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.
• Upgrade FP&A systems, reporting and automation so the function scales with Foodics and relies less on manual spreadsheet-heavy processes.
• Use Claude to accelerate performance analysis, scenario modelling, business cases and management commentary.
• Interrogate large financial / operating datasets and identify drivers, anomalies, trends, risks and opportunities.
• 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
