  • Act as the primary Budget Controller, reviewing spending requests and ensuring all expenditures are within approved budgets and properly justified.
  • Monitor budget utilization and financial commitments, identify variances or potential overruns, and escalate exceptions when required.
  • Prepare accurate management reports, dashboards, and financial analysis to support senior management decision-making.
  • Evaluate the financial impact of new initiatives, investments, and business plans, and provide recommendations on resource allocation.
  • Partner with Finance, Accounting, Operations, Commercial, HR, Product, and Technology teams to ensure financial and operational plans are aligned.
  • Maintain strong financial governance and promote budget ownership and accountability across the organization.
    • Bachelor’s degree in finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Administration, or a related field.
    • 5+ years of relevant experience in FP&A, Financial Control, Management Accounting, or a combination of these areas.
    • Strong experience in FP&A and budgeting, with demonstrated ownership of financial planning processes.
    • Experience in a SaaS, technology, or high-growth business environment is strongly preferred.
    • Strong business acumen and understanding of the relationship between revenue, costs, profitability, and cash flow.
    • Ability to challenge business decisions constructively from a financial perspective.
    • Strong communication and presentation skills, particularly when presenting financial information to senior management.
    • High level of ownership, attention to detail, and financial integrity.
    • Ability to work independently and operate effectively in a fast-paced, changing environment.

    Preferred Qualifications

    • CMA certification is preferred.
    • Knowledge or practical experience with AI-powered financial analysis, forecasting, automation, or reporting tools.
