Senior FP&A Manager

About This Opportunity

We are representing a fast-scaling fintech organization in Berlin that is building AI-native financial technology for the European market. They're searching for their first dedicated Senior FP&A Manager to establish the financial planning and analysis function from the ground up, reporting directly to the CFO.

This is a high-visibility, high-autonomy role for someone who wants to build systems, not just maintain them. You'll own forecasting, liquidity steering, board reporting, and go-to-market economics in a rapidly growing environment.

Responsibilities

• Planning & Forecasting: Own and continuously improve the integrated business plan (P&L, cash flow, balance sheet), including consolidation logic
• Budgeting: Run the annual budget and rolling re-forecast; translate strategy into a defensible operating plan and use-of-funds
• Performance Steering: Define and report the KPIs that matter and build them into BI dashboards; flag risks and levers early
• Investor Relations & Fundraising: Support board and investor reporting and potential future funding rounds with models and investor-grade materials
• GTM & Cohort Analysis: Build and own cohort analytics tied to go-to-market (retention, payback period, LTV/CAC, margin by acquisition channel); turn these into concrete recommendations on spend and channel mix
• Business Partnering: Partner with Commercial and Service Operations leaders on unit economics, pricing, funnel efficiency, and investment decisions
• Scalable Processes: Design processes that scale with rapid growth by using AI and agentic tooling to make planning faster, cleaner, and repeatable

What We're Looking For

• Experience: 5+ years in FP&A, corporate finance, investment banking, or a comparable analytical finance role, ideally with high-growth, VC-backed, or scale-up exposure
• Modelling Expertise: Expert financial modelling skills; you build clean, three-statement models and defend the assumptions
• Commercial Fluency: Deep understanding of unit economics, recurring-revenue metrics, and cash metrics; comfortable turning messy data into decisions
• Tools: Advanced Excel/Google Sheets proficiency; experience with BI/planning and AI tooling a strong plus
• Language: Fluent in both English and German; investor and board materials are produced in English
• Mindset: Hands-on, structured, comfortable with ambiguity and first-of-role ownership in a scaling environment
• Agentic Approach: You default to AI and agentic tools to automate the repetitive and build leverage—you think in reusable processes and systems, not one-off spreadsheets
• Education: Degree in finance, business, or a quantitative field; CFA, MBA, or qualified-accountant background welcome
• Location: Berlin-based; this role requires in-office presence

What our client is not looking for: People who wait to be told what to do, or who treat compliance and documentation as red tape rather than essential business protection.
