Job Description
Group FP&A Manager | PE-Backed Healthcare Platform
Location: Munich, Germany (Primarily Office-Based)
Ownership: Backed by Tier-1 International Private Equity Investors
The Mandate This is not a conventional controlling role. We are seeking an exceptionally sharp finance professional to join the Group FP&A team of a leading pan-European healthcare platform. Reporting directly to the Director FP&A, you will operate at the intersection of executive decision-making, financial modeling, and operational value creation—moving seamlessly from C-suite and Board-level inquiries directly into underlying data structures and models.
Key Responsibilities
-
Build the Financial Story: Develop integrated five-year plans, annual budgets, rolling forecasts, and scenario models across P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, business KPIs, and equity value.
-
Hands-on Modeling & Systems: Work directly in Excel and IBM Planning Analytics (TM1) to build driver-based models, data retrievals, reporting logic, and templates. Interrogate source data to ensure full reconciliation and commercial clarity.
-
Performance Challenge: Analyze multi-country and Group results, identify variance drivers and forward risks, and constructively challenge country leadership on operational delivery.
-
Executive Decision Support: Translate complex financial analysis into crisp recommendations for the CFO, C-suite, Board, and private equity shareholders.
-
Strategic & Investment Agenda: Pressure-test business cases, support M&A and value-creation initiatives, and contribute to shareholder and exit-readiness workflows.
-
Process Leadership: Drive major planning cycles end-to-end across Finance, Operations, M&A, Procurement, Treasury, and Accounting.
Candidate Profile
-
Experience: Minimum 7 years of high-performance experience in Group FP&A, business control, Big 4 Transaction Services / Deal Advisory, Strategy Consulting, Valuation, or Investment Banking.
-
Modeling Expertise: Proven track record of personally building decision-grade financial models and working directly with large, complex datasets.
-
Systems Proficiency: Advanced Excel and PowerPoint/think-cell capability. Practical experience with structured planning platforms such as IBM Planning Analytics (TM1), SAP BPC, Anaplan, or Oracle HFM.
-
Stakeholder Management: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to simplify complex topics, debate assumptions constructively with senior executives, and present confidently to PE shareholders.
-
Education: Master’s degree in Finance, Economics, Econometrics, Business Administration, or a quantitative field such as Engineering.
-
Mindset: High numerical reasoning, strong ownership, low ego, and a bias for action in a fast-paced environment.
Why Join
-
Unmatched Exposure: Direct interface with the Group CFO, C-suite, country leadership, and two major international PE investors.
-
Build-and-Shape Mandate: High-impact opportunity to design and improve planning tools, data structures, and financial models rather than simply managing a static reporting cycle.
-
Lean, High-Caliber Team: High-visibility environment where individual output directly influences board-level decisions and capital allocation
