Job description

mobile.de is Germany’s largest vehicle marketplace, with more than 1.6 million listed cars. Both private customers and registered vehicle dealers use the platform. Founded in 1996, the company is a subsidiary of Adevinta, a global leader in online classified portals. Based in Berlin-Charlottenburg, we offer a dynamic environment where growth, learning, and collaboration come together.

About the role

Are you equally at home building financial infrastructure and acting as a trusted strategic partner to business leadership? Do you thrive in environments where you need to be both the architect and the co-pilot? We’re seeking an experienced Senior Financial Planning & Analysis Generalist (d/f/m) to take end-to-end finance ownership. This is a unique, standalone role: you will be the dedicated Finance function for a separate business entity. In this high-impact role, you will build the financial infrastructure of the subsidiary from the ground up, while simultaneously acting as the strategic finance partner to its leadership team. You’ll operate with a high degree of autonomy, connecting the subsidiary’s financial reality to mobile.de’s broader reporting and governance standards.

Job requirements

• 8–10+ years of relevant FP&A / finance experience, with a proven track record that spans both hands‑on process ownership and senior stakeholder partnering in complex environments.
• Proven ability to wear multiple hats: you're equally comfortable designing financial processes from scratch and walking a business leader through scenario trade‑offs.
• Deep expertise in financial process design and financial statement reporting (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow), combined with strong business case development and scenario modeling skills.
• Excellent communication and influencing skills — you can operate with "high challenge & high support" and build trusted partnerships with senior leaders while also executing independently.
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity and autonomy in a build‑phase environment — you can structure, prioritize, and deliver without a fully established framework around you.
• Experience with financial systems (SAP for HANA), BI tools (Looker, Tableau, etc.), and advanced Excel / Google Sheets.
• Team player with a collaborative mindset — effective across business stakeholders, Central FP&A, Accounting, and senior leadership.
• Bachelor’s degree in Economics, Business Administration, Finance, or a related field.
• Fluent in spoken and written English; German is a plus.

Job responsibilities

What you’ll do

Finance Business Partnering

• Be the strategic finance partner for the subsidiary's leadership: bring financial insight, influence key decisions, and ensure full understanding of financial implications — beyond descriptive P&L reporting.
• Drive performance management & business steering: own the forecasting cadence for the subsidiary, proactively identify risks and opportunities, and co-create steering measures with the business.
• Explain value drivers and enable action: translate month‑end variances into the "why" behind performance and recommend concrete actions to close gaps or accelerate growth.
• Build scenarios and evaluate initiatives: develop scenario models and business cases for commercial initiatives — grounded in assumptions, sensitivities, and ROI thinking.
• Align narrative and ensure consistency: ensure the subsidiary's financial story is consistent and decision‑ready for management discussions, aligning drivers, actions, and outlook.

Core FP&A & Financial Infrastructure

• Build and own core financial processes: design, implement, and continuously improve robust processes for month‑end close, budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting for the subsidiary.
• Consolidate and report: deliver management summaries and ensure the subsidiary's financial results are accurately consolidated and reported into mobile.de's central reporting framework.
• Own overhead and headcount planning: take full responsibility for planning, forecasting, and analysis of overhead costs and headcount for the subsidiary, ensuring alignment with business objectives.
• Process improvement and automation: identify opportunities to streamline and enhance financial processes and tools, setting the subsidiary up with a scalable finance foundation.
• Bridge to Central FP&A: serve as the primary interface between the subsidiary and mobile.de's Central FP&A team — feeding operational realities into group forecasts, ensuring consistency of standards, and leveraging central tools and frameworks where applicable.
