What You'll Do • Serve as a strategic force multiplier for the Director of Finance, preparing decision briefs and leading cross-functional initiatives. • Own and manage key financial processes - including monthly, quarterly, and annual close - and coordinate with external auditors. • Ensure continuity and integrity of financial reporting across multiple jurisdictions. • Drive operational controlling: budget planning, financial forecasting, and liquidity management. • Build and deliver monthly financial reporting; conduct data-driven analyses to inform growth and investment decisions. • Identify and implement automation opportunities across finance workflows using AI tools, low-code platforms, and smart integrations. • Support financial modeling for growth and innovation projects; act as a strategic sparring partner to leadership. • Manage relationships with external advisors (tax, audit, legal) across jurisdictions. • Serve as a key link between Finance & People and other functions such as Growth and Engineering. • Help lay the foundation for a digital finance backbone - including intelligent dashboards, predictive KPIs, and scalable ERP/treasury architecture.

Nice to Have: • Familiarity with BI tools (e.g. Tableau, Looker, Power BI) or low-code/no-code platforms. • Experience supporting or building ERP or treasury system architecture. Compensation & Benefits • Salary: €50,000 – €60,000 per year, depending on experience. • Opportunity to shape and own the finance function at a high-growth technology company. • Direct collaboration with senior leadership and meaningful strategic impact from day one. • A dynamic, international team environment in central Berlin.
