Permanent employment contract

About this role

You don't just want to report numbers, but also help decide how a company grows?

As Head of Finance (m/f/d), you ensure we always know our financial standing: how much liquidity we have, which products and channels are generating revenue, and how much we can invest in marketing, inventory, and new markets. You provide the figures we use to make decisions and ensure our growth is soundly financed.

We are a rapidly growing e-commerce scale-up based in Hamburg's Speicherstadt district. Our mission is to inspire children with innovative products for lifelong learning and to make the lives of millions of families more loving and colorful.

Apply now and actively shape the future of a dynamic company!

Your tasks

Liquidity & Cash Flow: You are responsible for our rolling liquidity planning, so that we always know how much money is available for marketing, purchasing goods and seasonal peaks.
P&L & Controlling: You maintain our monthly P&L and show, using the contribution margin from DB1 to DB4, which products and channels we use to make money.
Financial statements & financing: You are responsible for the balance sheet and annual financial statements together with the tax advisor and conduct the negotiations with banks and financing partners.
Automation: You will automate our finance processes so that the figures are available quickly and reliably.

Your profile

You have at least 5+ years of experience in finance or controlling, ideally several years of which were in an 8-figure D2C e-commerce brand.
You understand the dynamics of e-commerce: ad spend, seasonality, purchasing goods in Asia, and payouts from Shopify and Amazon.
You build complex financial models yourself in Google Sheets or Excel.
You work hypothesis-driven and make decisions based on hard data rather than gut feeling.
