Role
Who you are
- Degree in Business, Finance, Economics or a related field; Master's or MBA is a plus
- Extensive experience in Investment Banking, FP&A, Strategic Finance, or Controlling, ideally in a fast-growing internet environment
- Proven ability to build, own, and maintain complex revenue or topline financial models — cohort-based modelling experience is a strong differentiator
- Track record of running cross-functional planning processes independently, including facilitation of stakeholder sessions with commercial and operational teams
- You are equally comfortable presenting a variance summary to the CFO and digging into the underlying data to find out why — you see both as part of the same job
- Advanced proficiency in Google Sheets or Excel; experience with BI tools (Looker, Power BI) and CRM/revenue systems (Salesforce) is a strong plus
- Fluent in English. German and/or French is a strong asset given our DACH and France market scope
- Strategic Thinking & Problem Solving: Runs scenario analyses, translates outputs into actionable forecasts, and balances ambition with realism based on underlying data
- Stakeholder Management & Communication: Acts as a strategic sparring partner; facilitates sessions and clearly communicates performance insights to senior leadership
- Ownership & Execution: Owns financial models and planning processes end-to-end, ensuring accurate inputs and reliable outputs
- Builder Mindset & Continuous Improvement: Improves models and processes, drives automation and scalability, and supports adoption of new FP&A tools
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior FP&A and Controlling Analyst to join our team and embark on this journey with us
- Revenue Modelling & Topline Ownership: Own and maintain the company's cohort-based topline financial model, including sales planning and marketing model; consolidate inputs and outputs into our financial models, run scenario analyses, and translate outputs into actionable forecasts for senior leadership
- Monthly Target Setting Process: Lead the end-to-end monthly Target Setting cycle across Sales and Marketing teams; own the model layer, facilitate stakeholder sessions, and act as a strategic sparring partner to Business Unit leads — balancing ambition with realism
- Performance Management: Work closely with Sales and Marketing leads to analyse actual revenue/cost performance; support them in building the performance narrative with operational and financial metrics insights
- Financial Planning & Forecasting: Co-own the annual budget and quarterly rolling forecast processes; contribute to building a robust, predictable planning process that drives alignment, accountability, and early signal detection
- Model Infrastructure & Tools: Maintain and evolve the Google Sheets-based financial model ecosystem (Coefficient, Looker integration); support the rollout of new FP&A tooling; proactively identify opportunities to improve automation and scalability across the Finance function
Our take
In-person travel agents have been hit hard in recent years, meaning many people are losing out on top-tier service when it comes to planning their vacations. Tourlane solves this problem by offering customers the full travel agent experience online.
The company plans and books multi-day trips for individuals and small groups, and has maintained a laser-sharp focus on customer-centric service. This approach has worked well for the company, which is now backed by a number of high-profile entrepreneurs within the travel industry, including the founders of Trivago and Airbnb. The funding and credibility these backers have provided have allowed Tourlane to invest heavily in its technology, ensuring customers have more flexibility in their travel arrangements.
Since receiving substantial Series D funding in 2024, the company has remained steadfast on its course. Its focus now is on expanding into new markets and enhancing its AI technology as it navigates the evolving landscape of its industry.
