FP&A Business Partner - Finance & Performance
Quick Summary
Malt is shaping the "New Way of Work" as Europe’s leading B2B freelance marketplace, scaling rapidly as a flagship member of the French Next40 with over 600 employees,
Minimum 5 years of dedicated FP&A, controlling, or project finance experience within a fast-moving tech scale-up or international environment.
Direct experience steering financial governance for engineering, IT, or product teams, serving as a trusted advisor to senior technical executives.
Deep technical accounting mastery of IFRS standards, specifically IAS 38 software capitalization lifecycles, with a track record of clean audit sign-offs.
Built complex, dynamic financial models and multi-dimensional planning tools from the ground up (prior experience with Pigment or modern FP&A platforms like Anaplan is a strong advantage).
Full bilingual operational fluency in both French and English, capable of challenging senior leadership and writing board-level materials in both languages.
Advanced multidimensional enterprise architecture and modeling on Pigment
Executive-level business partnering, steering R&D portfolio allocation and capital efficiency directly with C-level product and technology leaders.
End-to-end ESG regulatory reporting integration, translating non-financial data into institutional-grade reporting frameworks.
Thrive on being a trusted strategic co-pilot, comfortable sitting down with engineering leads to constructively challenge project assumptions, unit economics, and tech spend.
Love modern finance technology and prefer architecting scalable models in platforms like Pigment over relying on static, disconnected spreadsheets.
Embody high agency and radical ownership—you actively look for inefficiencies, initiate system improvements, and turn ambiguity into clear, automated processes.
Prefer passive reporting and back-office bookkeeping rather than engaging in dynamic, cross-functional business partnering with technical leaders.
Expect static, pre-built financial processes and feel uncomfortable building workflows from scratch.
View finance in isolation from company culture, struggling to communicate complex financial constraints
Day 30: Immerse yourself in Malt’s business model and culture, building strong relationships with the finance team, CTO, and CPO. Audit the existing Tech & Product cost centers, map current IAS 38 capitalization workflows, and complete initial onboarding onto Malt’s Pigment environment to baseline the Tech & Product forecast.
Day 90: Assume full financial stewardship of the Tech & Product budget, leading rolling forecast cadences and establishing clear ROI/NPV evaluation gates for new engineering projects. Deploy your first dedicated Pigment applications (including IFRS 2/IFRS 16 modeling) and stabilize data collection pipelines for ESG reporting milestones.
Day 180: Operate with total autonomy as the strategic finance leader for Tech & Product, delivering predictable rolling forecasts and driving clean audit compliance across all CapEx lifecycles. Champion continuous process efficiency by rolling out AI-assisted automations across financial planning workflows, maximizing return on technology investments across Malt.
