About this role

The challenge

As Director of Finance at Plenit, you'll play a key role in running and strengthening the company's core financial operations, planning, reporting and treasury as we continue to scale our business across Europe and Latin America.

Reporting directly to the COO, you'll own financial planning and analysis, management and statutory reporting, treasury and day-to-day financial operations, while partnering closely with department leads to support decision-making, identify opportunities for growth and optimize costs across the business.

You'll lead, develop and mentor the Finance team, strengthening financial processes, controls and systems to ensure they are robust, efficient and scalable. You'll also coordinate legal matters across the countries where Plenit operates, working closely with external legal counsel and advisors.

A significant part of the role will be hands-on. You'll be directly involved in budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, cash-flow management, reporting and business analysis, working closely with the COO on planning, scenario modelling and financial decision-making.

Your main areas of focus will include:

- FP&A;, Value Creation & Business Partnering: Own budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling and management reporting, partnering with department leads to monitor performance, identify growth opportunities and optimise spend.
- Treasury, Reporting & Financial Operations: Own cash and liquidity management, financial reporting, closing processes, banking relationships, debt facilities and scalable financial operations.
- Team Leadership & Legal Coordination: Lead and develop the Finance team and coordinate legal and compliance matters across Plenit's different markets with external counsel.

Given Plenit's Madrid headquarters and hybrid work model, regular in-office presence will be expected.
