Role overview
MGID is a global native advertising platform that helps brands reach unique local audiences at scale through privacy-first targeting technology. We are looking for a Senior Finance Business Partner to join our newly established FP&A function and help transform financial planning and business decision-making across MGID. Working closely with business leaders, you will drive commercial insights, improve profitability and cash flow, and play a key role in implementing strategic financial initiatives, including a new prepayments policy.
Responsibilities
- Executive Co-Pilot: Serve as the primary commercial advisor to department heads (Publishing, Partnerships, Sales, Operations), translating complex financial realities into actionable strategic choices.
- Constructive Challenge: Actively evaluate business cases, hiring plans, and commercial assumptions. Ensure commercial decisions are backed by rigorous ROI data.
- Investment & ROI Evaluation: Support the financial appraisal, scenario planning, and business case framework for major new strategic initiatives, product launches, and capital deployment.
- P&L & Forecast: Support business leaders and the FP&A team in preparing rolling forecasts and annual budgets, ensuring alignment with business priorities.
- Driver-Based Forecasting: Build and optimize dynamic financial models that clearly link non-financial operational drivers (e.g., traffic, CPM, CPC, etc) directly to financial outcomes (revenue, margin, cash).
- Unit Economics Mastery: Lead deep-dive analyses into company profitability, pricing strategies.
- Metric Standardisation: Partner with the Business Intelligence (BI) and Data Engineering teams to build automated, scalable single-source-of-truth data models.
- Dashboard Evolution: Help transition the business away from individual dashboards (e.g., Tableau, Looker, PowerBI) to integrated ones.
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience in finance, FP&A, or Finance Business Partnering - ideally in a digital, adtech, marketplace, SaaS, or platform business.
- Experience building or significantly transforming processes, not just maintaining them.
- Strong in financial analysis, large datasets, Excel, and financial modelling.
- Able to explain complex financial topics clearly to non-financial stakeholders and work across functions.
- Combines strategic thinking with a hands-on, practical approach - comfortable working in an environment where processes are still being built.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Finance, Economics, or a related field.
- Languages proficiency: Fluent English, Ukrainian
Nice to have
- Experience with BI tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or similar.
