We’re based in Berlin but are also open to hiring remotely in Germany or the United Kingdom (where you can also work from our new London office, with travel to Berlin!).
As Upvest continues on its exponential growth path, we are looking for an exceptional Commercial Finance Lead to join our Finance team. You will play a key role in building out a world-class Commercial Finance function, developing and owning the relationship with our Commercial (Growth) teams to drive strategic decision making relating to top-line. Reporting to our VP Finance, Josh Masser, you will have the opportunity to work directly with senior stakeholders across the business.

• Build a world class commercial finance function from the ground up: We’re only a couple of years into our journey, so lots of things in Finance and across the company can still be implemented and developed. There is a real opportunity to drive significant impact in the business through enabling exponential growth:
• Develop frameworks to drive positive customer outcomes with sharp analysis on pricing, revenue, and unit economics
• Support the team with partner/vendor negotiations
• Incorporate smart short-cuts & automations for recurring activities (closing, reporting, deal support, etc.)
• Be part of a top-notch, diverse Finance function that enables a continuous learning environment: We already built a strong team of 15 people, which means you can focus your energy on your core responsibilities and always have the support of true Finance experts at your fingertips. We are live with BigQuery/Looker, Netsuite ERP and Abacum (next-gen financial planning & reporting tool).
• A very experienced team and culture driven organization at Upvest: We are one of Europe’s fastest growing fintechs thanks to having assembled a world-class team with lots of experience across all key domains that we require for our success, from banking and risk to regulatory, legal and compliance to - last but certainly not least - product and engineering. The organization is full of people who have successfully scaled companies before, who understand the importance and live and breathe culture and “people first”.
• Have fun in the process!
