About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own monthly BOM-level hardware cost allocation for robots and projects, including mapping components from Order Tracker and warehouse to the right project, robot, and cost centers in line with Nomagic’s cost accounting logic
Run monthly project and robot margin closes, including actuals vs budget analysis, variance explanations, and preparation of margin packs
Maintain a robust robot lifecycle cost model linking capex, leases, and opex to unit economics and ARR reporting
Lead warehouse and inventory cost reviews together with Engineering, including quarterly warehouse component reviews, project assignment, and support for annual physical inventory and audit
Implement and maintain capex policy and fixed asset logic for robots and key hardware (capitalization criteria, asset classes, useful lives, depreciation methods, FA-in-progress treatment) in collaboration with Head of Group Accounting
Track operational lease economics: ensure correct accounting treatment, margin impact, and alignment with RaaS financing structures
Prepare and lead the monthly robot margin review with Project Management: ensure cost completeness, highlight anomalies, and present clear, actionable insights
Feed accurate, reconciled actuals (capex, COGS, depreciation, leases) into Group Accounting for month-end close
Provide clean, structured margin data sets and commentary to FP&A for rolling forecasts, unit economics updates, and scenario analyses
Support the design and refinement of costing processes and tools (Order Tracker, ERP readiness, planning tool, invoicing tool) to reduce manual work and improve scalability until ERP is implemented
Document and standardise all controlling processes
Act as finance partner to Engineering/Project Management, proactively flagging risks, component gaps, and margin issues early, and recommending corrective actions

Advanced Excel/spreadsheet skills and strong data hygiene; comfortable working with multiple systems and large, detailed cost tables.
Demonstrated ability to work closely with engineering and project management teams, translating technical and operational information into clean financial structures.
Very good written and spoken English and Polish given local accounting and warehouse interactions.
Experience in a scale-up/fast-growing environment and comfort with imperfect systems, manual processes, and phased tooling improvements.
