Job description

Role highlights:

• Senior FP&A Manager

• Location: Espoo, Finland OR Warsaw, Poland

• Department: Finance

• Reports to: FP&A Director

• Employment type: Permanent

• Workplace model: Hybrid

• Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)

Why this role matters

The Senior FP&A Manager is a high-impact strategic finance role. This is not a reporting function. You will be the financial brain behind major investment decisions, business cases, and operational strategy — partnering with senior leaders across the business to shape how ICEYE allocates capital, scales operations, and plans for the future. We are looking for an exceptional candidate who is ready to own and transform the FP&A function, not maintain it.

What you will be doing

Board & Executive Reporting

• Contribute to board and investor materials, ensuring financial narrative is clear, accurate, and tells a coherent story.

• Support the CFO in preparing for board meetings, investor updates, and external financial communications.

Business Cases & Investment Decisions

• Lead the development of rigorous business cases for major investment decisions — new programmes, capital expenditure, technology platforms, and strategic partnerships.

• Challenge assumptions, stress-test financial models, and present clear go / no-go recommendations to the CFO and executive team.

• Own post-investment reviews to close the loop on business case assumptions and improve future decision-making.

Strategic Planning & Long-Range Forecasting

• Own the long-range financial plan, working alongside the FP&A Director and executive team to translate strategic ambition into financially coherent multi-year models.

• Identify the key value drivers across the business and build the analytical frameworks that connect operational activity to financial outcomes.

• Provide forward-looking insight on revenue, margin, and cash — surfacing risks and opportunities before they appear in the numbers.

FP&A Process Transformation

• Redesign and simplify the budgeting, forecasting, and reporting processes to reduce cycle time and increase the quality of insight delivered to decision-makers.

• Drive the implementation and adoption of planning and BI tooling, shifting the function away from manual spreadsheet dependency.

• Establish clear FP&A standards, templates, and governance that scale with the business.

Project & Stakeholder Leadership

• Take ownership of cross-functional finance projects from scoping through to delivery, bringing in the right people — from Finance, Operations, or the wider business — at the right time.

• Set clear direction and maintain momentum on workstreams that span multiple teams, ensuring accountability without requiring formal authority.

• Elevate the quality of financial work across the team by sharing knowledge, setting standards, and creating an environment where rigour and commercial thinking are the norm.

What We Are Looking For

Experience & Qualifications

• 5–10 years of experience in FP&A, consulting, or investment-facing roles.

• Proven track record of presenting to senior stakeholders and external audiences.

• Demonstrated experience designing finance processes and implementing AI.

• Accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) preferred, or equivalent by experience.

Key Competences

• Intellectual Firepower — comprehends complex problems, processes information and patterns; draws accurate conclusions and communicates them with clarity.

• Commercial Acumen — connects financial analysis to strategic and operational realities; not just a numbers person.

• Storytelling — translates data and analysis into compelling narrative that drives decisions.

• Influence Without Authority — builds credibility and drives change across teams who do not report to them.

• Ownership & Action — assumes full accountability for outcomes and drives work to completion.

Application Process

• Introductory call with Talent Attraction Partner

• Interview and case study with FP&A Director

• Interview with CFO
