Embrace Is Hiring: FP&A Manager Position Now Open

The Opportunity

Embrace is entering an exciting new phase of growth. As our international customer base expands and our subscription business continues to scale, finance is becoming an increasingly strategic function.

Reporting directly to the CEO, you will play a key role in shaping how decisions are made across the business. This is not a traditional FP&A role. You will become the company's financial business partner, working alongside the CEO and Leadership Team to transform data into insights that drive better decisions and sustainable growth.

Working with teams, customers and partners across Europe and North America, you will build the financial discipline, visibility and forecasting capabilities that enable Embrace to scale with confidence, while supporting key people and operational processes that contribute to the smooth running of the business.

Your Mission

As Embrace's financial business partner, you will lead financial planning, forecasting, performance analysis and management reporting, helping the Leadership Team make informed, data-driven decisions.

You will build the financial visibility, processes and business intelligence required to support the company's continued international growth while overseeing key administrative and people operations, including payroll, compensation, benefits and recruitment support.

Working closely with Sales, Operations, Product and external advisors, you will continuously improve our financial processes, business systems and reporting capabilities, ensuring Embrace is equipped to scale efficiently and confidently.

This role offers a unique opportunity to work directly with the CEO of a growing international technology company, where decisions are made quickly, initiative is encouraged, and your work will directly influence the company's strategy and long-term growth.

• Monitor cash flow, profitability and financial performance to support sustainable growth

Finance Operations & Business Systems

• Coordinate with external accountants, auditors, payroll providers and tax advisors
• Ensure accurate financial reporting and compliance with statutory obligations
• Continuously improve finance processes, reporting automation and business intelligence across the company
• Drive data quality and consistency across our CRM, finance and reporting platforms, leveraging Zoho One and related business systems
• Prepare Board, shareholder and executive reporting
• Support fundraising, financing or M&A initiatives when applicable

Business Operations & People

• Oversee payroll administration, employee benefits and compensation processes
• Support recruitment, onboarding and other people operations in partnership with managers and external advisors
• Contribute to workforce planning and organisational development as the company grows
• Help improve operational processes, policies and tools that support an efficient, high-performing organisation
• Strong analytical thinking with the ability to translate financial data into clear business insights
• Commercial awareness and genuine curiosity about how the business operates
• Excellent communication skills, with the confidence to engage and challenge senior stakeholders constructively
• High attention to detail combined with the ability to see the bigger strategic picture
• Strong sense of ownership, accountability and integrity
• Comfortable operating independently in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment

Qualifications
