Financial Planning & Analysis Lead

Position Summary 

We’re seeking a seasoned finance professional with a strong background in investment banking, corporate finance, or private equity to take ownership of FP&A and strategic financial planning. This will be a “player” role initially, focused on hands-on modelling, reporting and fundraising support — but with a clear path to bring in additional resources as the scope expands. 

This is a rare opportunity to step into a foundational senior finance role at a high-growth technology company operating at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, hardware and software. As the first dedicated FP&A hire, you'll work closely with the executive team & Finance Manager to shape the financial direction of the business. 

You’ll own core responsibilities from day one — driving strategic financial modelling, budgeting and commercial insight. If you’re ready to lead with impact and grow into a key strategic voice within the business, we’d love to hear from you. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Build and maintain a comprehensive financial model for the business, ensuring robustness and adaptability. 

• Develop and track revenue targets, partnering with key stakeholders across the business. 

• Lead the budgeting and forecasting cycles, providing meaningful variance analysis and commentary. 

• Produce financial and commercial reports to guide strategic decision-making. 

• Model various funding scenarios (debt, equity, hybrid), assessing impact on valuation and capital structure. 

• Analyze and support deal structures, including scenario modelling and term negotiation input. 

• Create high-quality investment materials such as pitch decks, memorandums and due diligence packages. 

• Act as a strategic business partner, offering insights and analysis that shape operations and long-term planning. 

• Support infrastructure and project finance efforts, especially in capex-intensive and energy-sensitive environments. 

Ideal Profile 

• Experience in investment banking, corporate finance or private equity is a must. 

• Advanced Excel financial modelling capabilities are essential. 

• Familiarity with valuation methods, debt structuring, and capital markets is highly desirable. 

• Strong commercial awareness and the ability to communicate complex financial topics clearly to stakeholders. 

• Background in the technology sector, ideally across both hardware and software domains 

• Comfortable operating autonomously in a lean environment 

Nice to Have  

• Exposure to cloud infrastructure (IaaS), data center financing, or hardware/software hybrid business models. 

• Experience with hardware asset-backed lending or project finance (e.g., models where customer reservations fund build-outs). 

• Background in capex-heavy industries or environments sensitive to energy costs. 

What We Offer 

• Work alongside top-tier talent in the AI, GPU and HPC ecosystem 

• Impact: You’ll play a crucial role in shaping our team and culture, influencing the future of NexGen Cloud. 

• Growth: Join a company that’s scaling, where your contributions directly drive success. 

• Autonomy & Ownership: We trust you to take charge, experiment, and drive recruitment strategies forward. 

• Collaborative Culture: Work alongside talented, ambitious and mission-driven colleagues in a dynamic environment. 

• Career Progression: As we grow, so do you—opportunities for additional responsibilities and leadership are on the horizon!
