Director of FP&A

The Job in a Nutshell Foodics is looking for a commercially minded, analytical and technology-forward finance leader to own the company's FP&A agenda. This is not a traditional budgeting and reporting role. The Director / Head of FP&A will be a strategic partner to the CFO, CEO and leadership team - translating performance into decisions, challenging assumptions, improving forecast quality, and building a scalable, AI-enabled FP&A function across a business operating at the intersection of SaaS, fintech and payments. Main Task & Responsibilities Own annual budgeting, long-range planning, rolling forecasts and reforecast cycles, with clear full-year landing views and disciplined forecast accuracy. Lead monthly performance reviews across revenue, ARR, gross profit, margins, EBITDA, OPEX, cash flow, headcount and key operating metrics. Translate results into concise executive insights: what changed, why it changed, what it means, and what management should do next. Build driver-based financial models and base / upside / downside scenarios to support strategic and operating decisions. Act as senior finance partner to Commercial, Product, Technology, Operations and People teams, challenging assumptions and improving resource allocation. Strengthen OPEX, headcount, CAPEX and strategic-investment governance, with clear ownership and accountability across the business. Evaluate pricing, new products, geographic expansion, partnerships, major commercial initiatives and M&A opportunities through robust business cases and post-investment reviews.

Create repeatable AI workflows or agents for recurring FP&A tasks and ad-hoc executive analysis. Combine Claude with Excel / Google Sheets, BI tools, SQL, planning systems or other finance technology. Define where AI should automate work, where human judgment remains essential, and how outputs should be validated Desired Candidate Profile 5+ years sales experience in SaaS /FinTech industry 10-15+ years of relevant experience in FP&A, commercial finance, business finance or strategic finance, with meaningful leadership responsibility.
