Role
Who you are
- Experience: 4–6 years in FP&A, Strategic Finance, Corporate Finance, investment banking or consulting
- Analytical mindset: You’re comfortable with complex datasets and can synthesise insights quickly and clearly
- Strong communicator: You can explain financial concepts to non-financial stakeholders with clarity and confidence
- Autonomous & Agile: You’re a proactive self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and adapts quickly to change
- Tool-savvy: Advanced Excel and financial modelling skills; experience with planning tools (e.g., Pigment, Netsuite, Anaplan, or similar) and programming languages for data (e g., SQL, Python) is highly valued
- Team player: You’re collaborative, low ego, and energised by building something from scratch with others
What the job involves
- As Strategic Finance Manager at Kpler, your first mission will be to lead the implementation of our Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) tool, a critical project to elevate our planning, reporting, and performance tracking capabilities
- You’ll drive this project end-to-end, from scoping and vendor selection to roll-out and adoption, in close collaboration with the broader finance team and cross-functional stakeholders
- Beyond this initial focus, you’ll help build our newly created Strategic Finance function and play a key role in shaping our financial strategy
- Reporting to the Director of Strategic Finance, you’ll support company-wide planning, deliver data-driven insights, and partner with business leaders to guide decision-making as we continue to scale
- This is a high-impact role with significant ownership
- We’re looking for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, loves solving complex problems, and is excited by the opportunity to build and evolve a finance function in a high-growth, global tech company
- Financial Systems and Processes: Help implement scalable processes, systems, and tools (e.g., EPM) to enhance financial planning and reporting capabilities
- FP&A Operations: Once the EPM is live, support the end-to-end FP&A cycle including monthly closing, forecasting, annual budgeting, and long-term planning
- Strategic Projects: Conduct ad hoc strategic analyses and business cases to evaluate new opportunities, initiatives, and resource allocation
- Business Partnering: Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Sales, Marketing, Product, Business Units, etc.) to align financial insights with operational goals
- Data & Tools: Build financial models and dashboards to improve visibility into performance and drive data-informed decision making
- Team Collaboration: Contribute to building a best-in-class Strategic Finance team and play a key role in defining our culture and ways of working
Our take
Even as more and more industries digitise, processes in legacy industries such as trade remain relatively archaic – with commodity markets running on incomplete, dispersed and sometimes inaccurate information. Kpler, founded in 2014, brings data technology to trade, in order to make the space more efficient and sustainable.
Kpler is the leader in its field, claiming ten times the revenue and commercial footprint of its nearest competitor. The company supplies real-time, transparent data on commodity markets, as well as actionable insights for those acting in the industry. Partnerships with leading data providers and analytics firms have bolstered Kpler’s offerings to cover a range of markets across the trading space, cementing its leadership as a provider of commodity market data.
Kpler has received massive funding for its continued expansion, received atop already impressive growth and between 2022 and 2023, acquired five companies. The investment is being used to make more smart acquisitions, of note within the growing maritime analytics and logistics market, hire talent, and accelerate development to ensure it remains at the forefront of its field.
