The Role

We are looking for a Finance Operations Specialist to join our growing Finance team in Barcelona. This is a hands-on position that will expose you to all the key processes of a high-impact Finance team in a B2B SaaS Fintech startup.

You will take ownership of a broad range of day-to-day finance activities while helping us strengthen processes, controls, reporting and the overall quality of our financial information.

This is not a purely transactional role. As the Finance function evolves, there will be significant opportunities to improve existing processes, automate recurring activities and take on broader responsibilities.

• Systems & Data: Confidently navigate ERP systems and use advanced Excel skills to manipulate, reconcile, and extract value from large datasets.

• Reporting & Analysis: Variance analysis, management reporting, and tracking finance KPIs.
• Treasury: Monitoring bank positions, cash forecasting, executing payments, and handling FX.
• Budgeting & Forecasting: Exposure to FP&A or annual budgeting processes.

• 3–6 years of experience in Finance, Accounting, Controlling, FP&A or a similar environment.
