Finance Business Partner - Senior Manager

Are you a strategic finance leader who thrives in a fast-paced, high-impact environment? Do you excel in business partnering beyond just financial reporting-helping drive commercial decisions, influencing senior stakeholders, and rolling up your sleeves to tackle complex challenges?

If so, we at substance want to talk to you for our SaaS client.

Reporting to the VP Finance and Corporate Strategy, this role requires you to engage and influence senior demanding stakeholders across different business groups.

What You'll Do

• Partner with C-level executives & senior stakeholders to shape business strategy, ensuring financial insights drive commercial success.
• Serve as the trusted finance advisor, challenging the status quo and driving data-backed decision-making across functions.
• Go beyond the numbers-work closely with teams to improve operational efficiencies, cost structures, and profitability.
• Lead financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting, ensuring alignment with business goals.
• Develop robust financial models that provide clarity and actionable insights for high-impact business decisions.
• Navigate ambiguity with confidence, proactively identifying risks and opportunities.

• A highly visible role with direct impact on business decisions.
• Work with top-tier leadership in a dynamic, fast-moving company.
• The opportunity to shape financial strategy and make a real difference.

• 10+ years of experience in finance, with a strong background in finance business partnering, FP&A, or commercial finance (this is not a financial controllership).
• Proven ability to engage and influence demanding senior stakeholders, including C-suite executives.
• A hands-on, solutions-driven mindset-you don't just report numbers; you use them to drive change.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate data into strategic insights.
• Exceptional stakeholder management-knowing when to challenge and when to collaborate.
• Experience in fast-paced, high-growth environments is a plus.
