Posted Updated 9

Description
- This role supports Coverflex’s push toward disciplined, capital-efficient growth as the company scales toward its next funding milestones
- As the business adds markets and complexity, leadership needs to keep making fast, confident decisions
- This hire keeps Finance’s capacity to deliver those answers scaling alongside the company
- What are the main KPIs / Goals for this position for the next 3 to 9 months?
- Independently take over core FP&A ownership with no gaps in monthly close or board reporting
- Consolidate the scattered metric definitions already floating into one agreed metrics dictionary and drive adoption so it’s actually the reference people use, not another doc that gets ignored
- Take over line management of the FP&A Specialist, including growing her reporting & analytical skills
- Help shape and prioritise the data, systems and organisational setup (e.g. clean/accessible data models, self-serve tooling, clear ownership) needed to answer ad-hoc business requests quickly — partnering with Data and other teams — so response times improve and the setup scales as request volume grows
- Strengthen forecasting and scenario analysis
- How will we measure the hired candidate’s success for each KPI / Goal?
- Board/management reporting stays on schedule with no material errors
- Dashboard(s) are live and genuinely used - track adoption and any drop in ad-hoc requests to Finance
- The metrics dictionary exists, is agreed with key stakeholders, and is visibly the reference in use — new reports/dashboards cite it, and old scattered definitions stop circulating
- The Specialist is visibly growing in reporting & analytical capability and gives positive feedback on the management relationship
- Ad-hoc requests are answered quickly because the underlying data/systems/org setup supports it — not because of a manual queue; average response time drops and stays stable even as request volume grows
- Forecasts consistently include structured scenario analysis, not just a single base case, and are used in planning/board discussions — stakeholders can ask “what if” questions and get a fast, credible answer
- Reality Check - What Makes This Role Hard:
- Let’s be real - here’s what makes this role challenging:
- The real difficulty isn’t that anything is broken today — it’s that this person needs to operate strategically across FP&A while also being comfortable partnering with other teams rather than solving the gaps alone
- And, while doing so, ad-hoc requests from the business won’t pause while priorities shift — this person has to keep delivering in the moment while also setting up more scalable reporting for later
