Job description

Do you want to join a fast-growing, technology-driven organization where finance plays a key role in shaping business strategy and driving value creation? As a Finance Business, you will act as the trusted financial co-pilot to Business Line leadership, influencing decisions on growth, investments, profitability, and long-term performance. Join Prodrive Technologies as a Finance Business Partner.

About The Role

At Prodrive Technologies, our Business Lines operate as entrepreneurial businesses with ambitious growth plans, unique market dynamics, and increasing end-to-end responsibility. As we continue to scale, we believe every Business Line requires a strong financial counterpart not focused on reporting the past, but on shaping the future. We see finance as a driver of strategy and value creation not as solely a reporting function.

This role provides direct exposure to Business Line leadership, the Executive Management Team and the strategic decisions that shape the future of the company. For the right candidate, it offers a pathway toward broader finance leadership. Therefore, we are looking for a senior finance professional with strong business acumen, strategic insight and leadership potential to grow further with our organization.

As a Finance Business Partner, you will act as the financial co-pilot to a Business Line Director, helping steer strategy, performance, investments, profitability and growth. You will sit at the intersection of finance, technology, operations and commercial decision-making, translating complex business challenges into actionable insights and clear choices.

This is not a traditional business controlling role. We are looking for someone who wants to help build a strong business, challenge assumptions, and create value.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Business Partnering

• Act as the primary finance partner to Business Line leadership and be a member of the Business Line Management Team that can identify opportunities to improve profitability, cash generation and return on invested capital.
• Co-develop and help execute the business line strategy, investment decisions and growth plans.
• Provide visibility to management on performance through independent, fact-based insights, risks and opportunities.
• Drive data-driven decision making across the business line by establishing clear KPIs and targets.
• Support and constructively challenge strategic, commercial and operational decisions.

Financial Planning & Analysis

• Own budgeting, forecasting and long-range planning processes for the Business Line optimizing accuracy and transparency of assumptions.
• Translate operational developments into financial implications.
• Support investment prioritization and resource allocation decisions.
• Provide context in meaningful management reporting and performance analysis.

Business Growth & Scalability

• Partner with commercial, operations and R&D teams to evaluate growth opportunities.
• Improve understanding of product, customer and market profitability.
• Contribute to the professionalization and evolution of the broader finance function through adoption of analytics, automation and AI-enabled finance tools.

Leadership & Talent Development

• Act as role model for analytical excellence, business acumen and ownership.
• Contribute to the development of the next generation of finance leaders within Prodrive through coaching and development of Business Controllers and/or Business Analysts where applicable.
• Participate in cross-business initiatives and finance transformation programs.

What We Offer

• A performance-based salary that grows with your results
• 33 days of leave per year (including public holidays) to support a healthy work-life balance
• This position is bonus eligible
• Pension plan and travel allowance for on-site working days
• Focus on personal development with a tailored growth plan
• Wide career advancement opportunities across various technical roles and projects
• A young, entrepreneurial, and innovative company culture
• Flexible working hours in a 24/7 environment, with free lunch or dinner on-site
• iPhone, laptop, and other necessary tools to help you perform your work optimally
• Free sports facilities on campus to help you stay healthy and fit.

What You Bring

You combine strong financial expertise with business curiosity and commercial instinct. You are comfortable operating in an entrepreneurial technology environment where growth, innovation and complexity go hand-in-hand.

Most importantly, you enjoy working alongside business leaders, influencing decisions and helping build successful businesses.

• Master's degree in Finance, Economics, Business Administration, Engineering or related field.
• A results-driven strategic thinker with a hands-on mentality
• 10+ years of experience in Finance, FP&A, Business Finance, Strategic Finance, Corporate Finance or Business Controlling. Advanced finance qualifications (RC, RA, CPA, CMA or equivalent) are considered a plus.
• Proven experience partnering with and challenging senior management on strategic and commercial decisions.
• Strong understanding of business economics, value drivers, profitability and capital allocation.
• Experience with budgeting, forecasting, long-range planning and performance management.
