Industry: Cloud Computing / AI / European Deep-Tech SaaS

We are recruiting an FP&A Manager to join our team and contribute to a strategic finance transformation project for one of our clients, a European deep-tech company operating in cloud computing and AI.

The mission consists of designing and implementing an AI-native FP&A function to support a complex, multi-entity, international organization with multiple business models (SaaS, infrastructure, asset-intensive operations).

This is a project-based engagement, with high exposure to the clients executive leadership and strong impact on decision-making, forecasting and capital allocation.

About the Role

Reporting directly to the CFO, the FP&A Manager will build the FP&A function from scratch and act as a strategic business partner to senior leadership. This role is forward-looking, highly analytical, and decision-oriented.

Strong, proven experience implementing AI in FP&A workflows is mandatory.
The objective is to design an AI-augmented planning and analysis function, not to maintain manual or spreadsheet-heavy processes.

Key Responsibilities

• Own budgeting, rolling forecasts and performance management across business units

• Build driver-based financial models, scenario analysis and decision-support frameworks

• Lead monthly performance reviews and translate financial data into actionable insights

• Support strategic decisions (pricing, investments, capex, growth initiatives)

• Implement and scale FP&A tooling (NetSuite planning, Adaptive, Planful, etc.)

• Drive AI adoption in FP&A (predictive forecasting, automated variance analysis, scenario modeling)

• Partner closely with the Group Financial Controller to reconcile actuals vs forecast

• Support board and investor materials with forward-looking analysis

Required Experience & Profile

• 6–10+ years in FP&A, strategic finance or corporate finance

• Proven experience building FP&A processes from the ground up

• Strong exposure to multi-entity, international environments

• Background in SaaS, cloud, infrastructure or deep-tech companies

• NetSuite experience is a must-have (+++)

• Mandatory hands-on experience implementing AI tools in FP&A workflows

• Strong financial modeling skills and business partnering mindset

• Experience with FP&A platforms and BI tools (Tableau, Power BI, Looker)

• Comfortable operating in fast-paced, high-growth environments

What We Offer

• Strategic role at the core of a European AI & cloud deep-tech company

• High ownership and autonomy to build an AI-native FP&A function

• Direct exposure to CFO, leadership team and investors

• Fully remote setup (EMEA) with limited travel (~10–15%)
