What you'll do

  • Own the annual budget, quarterly reforecast and long-range plan, plus scenario and funding cases for the C-suite and board
  • Be accountable for forecast accuracy against agreed tolerances, and for an honest post-mortem whether we miss or overachieve
  • Own the monthly board pack and the numbers behind it, plus materials for existing and prospective investors and our receivables lender, including covenant reporting and onsite diligence
  • Present to boards, investors and lenders yourself and be their first call for analytical questions
  • Build the models and documentation for equity and debt financing, analyse term sheets, work with the People team on cap table and option pool, and support the CFO on transactions
  • Own cohort economics, customer lifetime value, geographic and segment profitability, and the return on marketing and sales spend
  • With the CRO's organisation, build quota and commission models so targets, incentives and the forecast point at the same numbers
  • Partner with Product and Engineering, Fulfilment, Fintech and the commercial teams on build versus buy, hiring cases, pricing and fee experiments, and capital allocation
  • Lead the team: hiring, onboarding, objectives, development and performance, including written objectives and regular structured feedback for each person
  • Set the review standard and deliverables calendar, agree data contracts with the Data team, and own the tooling (Snowflake, NetSuite, ThoughtSpot, Claude and the modelling stack)

What we're looking for

  • A background in investment banking, FP&A or venture capital, building models that senior stakeholders made decisions on
  • You have led a team, directly or through managers, and you want the management part of this role
  • You have presented to boards, investors or lenders as the person answering the question, not the person who built the slide
  • A working understanding of marketplace dynamics: two-sided liquidity, take rates, usage-based revenue without a contract, and what FX does to all of it
  • Complex cohort modelling is native to you
  • You are comfortable in Snowflake and a modern BI tool, you treat AI tooling as part of the stack, and you would rather fix the pipeline than reformat the output every month
  • You are calm under pressure, low on ego and allergic to spin
  • You tell people the uncomfortable thing early

Nice to have

  • Receivables financing or lender reporting
  • A multi-jurisdiction group
  • NetSuite
  • A business that trades physical goods across borders
