FP&A Lead

at  Perlego

WHAT WE DO

At Perlego, there are over 100 of us working hard to make education accessible to all. In this digital age, we believe that anyone should be able to learn anything at any time. Knowledge should be more accessible, not locked behind sky-high price tags.
Over the past 5 years, our goal has been to support students across the UK & Europe to access quality books. The next stage of Perlego is twofold: 1) expand our support to students globally, and 2) build a product that goes beyond the book, a platform that helps students study smarter and more effectively.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We are seeking an experienced and dynamic FP&A Lead to join our growing team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in solving complex business challenges, with an ability to develop revenue forecasts, manage pricing strategies, and support long-term financial planning.
This role is an opportunity to get involved with shaping our business - you will provide strategic financial insights across all business areas, ensuring comprehensive support for our company’s growth and financial health.
Ideally you will be comfortable dealing with ambiguity and have experience building financial models and processes from scratch. You will also have a strong commercial acumen and the ability to easily discuss complex financial concepts.

REQUIREMENTS

Unsure if you would be a good fit for this job? Please get in touch anyway, we are open to candidates that don’t exactly fit our requirements, or could bring other things to the team

FLEXIBLE

We operate a flexible hybrid working environment. If you’re based in London, we’d expect to see you in the office twice a week, if you’re outside of London we’d expect to see you at least 6 times a quarter (hopefully at our quarterly socials ). If you’re looking for a 100% remote role, this one is not for you.
At Perlego, we empower you to work in a way that supports your needs and your life. We trust people to know what works best for them. Check out our Flexa profile to find out more.
