• Support strategic and corporate initiatives (e.g. M&A support, fundraising, special projects) as required.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Degree in Finance, Economics, Business Administration, Engineering Management or a related quantitative field.

• 6+ years of relevant experience in FP&A, financial controlling or business partnering, ideally within an international group, scale up, manufacturing, engineering or technology environment.

• Strong understanding of the three financial statements and how they interconnect.

• Proven experience building and maintaining financial models and driving budgeting/forecasting cycles.

• Advanced Excel/financial modelling skills (comfort with large datasets, complex formulas, structured model design).

• Solid grounding in IFRS accounting principles.

• Fluent English and Italian.

Preferred/Nice-to-Have

• Experience in a capital-intensive, project- or program-driven industry (aerospace, defense, hardware/deep-tech, engineering, manufacturing).

• Exposure to public funding/grant reporting (ESA, EU, PNRR or similar).

• Experience with ERP systems (e.g. SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Infor LN, NetSuite) and BI/planning tools (e.g. Power BI, Tagetik, or similar).

• Familiarity with a listed-company environment and its reporting requirements.

Skills & Competencies

• Strong analytical mindset with attention to detail and the ability to see the bigger picture.

• Excellent business partnering and communication skills; able to explain financial concepts to nonfinance stakeholders.
