About the role
Strategic Finance Manager at RobCo, reporting to the CFO, owning central analysis, reporting, and project controlling across multiple business models to scale during growth.
Responsibilities
- Drive COGS and gross margin analyses across all business models (RaaS, Sale + SaaS, OEM), and maintain and evolve fleet depreciation and cost models.
- Establish robust project controlling for deployments, implementing full-cost calculations, contribution margin accounting, and ongoing post-calculation.
- Ensure accurate valuation of work-in-progress (WIP) and inventory in close collaboration with Accounting, including quarterly target-vs-actual reconciliations, loss-free valuation, and provisions for onerous contracts.
- Collaborate systematically with Technical Program Managers to track project progress, billing readiness, scope changes, and remaining cost estimates without double counting across financial years.
- Prepare and update quarterly Board reporting materials focusing on TCV, revenue, gross margin, Opex, and cash burn and advance RobCo's financial models across multiple scenario analyses for executive decision-making.
- Lead the transition from remaining performance obligations to revenue, forecasting across customers/segments, and restructuring quarterly reporting with clear reconciliations between HGB, IFRS, and US GAAP.
- Partner closely with Sales/Deal Desk, Solutions & Delivery, Supply Chain, and Accounting to align deal structures, purchase requests, and material usage into consistent financial models.
- Support annual financial statements and forecast cycles alongside the CFO, external tax advisors, and auditors, serving as a strategic sparring partner on deal economics and revenue recognition.
Qualifications
- Completed vocational training or a degree in Finance, Business Administration, Economics, or comparable experience.
- Several years of experience in Strategic Finance, FP&A, Corporate Finance, or Controlling, ideally within a fast-paced scale-up or manufacturing/plant-engineering environment.

- Strong knowledge of financial reporting standards (HGB, IFRS, US GAAP), revenue recognition in project business, and familiarity with ERP systems (experience with Odoo or Xentral is a plus).
- Culture-aligned mindset: ownership, pragmatic and self-driven, high integrity as a strategic sparring partner, thrives with minimal onboarding.
- Very good English skills (fluent German required, C1+).
- A true player-coach mindset, comfortable with hands-on work and growing others.
