- Business metrics fluency: Unit economics, cohort analysis, revenue drivers, and willingness to learn energy-specific KPIs
- Excel power user + genuine curiosity for automation & AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, n8n, Zapier, Power Query)
- Hands-on + structured: You'll build processes yourself before delegating

Desirable

What the job involves
- Build the financial backbone of a hypergrowth energy-tech scale-up — where your models drive real business decisions and your work accelerates the energy transition. As (Senior) FP&A Manager, you'll own the data foundation that powers management and investor decisions, bridging accounting, energy-tech data, and strategic planning while building reporting infrastructure from the ground up
- The challenge: Build investor-grade reporting in a hypergrowth environment where data is not perfect, systems are evolving, and speed matters. This isn't about maintaining existing processes — it's about creating and redesigning
- Our goal: A lean, tech-enabled Finance function with best-in-class processes, smart tools, and reliable data
- Own monthly and quarterly reporting packages: consolidate sales, energy-tech, and accounting data into actionable insights
- Define and track KPIs — unit economics, cohort analysis, revenue drivers
- Drive data quality across fragmented systems — you make numbers that make sense
- Build and own quarterly rolling forecasts and annual budgets — your models guide hiring, investment, and growth decisions
- Develop scenario planning and sensitivity analyses for fundraising and strategic initiatives
- Partner with Leadership to define financial strategy and translate it into executable plans
- Pull, clean, and consolidate data from multiple sources (CRM, ERP, billing, energy platforms) — you own the data pipelines that power our reporting
- Collaborate with Accounting, RevOps, Sales, and Tech teams to create a unified data model
- Navigate complex energy market data and translate it into financial metrics
- You're the translator between technical teams and executives — making complexity simple
- Build scalable processes using Excel, ETL Tools, and emerging AI tools
- Test and implement new reporting tools - you're hands-on, not just strategic
- Drive automation projects that save time and improve forecast accuracy
- Hire and mentor 1-2 FP&A Analysts in the medium term
- Grow from individual contributor to team leader - we'll support your development actively
- Take real responsibility and actively shape innovative products that drive the energy transition
- For this role: Build the reporting infrastructure that powers a fast-growing, complex business and influences hiring, expansion, and fundraising decisions
Our take
The global demand for renewable electricity is skyrocketing, reflecting the new commitments that are necessary for cutting down carbon emissions. While most companies, including smaller ones, are seeking access to renewable energy, as it stands sustainable energy is only accessible to companies with larger financial means.
Berlin-based Trawa is looking to challenge this narrative by building a digital, data-driven energy provider that helps businesses decarbonise their electricity consumption. With a particular focus on SMEs in the manufacturing and processing sectors, Trawa is enabling companies to make the switch to green electricity and join a growing circle of enterprises committed to the future of sustainability.
The startup has secured substantial funding over the years that will help accelerate its growth. While Trawa is still relatively new to the scene, it's making waves in its mission to revolutionise renewable energy and looks set for a bright future.
