inDrive is seeking a Senior FP&A Specialist to serve as a strategic finance partner to business units and support data-driven decision-making across the organization.
You will work directly with department heads throughout the full lifecycle of their initiatives—from concept through budget approval to post-launch review. Your responsibilities include:
• Act as the finance business partner for assigned departments, translating their operational roadmaps and strategic plans into financial outcomes
• Participate in department planning discussions and business reviews as the finance voice, challenging business assumptions and proposing alternatives when numbers don't support plans
• Own the annual budgeting process: collect and validate department inputs, consolidate into the company budget, and ensure data accuracy and completeness
• Run the monthly forecasting cycle, updating actuals outlook and flagging variances to the full-year plan early
• Build and maintain long-term financial models with five-year forecast horizons, including scenario and sensitivity analysis
• Develop business cases for department projects, calculating unit economics, ROI, payback periods, and break-even analysis
• Define and track financial KPIs for department projects against original business case assumptions
• Explain variances between plan and actuals in business terms and their full-year implications
• Prepare management reporting and financial performance presentations for leadership reviews, owning the accuracy of all numbers
• Reconcile financial data across sources for consistency
• Automate the budgeting process and build self-serve reporting tools so departments can track budgets independently between planning cycles
• Provide departments with financial context and trade-off analysis to prioritize competing initiatives
Requirements:
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or related field
• Proven experience as an FP&A Specialist, Finance Business Partner, or similar role, with direct partnering experience with non-finance departments (not just report preparation)
• Strong understanding of budgeting, financial forecasting, and variance analysis
• Experience building long-term financial models and project business cases; confident use of financial modeling and reporting tools
• Excellent analytical skills and attention to detail
• Proactive approach: identify issues early and propose solutions
• Ability to hold positions in discussions with non-finance stakeholders, supported by analysis
• Experience using AI tools to build reports, dashboards, and increase personal productivity
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and PowerPoint (or Google Sheets and Google Presentation)
• Experience with budgeting software and ERP systems is a plus; hands-on experience with Workday Adaptive Planning is a strong advantage
• Strong organizational and time management skills
