We are 100+ people across London, Palo Alto, and New York, with rapid growth expectations to hundreds.
About The RoleWe are making our first dedicated FP&A hire: an FP&A Manager to own short-range forecasting, variance analysis, and accounting-grounded financial modeling across a multi-entity, multi-currency group, operating at both corporate and SPV level.
Reporting to the VP of Accounting, this is a hands-on, builder role: you will design the forecasting and reporting cadence from scratch, in an environment where capital deployment is large, fast, and lumpy — data center build-outs, GPU procurement, colocation deployments, and project financing.
This is not a classic long-range planning seat. The emphasis is on near-term accuracy: rolling 13-week cash forecasting, in-quarter and quarterly reforecasts, burn management, and models that reconcile cleanly to the general ledger and to US GAAP accounting positions.
What You Will Be DoingOwn the rolling 13-week cash flow forecast across all group entities and currencies (GBP, USD, EUR, NOK), including AP outflows, payroll, project payments, and intercompany funding
Run a monthly and quarterly P&L reforecast cycle covering opex, capex, headcount, and cash runway, with clear bridges to the prior forecast
Produce consolidated cash and burn reporting for the VP of Accounting, CFO, board, and investors, and manage runway scenarios against the funding plan
Deliver monthly actuals-vs-forecast and actuals-vs-budget variance analysis at entity, department, and project level, with root-cause commentary
Track project-level cost variances on data center deployments against approved budgets and purchase commitments
Build and maintain the group's operating and financial model on a US GAAP basis, consistent with the group's technical accounting positions (capitalization policy, ASC 842 lease accounting, project-finance debt, share-based compensation)
Model the P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow impacts of major transactions: site acquisitions, colocation and lease commitments, GPU financing, debt drawdowns, and equity events
Establish variance thresholds, escalation routes, and reporting formats that will stand up as SOX-adjacent management review controls
Define the FP&A calendar, templates, and data model, and contribute to ERP design during the NetSuite implementation
Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent), or equivalent depth in US GAAP-based modeling — this role requires genuine accounting fluency, not just spreadsheet fluency
5+ years in FP&A, with demonstrable ownership of short-range cash forecasting and variance analysis in a capital-intensive or high-burn environment
Experience in multi-entity, multi-currency groups; comfort with intercompany flows and FX in forecasting
Strong grasp of accrual accounting mechanics: able to build a three-statement model that ties to the trial balance and explain timing versus rate versus volume variances
Advanced Excel; experience with leading ERPs is strongly preferred
Comfort with ambiguity and zero-to-one process building; you write clearly and present numbers that go to the board without rework
Data center, infrastructure, energy, or other project-finance-heavy sector experience
Exposure to SOX 404 environments or IPO/listing readiness
Familiarity with ASC 842, ASC 718, or capitalization of infrastructure assets
Experience forecasting in pre-revenue or early-revenue companies
