About the team

As part of the staff team, you will report directly to our CEO and COO. This high‑exposure seat intersects the CEO office, finance, strategy, investor relations, M&A, and business operations.

About the role

This intentionally broad position is designed for someone who wants to understand how a company is run end‑to‑end – from board and investor communication to budgeting, M&A, performance management, and operational execution. Over time, it can become a platform for broader leadership responsibilities.

Responsibilities

• Act as a close partner to the CEO on high‑priority topics: prepare strategic memos, decision documents, and executive presentations; support CEO‑level prioritization and follow‑up; help prepare leadership meetings, board meetings, and investor updates; coordinate cross‑functional projects across finance, sales, product, customer success, legal and operations; translate strategy into clear operating priorities; identify bottlenecks, risks and execution gaps; and support sensitive, confidential initiatives.
• Strengthen Greenly's KPI architecture: translate the annual budget into operational KPIs; improve business planning and scenario analysis; help define the trajectory across growth, profitability and cash; track key indicators such as ARR, bookings, churn, NRR, gross margin, burn, runway and sales efficiency; help leadership understand the financial implications of their decisions; and strengthen budget ownership across teams.
• Support Greenly's corporate development agenda in a consolidating market: analyse acquisition, merger and partnership opportunities; build investment cases; prepare valuation and synergy analyses; support due diligence; work with investors, lawyers, bankers and advisors; prepare board materials for transactions; and help design and track post‑merger integration and value creation.
• Help prepare board decks, investor updates, financing and lender/banking materials, strategic financial narratives and performance reviews – communicating Greenly's performance, strategy and trajectory with clarity, rigor and credibility.
• Improve management reporting and CEO/leadership dashboards; track budget vs. actuals; analyse performance by segment, geography, product or team; identify productivity and margin opportunities; clarify KPI ownership; support bonus and incentive calculations; and improve recurring business reviews.

Qualifications

• 4–8 years of experience in investment banking, strategy consulting, private equity, a CFO office, or strategic finance in a SaaS/B2B software company.
• Strong project management skills – able to drive complex, cross‑functional projects end‑to‑end.
• Excellent analytical and financial modelling ability with a solid understanding of corporate finance.
• Bilingual: at least C1 in both English and French.

• Strong written and verbal communication, able to simplify complex issues.
• Strong ownership and reliability, comfortable with ambiguity and imperfect data.
• Structured, rigorous, analytical, business‑oriented, ambitious but humble, pragmatic and hands‑on.
• Interested in company‑building, not just analysis, with ambition to grow into a senior finance or corporate leadership role.
