Working closely with our leadership team, you will be responsible for our financial planning, including our yearly budget, as well as managing and monitoring the cost spend per team.

Reporting and Analysis


This role is key to our business performance. As an analytic and data driven professional you will be able to spot any deviations from KPIs, pre planned targets and performance. However you will not just be able to identify these issues, but also the communication skills to highlight this to the wider business. Whether it’s ad-hoc analysis and recommendations, or yearly financial planning you will be the sole focal point for transparency on costs across our business. Your drive for continual improvement will also see you constantly looking to remove inefficiencies in our financial processes, and optimise our cost performance. As an outstanding innovator, you will be committed to the idea of building the most flexible and digital Finance department possible.

You will bring along significant experience in a Controlling/Accounting function, and ideally you already have experience in the Startup/FinTech environment. As well as this you will have a university degree in Business Economics with an emphasis on Controlling or Accounting. This will compliment your outstanding analytical skills, whilst working with data and numbers is second nature to you. You will also be an excellent communicator, as comfortable working in German as in English and happy to converse with senior stakeholders in both languages. As an ambitious and natural leader, the opportunity to build and mould a team excites you and you may even have previous management experience. Lastly, you will be naturally curious - always seeking to understand innovations in the industry and to see how these can be implemented into our controlling. Your team should be a reflection of you: modern, digital and innovative.
