Senior Manager / Lead FP&AI (m/w/d)

Outlook: The path to Head of FP&A is open, but not planned for the short term. Your responsibility grows with the impact you create, not with team size.

Your responsibilities

As the Senior Manager / Lead FP&AI (m/w/d), you will drive financial planning, analysis, and artificial intelligence initiatives to support our growing operations.

• Rebuild the FP&A foundation: current-state assessment, target architecture, budget, rolling forecast and multi-year planning
• Build and maintain integrated, driver-based financial models (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) for projects, the portfolio and the group, including multi-entity planning and intercompany
• Develop the KPI framework and prepare management, board, investor and bank reporting with clear recommendations for action
• Run scenario and sensitivity analyses and conduct deep dives on investments, financing, pricing and portfolio prioritization
• Build and operate agentic AI workflows for forecasting, anomaly detection, variance commentary and reporting, incl. guardrails and governance
• Close collaboration with the Data Team: you bring the finance logic and are the most demanding user of the data
• Evaluate and implement suitable FP&A tools and manage tool and AI costs (FinOps)

Preferred Qualifications

• At least 5+ years of experience in FP&A, controlling or strategic finance, ideally in a high-growth, complex environment
• Very good financial modeling skills (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) and understanding of complex financial and intercompany structures
• Experience in rebuilding or redesigning planning and reporting processes, as well as with planning and BI tools
• Hands-on mentality and enjoyment in building structures yourself
• Strong communication skills: you convince management, investors, banks and business functions

Ideally you bring:

• Energy sector experience, ideally solar/renewables, or other project-based business models
• Multi-entity planning, intercompany and investor/bank reporting
• Good German language skills
• Experience with Claude or other AI coding tools and agentic workflows

In addition, we value the following skills:

• Tech affinity: You see new tools and AI as leverage, not as a threat
• Openness to change: You approach change positively and with agility
• Impact mindset: For every analysis, you ask which decision it enables, and for every task: "Does a human need to do this, and where does it create the greatest impact?"
• Entrepreneurial thinking: You always consider financial decisions in the context of growth, market opportunities and overall strategy
• Drive to shape: You look at an organically grown Excel model and know what to keep, what to rebuild and what an agent can take over
• You are motivated by the mission to advance the energy transition

Here’s what you can expect from us:

With your ideas, you’ll have the chance to enrich our dynamic team and actively help shape the future of solar energy at a rapidly growing startup!

• Flat hierarchies, quick decision-making, and direct communication in a relaxed and positive work environment
• Creative freedom—with us, you’ll have 100% responsibility for what you do and will have the opportunity to grow through challenges
• Close collaboration with the founders, leading to a steep learning curve
• Flexible working hours and the option to work from home ensure a good work-life balance
• A modern office in the heart of Berlin with excellent BVG transit connections (e.g., Nordbahnhof, Rosenthaler Platz)
• A fully stocked kitchen with coffee, soft drinks, and snacks available around the clock
• Regular team lunches and other team events
• We offer attractive subsidies for Urban Sports Club, a JobRad bike, and public transportation
