Celonis, a global leader in Process Intelligence and Process Mining technology, is seeking a Finance Business Partner to join its Finance department in Madrid on a hybrid basis. Reporting directly to the VP of GTM Finance, you will serve as a strategic financial advisor and dedicated partner to executive leaders across Go-To-Market organizations including Services, Customer Success, Marketing, and Partner Ecosystems.
In this role, you will transcend traditional FP&A and budget tracking to act as a strategic advisor at the intersection of growth strategy and financial discipline. You will serve as the primary financial co-pilot to GTM executives, taking ownership of financial modeling, capacity planning, and operational metrics for aligned departments. Your responsibilities include leading annual budgeting and rolling forecasting cycles for headcount, discretionary program spend, and variable compensation; evaluating financial impact, efficiency, and ROI of headcount additions and GTM investments; and building sophisticated capacity, utilization, and productivity models to ensure hiring aligns with sales pipeline and business goals.
You will define, track, and analyze critical B2B SaaS metrics and operational data to optimize margins and financial performance. You'll lead quarterly reviews with GTM executives, develop executive-level dashboards providing real-time visibility, and establish financial frameworks for complex programs such as commercial partner agreements and revenue recognition. Your role requires exceptional data storytelling to distill complex datasets into clear executive narratives and the ability to constructively challenge senior leadership using objective data.
Required qualifications include 8+ years in FP&A, strategic finance, or corporate finance; 5+ years supporting GTM organizations at B2B SaaS or technology companies; 5+ years working with executive leadership to align operations with financial impacts; and a Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a quantitative field (MBA or CFA preferred). You must demonstrate deep understanding of B2B SaaS unit economics, advanced Excel and financial modeling skills, hands-on experience with enterprise tools (Pigment, Salesforce, Workday, Adaptive Insights, Tableau, PowerBI), and proven ability to navigate ambiguity in high-growth environments.
