About The Role

• 
  
• We are now creating a Strategic Finance team, reporting directly to the CFO
  
• Strategic Finance explains papernest's performance and builds the numbers behind its decisions: what the P&L and the cash actually did last month, what the plan says the company can afford next year, and what a given bet is worth before we commit to it.
  
• This is a hands‑on and highly exposed role. You build the models yourself, with one Business Controller alongside you, and work directly with the CFO, the executive committee and the business leads: on the monthly review, on the Operating Plan, on profitability deep‑dives, and on the financial workstreams of our equity and debt funding.
  

What You Will Do
Monthly performance

• 
  
• Analyse group performance (P&L and cash) against last year and against budget, and write the commentary for the executive committee and the Board
  
• Own the full P&L of our platform business end to end, from accrual reviews through to contribution margin and performance analysis
  
• Review and approve the P&L of our energy, insurance and carbon products before consolidation
  

Financial planning and business partnering

• 
  
• Build and maintain the models forecasting all three financial statements (P&L, balance sheet and cash flow) to support decision‑making and external funding
  
• Co‑lead the annual Operating Plan from business‑unit inputs through to arbitration with the founders
  
• Own the consolidated cash forecast and the financial section of the Board pack
  
• Lead the business case and financial workstreams in equity and debt funding processes, from the business plan to due diligence
  
• Partner with business teams on initiatives needing deep financial analysis: profitability deep‑dives by product or market, economic models for partnerships, etc.
  

Team and systems

• 
  
• Manage and develop the Business Controller
  
• Define the managerial P&L framework with Accounting: analytic structure, business‑line and country cuts
  
• Drive automation in financial reporting and analysis
  

Who You Are

• 
  
• A finance professional with 8 or more years of experience, combining a strong FP&A (contrôle de gestion) foundation with advanced financial modelling
  
• You have worked in a scale‑up or a fast‑paced international group, ideally in B2C services or subscription business models
  
• You partner with P&L owners rather than reporting to them, and you are comfortable challenging a business team
  
• You build complex models from underlying business drivers through to financial statements
  
• You are fluent across all three financial statements: P&L, balance sheet and cash flow
  
• You are comfortable with AI tools and the Google suite, and you are SQL or BI literate
  
• You communicate clearly, in writing and in front of an executive audience
  
• You are fluent in English; working proficiency in French highly appreciated
  

A big plus

• 
  
• Experience in corporate development or M&A
  
• Spanish
  
• Experience facing lenders or investors: covenant modelling, lender reporting, due diligence
  
• Experience in a multi‑entity group, with exposure to consolidation
