In this role, you will play a key part in maintaining our financial infrastructure, driving cross-border operational efficiency, and ensuring financial accuracy across operating entities in the EU, US, UK, and emerging markets.

You will act as a vital bridge between Product, Engineering, and Finance - structuring payment data into clear financial reporting, partnering with Product Owners on unit economics, automating finance workflows with modern AI tools, and assisting with global regulatory compliance.

• Establish operational checks and reconciliation controls to validate transactional accuracy across the entire finance pipeline, especially when new product features are launched.
• Implement and utilize AI-driven finance tools and scripts to automate daily performance monitoring, transaction categorization, and reporting.

2. Product-Level Financial Modeling Ownership:

• Collaborate with Product Owners to analyze unit economics, build pre-launch financial models (pricing, margins, volume projections), and evaluate profitability.
• Continuously monitor product-level performance to identify margin improvements, pricing optimization, and cost-reduction opportunities.

3. Financial Operations

• Apply a unified methodology to consolidate product-level P&Ls, balance sheet data, and cash flow reports into clear group-level management views.
• Support annual budget preparation and quarterly rolling forecasts, ensuring high data accuracy and variance tracking.
• Maintain systematic cost-control tracking, monitor day-to-day operational expenses, and support intercompany funding allocations.

• Strong expertise in financial data mapping, ERP/accounting systems, SQL, or advanced modeling tools to connect transactional data to accounting logic.
• Hands-on experience building unit economics models, pricing frameworks, and product margin analyses.
• Familiarity or direct experience using AI tools and automation software to streamline routine reporting tasks.
• General familiarity with cross-border operations, IFRS/GAAP standards, and statutory audit workflows.
