Posted2 hours ago
What is the job?
This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of FP&A at a pivotal stage in our growth. You will build on the foundations already in place, bringing commercial insight, structure and ambition to how we plan, forecast and make decisions across Montu’s European businesses.
You will be a trusted partner to leaders across Commercial, Marketing, Technology and the wider business. Your insight will directly shape strategic decisions, investment priorities and business performance at leadership level.
With significant scope to influence how the function evolves, this role also offers a clear path to building and leading an FP&A team as the business continues to scale.
What you will own?
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
What we offer:
Generous Leave: 25 days holiday (rising to 27 after year one and 30 after year three) + 8 bank holidays.
Pension Matching: Up to 5% employer matching contributions.
Flexibility and Wellness: Work-from-home options, cycle-to-work scheme, private healthcare and more.
Growth Opportunities: Collaborate across teams with support to grow your skills and impact.
Enhanced Maternity & Paternity Leave.
