, and related system entries in line with agreed timelines and control standards, with the need of further automating these activities over time.

Technical control & audit readiness

• Serve as the primary technical contact for external auditors and the Global Controller, translating our complex commercial models into audited financial actuals.
• Define and enforce data contracts between Accounting and FP&A to ensure that actuals arrive clean, mapped, and ready for analysis.
• Support and strengthen SOX controls and audit processes by improving the reliability, traceability, and consistency of financial data and reporting workflows.

About You

• Proficiency in SQL (Redshift/BigQuery) or a proven ability to learn technical data structures quickly is required. You must be able to pull and join your own data, build your own visualizations in Power BI without a ticket.
• Automation mindset: Experience with (or strong desire, proven ability to learn) n8n, Python, or other workflow automation tools.
• System savvy: Experience with modern FP&A platforms (Abacum, Pigment, or Anaplan) and ERP environments.
• Advanced Excel: Still required, but primarily for prototyping logic before moving it into an automated system.
• 1–3 years of experience in Financial Control, FP&A, or Finance Operations.
• Background in a high‑growth tech, sports data/betting environment is a significant plus. Business/Finance/Other appropriate degree. Masters not necessary.
• A systems‑thinking approach: You see the company as a series of connected data flows rather than a collection of separate spreadsheets.
• Ownership mentality: You take pride in permanently retiring manual processes.
