About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Own company budget and performance reporting - track where each business area is against plan, surface what's really driving variances, and make sure senior management sees the picture early
- Partner with business-area leaders on their budgets and forecasts by pressure-testing the assumptions and raising the bar on how the business plans
- Identify financial risks early and bring senior management not just an issue, but a recommended path through it
- Act as the financial check on major client and supplier contracts before they're signed, protecting margin and flagging risk in commercial commitments
- Monitor live contract performance and surface risks that area-level reporting can miss
- Review statutory close and financial statements for SNC / IFRS Compliance
- Validate tax compliance in coordination with internal teams and external advisors
- Oversee how procurement decisions land financially across the company (both the spend itself and the policy discipline behind it)
- Be the company's primary face to external auditors, banks and tax authorities
- Drive the AI and automation agenda inside finance — identify where agents can take on more of the workload and show the team the way forward
Requirements
What you’ll need- Degree in Finance, Management, Economics, Accounting or related field
- 10–15+ years in finance, with at least some of that time at a senior level in a multi-entity or fast-moving environment
- Strong knowledge of SNC / IFRS and Portuguese taxation (IRC, VAT, IRS)
- Experience with ERP systems and BI tools (Power BI or similar)
- Experience in a tech, multi-entity or international group is an advantage
- International experience is a plus
- Hands-on experience building or deploying AI/agent-based tools in a finance context - we're looking for someone who's actually done this, not just read about it
- Strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to present complex financial matters clearly to different audiences
- Independent, intellectually curious, and willing to hold a position under pressure
- Excellent English language skills, spoken and written.
