Description

As Lead FP&A & Controlling, you own the strategic financial steering of osapiens and help shape the company’s next growth phase toward long-term scale and transaction readiness.

Over the past years, we have built a strong and scalable foundation across international structures, ERP systems, reporting, forecasting, and Board-grade processes. Together with an already highly capable organization, many key building blocks for scalable FP&A & Controlling are already firmly in place. The next step is further evolving and scaling these foundations into a truly best-in‑class Strategic Finance function with stronger business partnering, AI-supported finance processes, and an even more integrated management steering framework.

Reporting directly to the CFO, you act as the central finance sparring partner for the C-Level and VP organization across Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and RevOps around financial planning, forecasting, performance steering, and strategic decision‑making. You help translate our growth ambition into a scalable financial operating model and management framework. This is a highly hands‑on builder and execution role. At the same time, you lead and further develop our FP&A and Controlling team of 3 people, actively drive execution, and push cross‑functional finance initiatives forward.

Through AI adoption, automation, and modern finance tooling, you help position Finance, especially FP&A & Controlling, as one of the most forward‑thinking functions within the company.

As a leading one‑platform software company for sustainable growth, we shape the future of transparency, compliance, and operational excellence together. Join our fast‑growing international scale‑up and help shape the next evolution of FP&A & Controlling at osapiens.

Your Responsibilities

Strategic Finance & Steering

• Further develop the FP&A & Controlling roadmap, including Board-grade planning, KPI steering, management reporting, and strategic initiatives across forecasting, AI adoption, growth investments, profitability, international scaling, and transaction readiness.

FP&A, Budgeting & Forecasting

• Own and further develop the annual budgeting, Long-Range Planning (LRP), and monthly forecasting processes, including the integrated osapiens planning model across P&L, cash flow, ARR, headcount, and market assumptions. Drive the FP&A operating rhythm through stakeholder reviews, forecasting discussions, and month‑end analyses while continuously improving forecast accuracy, scenario modelling, planning transparency, and Board‑grade decision support.

Board Reporting & Management Steering

• Own and further develop the Monthly Trading Update, Board reporting, financing and transaction materials, as well as the overall management steering framework and business review cadence across weekly, monthly, and quarterly cycles.

GTM Finance & RevOps Partnership

• Build a best‑in‑class integration between Finance, GTM, and RevOps by acting as strategic finance sparring partner and challenger around planning, forecasting, pipeline steering, sales capacity planning, quota design, pricing initiatives, and GTM efficiency. Help ensure that budgets & strategic plans are operationally executed, KPIs are transparently monitored, and commercial performance trends are identified early to proactively steer toward company targets.

Cost Steering & Operational Excellence

• Build best‑in‑class cost steering and transparency across all functions and entities, including headcount, vendor spend, and operational investments, while partnering closely with budget owners to improve accountability, investment efficiency, and scalable financial decision‑making.

AI, Automation & Innovation

• Drive AI adoption, automation, and modern FP&A & Controlling tooling across forecasting, reporting, analytics to further position Finance as one of the company’s most innovative and forward‑thinking functions.
