About the role

As Strategic Finance Manager at Kpler, your first mission will be to lead the implementation of our Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) tool, a critical project to elevate our planning, reporting, and performance tracking capabilities. You’ll drive this project end-to-end, from scoping and vendor selection to roll-out and adoption, in close collaboration with the broader finance team and cross-functional stakeholders.

Beyond this initial focus, you’ll help build our newly created Strategic Finance function and play a key role in shaping our financial strategy. Reporting to the Director of Strategic Finance, you’ll support company-wide planning, deliver data-driven insights, and partner with business leaders to guide decision-making as we continue to scale.

This is a high-impact role with significant ownership. We’re looking for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, loves solving complex problems, and is excited by the opportunity to build and evolve a finance function in a high-growth, global tech company.

• Financial Systems and Processes: Help implement scalable processes, systems, and tools (e.g., EPM) to enhance financial planning and reporting capabilities
• FP&A Operations: Once the EPM is live, support the end-to-end FP&A cycle including monthly closing, forecasting, annual budgeting, and long-term planning
• Strategic Projects: Conduct ad hoc strategic analyses and business cases to evaluate new opportunities, initiatives, and resource allocation
• Business Partnering: Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Sales, Marketing, Product, Business Units, etc.) to align financial insights with operational goals
• Data & Tools: Build financial models and dashboards to improve visibility into performance and drive data-informed decision making
• Team Collaboration: Contribute to building a best-in-class Strategic Finance team and play a key role in defining our culture and ways of working

• Experience: 4–6 years in FP&A, Strategic Finance, Corporate Finance, investment banking or consulting
• Analytical mindset: You’re comfortable with complex datasets and can synthesise insights quickly and clearly
• Strong communicator: You can explain financial concepts to non-financial stakeholders with clarity and confidence
• Autonomous & Agile: You’re a proactive self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and adapts quickly to change
• Tool-savvy: Advanced Excel and financial modelling skills; experience with planning tools (e.g., Pigment, Netsuite, Anaplan, or similar) and programming languages for data (e g., SQL, Python) is highly valued
• Team player: You’re collaborative, low ego, and energised by building something from scratch with others
