Key Responsibilities

• Own annual budgeting, long-range planning, rolling forecasts, and reforecast cycles, ensuring 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, identifying changes, their causes, implications, and recommended management actions.
• Build driver-based financial models and base/upside/downside scenarios to support strategic and operating decisions.
• Act as a 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, establishing 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.
• Upgrade FP&A systems, reporting, and automation to ensure the function scales with Foodics and reduces reliance on manual spreadsheet processes.
• Utilize Claude to accelerate performance analysis, scenario modeling, business cases, and management commentary.

• 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.

Candidate Profile

• Mandatory professional qualification: active CMA certification or CFA charter.
• Demonstrated current and sophisticated use of Claude in day-to-day finance work; basic AI exposure is not sufficient.
