at  Gradyent

At Gradyent we’re looking for a Business Analyst, Financial Planning & Analysis to join our team.
Interim - 6 months · Rotterdam, Netherlands

WHO WE ARE

A quarter of all energy in the world is consumed to heat buildings. District heating is the most significant opportunity for cities to decarbonize. Gradyent is on a mission to help cities to decarbonize faster by digitizing district heating with our digital twin. Backed by a group of top investors, we are scaling the platform globally.
We currently have a team of 120+ people and offices in Rotterdam (the Netherlands), Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, and Hungary. Our team combines programmers and energy specialists, data scientists and top-tier consulting alums.

WHAT WE DO

We offer a SaaS solution to create digital twins of heating networks. These digital twins, powered by AI and analytics, optimize (district) heating networks from heat sources to customers. As a result, we are transforming networks by reducing CO2 emissions and optimizing operations in terms of temperatures, pressures, costs and other metrics.

Gradyent has developed from a start-up to a scale-up. That makes it increasingly important that the right information for decision making is there at the right time: top quality financial management is key. As a Business Analyst in our finance department, you will be reporting directly to the Finance Director. You will develop and refine financial forecasts and budgets, helping Gradyent turn strategic objectives into reality, and you will provide analytical insights into our commercial performance in monthly reports. You will enable fact-based decision making in key strategic choices, e.g. by analyzing the profitability of our activities or by developing business cases for growth initiatives. Additionally, you will support corporate finance activities, including cash management and investor reporting.
Your structured thinking, your analytical sharpness and your crisp communication skills will help you develop insightful reports, presentations, and analyses for management and investors. By working interactively with stakeholders across the company, you quickly understand what piece of financial analysis will make the difference. You make sure to deliver this efficiently, either with impactful in-person communications or by enabling self-service analytics in a dashboarding environment.
