We are hiring a Finance Business Partner reporting to the Global CFO. This is a dual-mandate role: you will be the strategic finance partner to our Product and Engineering organizations, and you will own financial reporting and consolidation up to our parent company.
You will translate engineering investment into business outcomes, drive accountability on R&D spend and product economics, and ensure our reporting to the parent company is accurate, timely, and decision-useful. This role has high visibility with the CFO, the CPO/CTO, and parent-company finance leadership.
What You'll Do
Strategic Finance Partnership - Product & Engineering
Serve as the embedded finance leader for the CTO, joining their leadership meetings and acting as a thought partner on resource allocation, roadmap trade-offs, and build-vs-buy decisions.
Own the R&D budget and headcount plan, partnering with engineering leaders on capacity planning, vendor/cloud spend, and capitalized software cost decisions.
Build the financial framework for product investment cases, including ROI models, payback analysis, and post-launch performance reviews.
Define and track the KPIs that matter for product and engineering - unit economics, cost-to-serve, infrastructure efficiency, engineering productivity - and turn them into a recurring operating cadence.
Translate technical roadmaps into financial forecasts, and translate financial constraints into clear guidance for technical leaders.
Reporting & Consolidation to Parent Company
Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting package delivered to our parent company, ensuring it is accurate, on time, and aligned with parent-company accounting policies and reporting standards
Lead the consolidation process, including intercompany eliminations, FX, allocations, and reconciliation of management reporting to statutory results.
Serve as the primary finance liaison to parent-company FP&A, controllership, and investor relations teams; respond to ad hoc requests and represent our entity in group-level reviews.
Drive the budget and forecast submission cycles into the parent company, including variance commentary, bridge analyses, and risk and opportunity reporting.
Partner with the controller and accounting team to ensure clean close processes and continuously improve the quality and timeliness of submitted data.
Cross-Functional & Leadership
Mentor and develop FP&A and finance staff supporting the product and engineering organization.
Drive continuous improvement in financial systems, planning tools, and reporting infrastructure.
What We're Looking For
10+ years of progressive finance experience, with meaningful time in FP&A or business partnering at a public company or a subsidiary of a public parent.
Demonstrated experience partnering directly with senior product and engineering leaders, including building R&D budgets and product investment cases.
Strong working knowledge of consolidation, intercompany accounting, and group reporting requirements; comfort with US GAAP (IFRS familiarity a plus).
Experience operating inside a public-company control environment - SOX, quarterly close cadence, audit interactions, and disclosure considerations.
Track record of building financial models, operating dashboards, and board-quality narratives that have actually changed business decisions.
Excellent executive communication skills, with the credibility to push back on senior business and finance leaders.
Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field; MBA, CPA, or CFA preferred.
Advanced Excel required; experience with consolidation tools (e.g., Hyperion, OneStream, SAP BPC) and modern planning platforms (e.g., Anaplan, Pigment, Workday Adaptive) strongly preferred.
