About the Role

Pragmatike is recruiting on behalf of a European deep-tech company operating in cloud computing and AI, supporting a complex, multi-entity international organization with multiple business models, including SaaS, infrastructure, and asset-intensive operations.

We are seeking an FP&A Manager (AI-Native Finance) to lead a strategic finance transformation and build an AI-augmented FP&A function from the ground up. This is a senior, highly analytical role with strong exposure to executive leadership and direct influence on forecasting, capital allocation, and strategic decision-making.

Reporting directly to the CFO, you will act as a strategic business partner to senior stakeholders, designing forward-looking planning and performance frameworks suited to a fast-growing deep-tech environment.

⚠️ Hands-on, proven experience implementing AI in FP&A workflows is mandatory.
This role is explicitly focused on AI-enabled planning and analysis, not spreadsheet-heavy or manual processes.

Your Responsibilities

• Build and own the FP&A function from scratch, including budgeting, rolling forecasts, and performance management across business units.

• Design and maintain driver-based financial models, scenario analysis, and decision-support frameworks.

• Lead monthly performance reviews, translating financial data into clear, actionable insights for leadership.

• Support strategic decision-making across pricing, investments, capex planning, and growth initiatives.

• Implement, scale, and optimize FP&A tooling (NetSuite Planning, Adaptive, Planful, or similar platforms).

• Drive AI adoption within FP&A, including predictive forecasting, automated variance analysis, and scenario modeling.

• Partner closely with the Group Financial Controller to reconcile actuals versus forecasts and ensure data consistency.

• Produce high-quality board and investor materials, with a strong emphasis on forward-looking analysis.

• Act as a trusted finance partner to senior leaders across multiple geographies and business models.

Required Qualifications

• 6–10+ years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, or corporate finance roles.

• Proven track record building FP&A processes and frameworks from the ground up.

• Strong experience operating in multi-entity, international environments.

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

• NetSuite experience is mandatory.

• Hands-on experience implementing AI tools in FP&A workflows is mandatory.

• Strong financial modeling skills and a business partnering mindset.

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

• Comfortable operating in fast-paced, high-growth environments with high autonomy.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience working closely with executive leadership, boards, or investors.

• Exposure to capital-intensive or infrastructure-heavy business models.

• Experience supporting fundraising, M&A, or long-term strategic planning initiatives.

• Familiarity with modern data stacks and automation-first finance environments.
