Director of FP&A and Investor Relations

About the Role
The company is seeking a commercially minded, analytical, and technology-forward finance leader to take ownership of the company's FP&A and Investor Relations. This position is not a traditional budgeting and reporting role; instead, the Director of FP&A and Investor Relations will serve as a strategic partner to the CFO, CEO, Board, and leadership team. The individual will be responsible for translating performance into strategic decisions, enhancing forecast quality, managing relationships with investors and stakeholders, and building a scalable, AI-enabled FP&A function within a business operating at the intersection of SaaS, fintech, and payments.

Main Tasks & Responsibilities

• Own annual budgeting, long-range planning, rolling forecasts, and reforecast cycles, ensuring clear full-year landing views and disciplined forecast accuracy.
• Lead monthly performance reviews across key financial metrics such as revenue, ARR, gross profit, margins, EBITDA, OPEX, cash flow, headcount, and other operating metrics.
• Translate results into concise executive insights that explain changes in performance, their causes, implications, and recommended actions.
• Build driver-based financial models and develop base, upside, and downside scenarios to support strategic and operational decisions.
• Act as a senior finance partner to Commercial, Product, Technology, Operations, and People teams, challenging assumptions and improving resource allocation.
• Strengthen governance around OPEX, headcount, CAPEX, and strategic investments with clear ownership and accountability.
• Evaluate pricing strategies, new product launches, geographic expansion, partnerships, major commercial initiatives, and M&A opportunities through comprehensive business cases and post-investment reviews.
• Upgrade FP&A systems, reporting, and automation processes to ensure scalability and reduce dependence on manual spreadsheet processes.
• Serve as a key point of contact for existing and prospective investors, lenders, and other external financial stakeholders.
• Prepare Board decks, investor updates, quarterly and annual reporting packages, and ad-hoc materials that clearly communicate company performance, strategy, and outlook.
• Manage narratives and supporting materials for capital-raising efforts (data rooms, financial models, KPI packs) in collaboration with the CFO/CEO during fundraising or strategic transactions.
• Own the investor reporting calendar, ensuring timely, accurate, and consistent communication of financial and operating results.
• Track investor sentiment, market trends, comparable company performance, and industry benchmarks relevant to SaaS, fintech, and payments to inform positioning.
• Coordinate due diligence processes with investors, auditors, and advisors to ensure data integrity and consistency across all external-facing materials.
• Use Claude to streamline performance analysis, scenario modeling, business cases, and management commentary.
• Analyze large financial and operating datasets to identify drivers, anomalies, trends, risks, and opportunities.
• Create repeatable AI workflows or agents for recurring FP&A tasks and ad-hoc executive analyses.
• Integrate Claude with Excel, Google Sheets, BI tools, SQL, planning systems, or other financial technologies.
• Determine where AI should automate tasks, where human judgment is necessary, and how outputs should be validated.

What Are We Looking For

• 10-15+ years of relevant experience in FP&A, commercial finance, business finance, or strategic finance, with significant leadership responsibility.
• A professional qualification is mandatory: active CMA certification or CFA charter.
• A strong understanding of both the SaaS and Fintech industries, including recurring revenue economics, retention, churn, unit economics, payments economics, margins, and key operating drivers of technology-enabled financial services.
• Demonstrated advanced utilization of Claude in daily finance operations; basic AI exposure is insufficient.
• Experience partnering directly with senior executives and presenting to Executive Committee, Board, or investor audiences.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel and Google Sheets; experience with BI, SQL, planning tools, and finance automation is highly desirable.

What We Offer You

• Highly competitive compensation packages that include bonuses and potential share options.
• A focus on personal development with regular training and an annual learning stipend to tackle new challenges and grow your career in a hyper-growth environment.
• The chance to join a talented team of over 30 nationalities working across 14 countries, gaining valuable experience in an exciting industry.
• Autonomy, mentorship, and ambitious goals that create outstanding opportunities for both personal and company growth.
