Acting as “the right hand of the CFO”, the Head of FP&A (m/f/d) ensures that top management sees the “forest from the trees” in financial terms, introducing a holistic capital market view on the company’s business plan and its performance.

Key challenges & responsibilities:

• Further develop integrated financial business model to model, track and plan the company business plan (P&L, Cashflow, Balance Sheet)
  
• Revenue forecasting, liquidity planning
  
• Continuously translate company strategy and business model into a financial business plan in collaboration with top management and track its execution across time
  
• Own and moderate the company’s financial steering processes (budgeting, forecasting, monthly management reporting) and develop steering instruments suitable to the needs of a fast-paced, highly agile business environment (forecasting tools, scenario modelling, etc.)
  
• Actively monitor and manage the company’s liquidity position together with the CFO and support capital market measures with required analyses
  
• Develop and proliferate revenue driver models with strong linkage to non-financial KPIs and drivers in collaboration with the Business Intelligence team
