Senior FP&A Analyst

The day-to-day

Financial Planning, Forecasting & Manufacturing Scale-Up:

• Model financial outcomes for Helsing’s advanced manufacturing footprints (e.g., "Resilience Factories" across Europe and the US), assessing factory ramp-up costs, supply chain/inventory dynamics, and capital expenditure vs. operating expenditure trade-offs
• Design pricing, revenue recognition, and margin models that accommodate various defense contract types (fixed-price incentive, cost-plus-fixed-fee, milestone-based government billing) under relevant local standards (e.g., German MoD/UK MoD/US GAAP regulations)
• Build robust scenario analyses (bull/base/bear) that stress-test revenue, manufacturing output, supply chain resilience, contract win-rates, and geopolitical/procurement variables
• Support in delivering monthly financial review cycles with clear variance analysis (material cost, labor, overheads) and commercial insight against budgets and forecasts

Capital Allocation & Strategic Finance:

• Support the Director FP&A in optimizing massive working capital requirements tied to long-term government payment cycles and milestone-based defense contracts
• Assist in evaluating diverse financing structures, debt covenant modeling, and government or subsidized financing opportunities (e.g., European Investment Bank, national export credit agencies, and defense industrial funds)

You should apply if you

• Have proven strong experience in FP&A, Strategic Finance, or Corporate Finance, with a clear track record in high-growth, venture-backed, or recently listed technology/industrial environments
• Bring a track record of hands-on approach to monthly reporting, variance analysis
• Have strong passion for modern technology, automation, and data structures. You leverage advanced tooling and AI to drive insights rather than relying on manual spreadsheets
• Bring the ability to distill complex operational, supply-chain, and defense-contract economics into a clear strategic narrative
• Have a professional qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA), MBA, or CFA as a highly desirable add-on
• Work proficiently in German & English

Note: We operate in an industry where women, as well as other minority groups, are systematically under-represented. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications; ability and impact cannot be summarised in a few bullet points.
