About the role

The Finance team keeps Revolut moving with clarity and confidence. From accounting to strategic support, they work across the business to assess risk, guide decisions, and drive growth. Their insight shapes everything from daily operations to long-term plans and plays a key role in how we scale.

We're looking for a Finance & Strategy Manager to drive our business planning process, identifying and measuring growth and profitability initiatives. You'll be a strategic partner to key product and regional heads of departments.

Reporting to the CFO, you'll use your expertise in financial model design, data structuring, and data analysis to create forecasts using OLAP cubes and SQL databases. If you're motivated by learning new skills, we'll help you develop them.

  • Building and owning financial forecast models, including scenario and in-depth ad-hoc analysis
  • Providing financial insights through management reporting
  • Developing frameworks to gain insights into revenue and margins across countries, customer segments, and products compared to other regions
  • Developing business cases to identify, drive, and measure growth and profitability initiatives, including setting pricing, improving margins, and assessing new products and regions
  • Using best-practise techniques to ensure accurate and robust financial forecasts
  • Working closely across departments, including Accounting, Data, Treasury, and Risk, to ensure consistency in our work
  • Improving processes to be more robust, accurate, and efficient

What you'll need

  • 5–7 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, or strategy consulting at a top-tier company
  • Impeccable quantitative and technical skills, including complex financial modelling and data analysis, using tools such as SQL, MS Excel, and/or Python
  • Robust working knowledge of accounting and financial reporting standards
  • A track record of delivering results in a cross-functional, high-growth, and fast-paced environment
  • A degree in finance or economics from a top university
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills to make a good business case and convince people to help you execute it

Nice to have

  • Experience in a similar role (within finance and strategy, FP&A, strategic finance, etc.) in a fast-growing fintech or tech start-up
  • A CA, CFA, or other relevant industry certification
  • An MBA from a top-tier university
