02ABOUT THE ROLE
This is an opportunity for an experienced finance business partner to join our Commercial Finance team, based in our London office.

Banking Partnerships: Partner with the VP Banking Relationships on banking partnerships, driving down banking costs and identifying bank routing efficiencies, including modelling the aggregator versus direct integration breakeven.
Cloud Economics: Partner with the VP Infrastructure on cloud cost analysis, ensuring infrastructure spend scales efficiently with usage.
Engineering Partnership: Partner with the VP Engineering on capacity allocation and capitalised development project decisions, day to day rather than at a distance.
Performance Commentary: Own monthly performance commentary on COGS, working with Accounting to confirm reported numbers are accurate and with the business to understand what is driving the trajectory.
Annual Planning: Lead the annual planning process for the cost base, including banking negotiation support, bank routing efficiencies and cloud or hosting optimisation as key initiatives, then support the business through the year to track performance against plan and course correct.
Investment decision support: Build business cases for high impact initiatives, which could include new products, regulatory permission changes in key markets, particularly in Europe, and support new product development with ad hoc financial analysis.
