What the job really is
About us
At GotPhoto, we are freeing photographers to be more successful.
Through our platforms GotPhoto.com and fotograf.de, we help professional photographers simplify and transform the way they work — from photo management and client communication to ordering and payment processing. Our end-to-end workflow and e-commerce solution gives photographers more time to focus on what matters most: being behind the lens.
Since 2012, we’ve built a sustainable and profitable business driven by entrepreneurial spirit, innovation, and a deep understanding of photographers’ everyday challenges. Today, thousands of photographers trust our software , creating their own success stories along the way.
As the leading e-commerce engine for professional volume photographers and a business backed by EQT, one of the world’s leading private equity firms, we’re powered by a team of 150+ talented and international people building technology that simplifies photographers’ everyday work and helps them focus on capturing meaningful moments.
Join us on our journey to empower photographers like never before.
Your Role
Do you want to move beyond traditional Excel modeling and define the future of data-driven finance operations?
Are you ready to be a key architect of the financial narrative for a high-growth SaaS business backed by world-class PE investors?
...then you are our perfect match!
Prepare for a steep learning curve and the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy by evolving our FP&A infrastructure for the next stage of scale. This is not a 'run the model and report back' role; we want someone who interrogates the numbers, surfaces the story behind them, and is willing to challenge assumptions at every level of the organisation.
Please note: This is a 12 month maternity cover.
What You'll Do
Drive Strategic Visibility: Build, maintain, and present meaningful dashboards and reports (e.g., Monthly Flash, Management Pack, Board Pack) that enable the Board, CFO, and Head of FP&A to monitor performance and take action.
Modernize the Stack: Support the migration of our FP&A tool/platform by defining requirements, mapping data flows, validating systems, and training stakeholders.
Architect Planning Frameworks: Implement end-to-end forecasting and budgeting templates and processes to enable efficient, accurate quarterly and annual planning cycles.
Define the Truth: Partner with the Data team to validate SaaS KPIs, ensuring a single version of truth across all business reporting.
Sales & Marketing Partnering: Support pipeline-to-forecast conversion modeling and commission tracking for Sales, while collaborating with Marketing to optimize segment profitability and ROI.
Operational Ownership: Manage and forecast global OPEX directly with department heads and support the Accounting team with month-end reviews and ad-hoc strategic business cases.
What You'll Bring
Experience
The Foundation: Minimum 4+ years’ experience in FP&A, business finance, or a similar analytical role, ideally within a high-growth SaaS or subscription business.
The "Scar Tissue": Proven track record of building complex financial models and managing investor-grade reporting (Private Equity/PE experience is a significant plus).
The Builder: Experience with platform/tool migrations (FP&A or ERP systems) and a history of driving process improvements.
Skills
Technical Mastery: Highly proficient in Excel/G-Sheets; SQL experience is a plus.
AI & Automation: Proven track record of leveraging AI-driven tools and methodologies to streamline analytical workflows and optimize repetitive tasks.
SaaS Fluency: Deep understanding of SaaS economics and metrics (ARR, Churn, LTV/CAC).
Communication: Excellent verbal and written English; German is a bonus but not required.
Mindset
The Interrogator: You don't just report numbers; you surface the story behind them and challenge assumptions at every level.
The Owner Mindset: You take full ownership of your workstreams and drive change in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.
Bias to Action: You prefer a "shipped" automated solution over a "perfect" manual one.
Keep it Simple: You champion the value of simplicity, identifying process improvements and eliminating non-value-added tasks.
