Head of FP&A - Europe
What is the job?
Financial Planning & Modelling
- Set the strategic direction for FP&A across Europe, owning and continuously evolving the financial models that underpin forecasting, scenario planning, and three-way modelling
- Lead the annual budgeting cycle and regular re-forecasts end to end, setting the standard for how the business plans
- Own long-term planning and investment decision support, including scenario analysis, commercial modelling, and business case development for board-level initiatives
Performance & Insight
- Own monthly reporting and variance analysis at leadership and board level, connecting financial performance to strategic drivers
- Act as the senior finance partner to functional leads, translating numbers into insight and holding leadership teams accountable to budgets and OKRs
- Identify the story behind the numbers and use it to influence strategic direction, not just report on it
Tooling & Infrastructure
- Own the roadmap for financial planning and reporting infrastructure across the business
- Work with the Data & Analytics team to automate reporting and improve the quality, speed, and accessibility of financial data across the business
- Bring a continuous improvement mindset - spotting opportunities for better process, tooling, and reporting before they become bottlenecks
Leadership & Influence
- Build and lead the FP&A team as the function scales, with direct hiring and management responsibility
- Act as a senior commercial partner and advisor to leaders across the business, including at board level
- Set the standards, governance, and processes this function will run on long-term
- Represent Finance in strategic, board, and investor-facing discussions
What we are looking for
- Extensive experience (typically 8+ years) in FP&A, commercial finance, or business partnering, including experience operating at senior/leadership level in a fast-paced or scaling environment
- Fully ACA, CIMA, ACCA qualified (or equivalent), with advanced financial modelling and planning expertise
- Demonstrated experience building and owning complex forecasts, including three-way financial models, from scratch
- Proven experience building an FP&A function or reporting infrastructure - this is essential, not a plus
- A genuinely commercial, board-ready mindset - curious about the whole business, not just Finance
- Strong executive presence, with the ability to influence and build trust with senior leadership and board members
- Comfort with significant ambiguity and a track record of taking full ownership in high-growth, evolving environments
- Prior experience managing or building a team is strongly preferred
Nice to Have
- Experience in high-volume D2C or tech-enabled businesses
- Experience supporting fundraising, board reporting, or investor relations
- Experience selecting and implementing FP&A or reporting tools/platforms
Why This Role?
- Genuine ownership - you're not inheriting a function, you're building one
- Visibility - direct exposure to senior leadership and strategic decision-making from day one
- Growth - a clear path to building and leading a team as FP&A scales with the business
- Impact - your models and insight will directly shape how the company plans, invests, and grows
