We are looking for a Manager FP&A who can independently own end-to-end FP&A projects, drive automation of recurring MIS and reporting workflows, and proactively identify opportunities for process and analytical improvement. This role requires a strong blend of technical rigor (financial modeling, data automation) and business acumen (translating numbers into decisions), and is expected to operate with high ownership and minimal supervision.

• Proactively propose and initiate new analytical projects that improve decision-making speed or quality for leadership.
• Partner with business and cross-functional teams (Accounts, Business Ops, Product etc) to gather inputs, validate assumptions, and ensure data integrity.
• Build and maintain financial models (P&L, cash flow, unit economics) to support strategic and operational decisions.
• Prepare leadership-ready reporting packs and presentations with clear insights, not just data.
• Track key business and financial KPIs; flag risks and deviations early with actionable recommendations.
• Support ad-hoc strategic analysis, business cases, and investment evaluations as required.

Required Skills & Competencies

• Technical Acumen: Advanced Excel (financial modeling, macros/automation), strong working knowledge of BI/reporting tools (Power BI / Tableau etc); ability to design and automate recurring reports.
• Business Acumen: Ability to connect financial data to business drivers and translate analysis into clear, actionable recommendations for leadership.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with high attention to detail balanced against the ability to prioritize and move fast.
• Proactive, self-starter mindset - able to identify gaps and initiate projects without being directed.
• Strong communication skills - able to present complex financial information clearly to senior stakeholders.
• Ability to manage multiple projects concurrently and work under tight timelines.
