About the role

YOUR JOB
Ready to turn complex finance data into clean, scalable and reliable reporting? Excited to move FP&A beyond manual spreadsheet work and build smarter connections between systems, models and actuals? If you like being close to the numbers, but even closer to the logic behind them, join our Finance Team and help us build the next level of FP&A at DataGuard.

WE PROTECT THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE DATA
We are a fast-growing security and compliance tech company with a clear purpose: we protect the people behind the data. With over 200 team members worldwide and with offices in Munich, Berlin, London, Stockholm, and Vienna, we help more than 4,000 global customers get certified fast and build a strong and scalable risk posture. With AI-powered automation, self-serve capabilities, and additional tailored expert advice, we offer our customers a seamless security and compliance experience to stay ahead of the rapidly evolving security landscape and challenges like the surge in cyber-attacks.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
You continuously improve our finance data landscape by reducing manual touchpoints, optimizing system integrations, and making reporting and planning processes more scalable

You connect finance systems, source data and reporting logic across tools such as Chargebee, Salesforce, DATEV, Xero, Fortnox and Agicap helping us make our finance function smarter, more scalable and robust

You own the logic between accounting actuals, management reporting, forecasting and financial models so leadership can work with clear, consistent and decision ready finance insights

You automate and optimize recurring finance processes such as monthly reporting, cash forecasting, actuals consolidation, commission calculations and KPI monitoring

You design and improve integrations, APIs and finance tooling to reduce manual exports, uploads, reconciliations and spreadsheet maintenance wherever possible

You help shape a finance function where smart systems do the heavy lifting and the team can focus on insights, decisions and business impact

WHAT YOU'LL GET IN RETURN
The freedom, trust, and tools to do what you love and make an impact in a purpose-driven company, committed to doing genuine good in the digital world.

Enjoy a high degree of flexibility with tailored working hours, choice of work location, and benefits that support your lifestyle, health, and family needs.

Join a secure, future-focused role in a dynamic scale-up positioned to make a major impact in the rapidly expanding Security & Compliance market.

Grow along expert or leadership paths with support from employee accelerator programs, bi-annual feedback cycles, and a personal training budget.

Work in an environment that values autonomy, rapid decision-making, a flat hierarchy, and collaborative, eye-level communication to keep things moving forward.

THE QUALITIES YOU'LL NEED FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER AT DATAGUARD
3+ years of experience in FP&A, Strategic Finance, Finance Operations, Business Analytics, Commercial Finance or a similar finance data focused role within SaaS or another recurring revenue business where ARR, MRR, churn and CAC are familiar territory

Strong FP&A fundamentals across financial modelling, forecasting, budgeting, variance analysis and management reporting

Hands on experience improving finance systems, integrations or automation workflows, ideally including APIs, AI enabled workflows or ERP related projects

A builder mindset with real curiosity for how finance, data and systems orchestrate

Advanced Excel skills and the confidence to work with large datasets, complex models, pivots, queries, validation logic and reporting structures

Fluent English skills; German is a plus but not necessary
