Senior FP&A Specialist

 

 

We are looking for an analytically strong Senior FP&A Specialist who would thrive in a role playing a central role in redefining how we plan, forecast, and analyse our performance — from providing sharp, insight-driven analysis for management to building the models and tools that enable agile decision-making.

 

The job

In this role, you will combine deep business analysis with the technical know-how to develop and enhance our planning capabilities. Our ambition is to move from static and manual processes towards modern, integrated, and predictive planning, with analytics at the core.

 

In addition to that, your key tasks will be to:

• Drive forecasting, budgeting, and performance management processes, ensuring alignment with strategic and operational goals.
• Take the technical lead in developing and improving our planning models to make them scalable, flexible, and data-driven.
• Deliver high-quality financial analysis, insights, and recommendations to support decision-making at management level.
• Work closely with business units and Finance Business Partners to translate business dynamics into driver-based models and scenarios.
• Build and maintain robust data flows and integration between the planning platform and key source systems.
• Explore and implement advanced analytics and AI-enabled forecasting to improve accuracy and speed in planning.
• Enable scenario planning, driver-based forecasting, and rolling forecasts, incorporating automation and analytics where possible.
• Act as a trusted partner to stakeholders by challenging assumptions and providing fact-based analysis.
• Support continuous improvement of financial reporting, KPIs, and management dashboards in collaboration with BI colleagues.
• Contribute to the roadmap for digital finance by advancing the use of technology in planning and performance management.

 

Joining the team

Joining as a colleague within FP&A, you will join our Financial Performance and Insights team consisting of three Finance Business Partners each covering a business unit, a Performance and Digitalization Lead working cross-functionally and a partner-in-crime, another Senior FP&A Specialist.

 

Your everyday will also be as part of our broad Finance department covering several disciplines and providing you with more than 40 new colleagues. A department not shy of a good cup of coffee and a Friday beer from time to time.

 

Your qualifications

We are looking for a colleague who brings a finance degree and some years of experience in FP&A, business analysis, or financial modelling, ideally in a fast-changing or project-driven industry. Furthermore, we hope to see a proven track record of translating complex data into actionable business insights, by showcasing strong skills in budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis.

 

Additionally, Hands-on experience with planning platforms (Jedox, Anaplan, Adaptive, SAP BPC, IBM Planning Analytics, or similar) are highly relevant. Not to forget, excellent Excel skills and comfort working with multidimensional data models.

 

As our Finance department covers multiple disciplines, you must be able to work cross functionally across finance, BI, and business functions to align on priorities and deliver value.

 

As an advantage, it could be beneficial if you are familiar with AI forecasting, scenario modelling or advanced analytics tools, and some experience with PowerBI or other visualisation tools.

 

Please note that you must be able to present a clean criminal record and have lived in a NATO and/or an EU country for the past seven years as we work with security-classified projects. Read more here.
