  • Liquidity Stress Testing: Execute scenario-based modeling to evaluate the impact of strategic initiatives and/or operational changes to the company’s cash position.
  • Treasury Support: Assist with bank relationship management, credit facility covenant compliance, and intercompany funding processes.
  • Financial Modeling & Analysis: Maintain integrated 3-statement models (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) and work with the FP&A team to ensure that forecasts are accurately incorporated into long-term financial plans.
  • Team Collaboration: Coordinate with the broader FP&A team to provide variance analysis and relevant plans and forecasts as required by the CFO and C-Suite.
  • Master’s degree in Finance, Economics, Business Administration, or related field.
  • 2–3 years of relevant experience in investor relations, corporate finance, investment banking, consulting, or growth-stage startup finance with a focus on liquidity management
  • Advanced financial modelling expertise, with proven ability to build and maintain complex 3-statement financial models in Excel; strong skills in integrated forecasting, scenario analysis, sensitivity testing, and valuation support.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills (fluent English is a must; fluent German a strong plus).
  • Proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint
  • Proactive, independent mindset with the ability to own end-to-end processes in a small, fast-moving team.
  • A €1000 annual L&D budget as well as individual coaching options to ensure you have plenty of opportunities to learn, grow and achieve your goals
  • 26 days of vacation, +1 day every year up to a maximum of 30 days
