You will work closely with Commercial Finance, RevOps, Data, and the broader Finance team to ensure revenue metrics are accurate, well-understood, and decision-useful. This is an excellent opportunity for an analytically strong finance professional to deepen their expertise in SaaS and embedded payments economics while operating close to senior stakeholders.

• Contribute to the annual and quarterly forecast, working closely with regional and functional heads.
• Support cash burn and balance sheet forecasting, including analysis of key drivers and variances.
• Provide financial analysis to support functional stakeholders in their decision making

What you need to succeed:

• 2+ years of experience in a finance, commercial analysis, or relevant role, ideally within a SaaS, FinTech or technology business.
• Proficiency in financial modeling across Google Sheets with ability to work with and translate complex datasets into meaningful insights.
• Solid understanding of SaaS metrics and foundational accounting concepts.
• Curiosity and aptitude for understanding payments (prior payments experience is a plus, not required!)
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to build and maintain highly collaborative relationships.
• Highly organised, dependable, and capable of prioritising and managing multiple tight deadlines simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
