About the Role:

This role offers a unique opportunity to shape the financial strategy of a leading regional fintech. Reporting to the Chief of Staff, you will own the FP&A engine across multiple markets, products, and entities, with your analyses directly informing strategic decisions across new products, partnerships, and markets. This is not a reporting-coordination role: on the processes you own, your judgment is the deliverable. We are looking for someone who forms a view and puts their name on it, challenges the business when the numbers don't support the story, and is hungry to build rather than maintain. 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A): Own budgeting, forecasting, and monthly and weekly reporting cycles - delivered decision-ready and owning the recommendation
  • Management & Board Reporting: Prepare board and management materials, distilling complex analyses into clear narratives on company performance
  • Business Partnering: Work with product and commercial leaders to challenge business logic, optimize unit economics, and drive accountability for growth targets. Surface variances and deliver actionable insights independently
  • Fundraising & Investor Relations: Support capital-raising efforts by leading data room preparation — assembling, analysing, and quality-checking the financial models, performance data, and supporting materials that underpin investor due diligence.
  • Process & Systems Enhancement: Partner with accounting, commercial, and data teams to proactively identify inefficiencies in finance systems and processes, applying automation and AI to sharpen analytics and strengthen reporting accuracy. 
Requirements:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field; MBA or professional certification (CFA, CPA) preferred
  • 8–10+ years of experience in investment banking, strategic finance, or corporate FP&A, ideally in a high-growth or tech-driven environment
  • Advanced financial modelling, with the ability to turn complex data into a recommendation, not just an output
  • Strong communication and storytelling, with the presence to influence senior stakeholders and hold a view in front of them 
  • Deep curiosity and understanding of fintech business models, unit economics, and market trends
  • Strategic, ownership-driven mindset — able to operate autonomously and lead cross-functional initiatives from concept to execution
  • Prior experience in fintech, payments, or high-growth technology companies is a strong plus
