Job Description
WHY WE NEED YOU
Because we're looking for someone who loves numbers when they help make decisions, not when they're sleeping in spreadsheets.
As Financial Manager, you drive the performance of structural and technological costs, produce reliable and actionable consolidated reporting, and secure the company's cash flow. You're at the heart of business, Tech, and Product challenges, with a real overview of costs and cash.
The deal: You manage a dedicated resource you help grow, work closely with G&A, Tech/Product, and Marketing teams, and play a key business partner role. You don't just do reporting, you help teams better understand their numbers to better drive their decisions.
If you want to be where decisions are made, it's now.
YOUR DAY-TO-DAY WITH US
Drive and optimize structural costs (G&A)
You build, track, and challenge budgets and forecasts for central functions (HR, Legal, Finance, Comms, Facilities...). You implement clear and useful monthly analyses and propose concrete efficiency action plans. Run vs one-off, recurring vs projects: you see it all.
Drive Tech / Product / Marketing costs
You manage Tech OPEX (SaaS licenses, cloud, maintenance, subcontracting) and Marketing (events, campaigns). You track CAPEX files, CIR (Research Tax Credit), and consolidate supplier commitments. You maintain a license inventory and lead renegotiations.
Manage payroll costs in collaboration with HR
You handle the full payroll cost management and tracking in close cooperation with HR. You monitor headcount evolution, analyze variances, and ensure accurate forecasting of personnel expenses across all entities.
Produce reliable and actionable consolidated reporting
You coordinate the consolidated monthly package: P&L, OPEX by function, headcount & costs, CAPEX, KPIs, with clear executive commentary. You ensure data consistency across entities, industrialize reporting (Power BI, Looker, automation), and ensure account submission in the shareholder's consolidation tool (BFC).
Drive cash flow and working capital
You build cash forecasts (budget and revisions), analyze variances vs actuals, and model scenarios (sensitivity, stress tests). You flag concerns before they become problems.
Be a real business partner
You lead performance reviews with Tech, Product, Marketing, G&A teams, and management. You help teams better understand their numbers to make better decisions. No paralyzing financial jargon, just clarity that drives action.
Manage and structure
You supervise and develop 1 person (junior analyst/controller): prioritization, skills development, quality standards. You structure and document team processes: SOPs, calendars, templates, best practices.
Qualifications

What we're really looking for:
-

-
Ability to challenge operational choices — contractor vs FTE, make or buy, and work closely with Support and Engineering teams

Solid mastery of P&L and cash — consolidation, analysis, forecasts, closings, consolidation
-
Comfortable in a multi-entity environment (6 entities) and multi-currency (EUR / USD, FX impacts)
-

Nice-to-haves that make the difference:

Background in audit, consulting, or M&A — with a real internal consulting posture
