Jobbeschreibung

This is a high-impact role focused on the decisions that shape the organization’s medium- to long-term direction. Working closely with senior leadership, the successful candidate will provide the financial insight, market perspective and analytical rigour needed to evaluate strategic choices, allocate capital effectively and understand the long‑term economics of the business.

The role is distinctly forward-looking, combining strategic forecasting, scenario modelling, market intelligence, unit economics and investment evaluation to help leadership make better decisions under uncertainty.

The incoming leader will be responsible for developing a rigorous financial perspective on the organization’s strategic priorities and investment choices.

Key priorities will include:

• Strategic forecasting: Own and continuously refine the organisation’s medium‑term financial outlook, including a rolling three‑year forecast that connects near‑term financial planning with longer‑term strategic assumptions.
• Scenario analysis: Develop scenarios and sensitivity analyses around key business, financial and market variables to illuminate trade‑offs, risks and potential outcomes.
• Unit economics: Build a clear understanding of the economic drivers of the business, including revenue, cost‑to‑serve, margins, customer economics and other relevant value drivers.
• Cohort and business performance analysis: Apply cohort, segment and driver‑based analysis to identify underlying performance trends and distinguish structural changes from short‑term movements.
• Capital allocation: Develop frameworks that enable leadership to compare competing uses of capital and resources based on strategic fit, expected returns, risk and long‑term value creation.
• Investment cases: Lead the financial assessment of significant strategic initiatives and investments, including major operating expenditure and capital expenditure commitments.
• Strategic decision support: Build robust business cases, challenge underlying assumptions and provide an independent financial perspective on material strategic decisions.
• Market intelligence: Develop a fact‑based view of relevant market dynamics, competitive developments and industry trends, translating external intelligence into implications for the organisation’s strategy and financial outlook.
• Performance insights: Connect financial performance with the underlying operational and commercial drivers of the business, identifying emerging opportunities, risks and areas requiring leadership attention.
• Senior stakeholder partnership: Work closely with Finance, Strategy and business leaders to ensure major decisions are supported by rigorous analysis and a common understanding of their financial implications.

We are looking for a highly analytical finance leader who can move comfortably between financial modelling, strategic thinking and executive‑level decision support.

Strong candidates will bring:

• Significant experience in strategic finance, corporate finance, investment analysis, corporate development, FP&A, management consulting, investment banking or a closely related discipline.
• Strong financial modelling capability, including multi‑year forecasting, scenario and sensitivity analysis, and investment evaluation.
• Experience developing robust business and investment cases for significant strategic initiatives.
• Strong understanding of unit economics, profitability drivers, cohort analysis and value creation.
• The ability to interpret market and competitive information and translate it into financial and strategic implications.
• Strong commercial judgement, with an ability to challenge assumptions constructively rather than simply validate proposals.
• The ability to simplify sophisticated financial analysis into clear recommendations for senior decision‑makers.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder‑management skills, with the confidence to work across Finance, Strategy, Product, Technology and commercial functions.
• High intellectual curiosity, sound judgement and a strong bias towards fact‑based decision‑making.

Experience gained within financial services, technology, digital businesses, consumer finance or other data‑rich, high‑growth environments would be particularly relevant.

Candidates bringing experience from strategy consulting, investment banking or investing, complemented by meaningful operating or financial‑planning experience, may also be well suited to the mandate.
