**About Allocator One**

Allocator One operates a unique fund model designed to invest in the most promising first-time fund managers worldwide while optimizing fees. We serve as the anchor investor of choice for exceptional emerging managers, providing unrivaled access, expertise, and operational support. Within twelve months of launch, we received 600+ applications, reflecting our commitment to nurturing new talent. Beyond investing, we act as a co-builder, integrating managers into our Allocator One program—often described as the “Y Combinator for capital allocators”—with essential support in regulation, administration, and structuring. Our regulated AIFM entity in Austria under FMA oversight (Allocator One Management GmbH) enables institutional-grade governance and reporting.

**Our founding partners**

*   Felix Staeritz – Founder of FoundersLane (corporate venture builder), active VC/PE investor; board/advisory roles including the World Economic Forum (WEF) and Fraunhofer.
*   Michael Ströck – Entrepreneur with multiple exits, Y Combinator alumnus, investor instrumental in establishing three VC funds; part of a third-generation family business.

## Tasks

**Responsibilities:**

**Group leadership and governance:**

*   Own the group finance agenda across all Allocator One legal entities: budgeting, rolling forecasts, consolidation, reporting, treasury, and internal controls.
*   Design and run the annual budget and monthly/quarterly forecasting cadence; establish KPI trees and targets at entity and group level (P&L, cash flow, balance sheet).
*   Deliver a monthly management information (MI) pack and board reporting with variance analysis, scenario planning, and risk/opportunity tracking; drive corrective actions with owners.
*   Lead timely consolidation (monthly/quarterly/year-end), including intercompany eliminations and reconciliations under IFRS (UGB familiarity appreciated).
*   Set and maintain group accounting policies, a consistent chart of accounts, and a strong control environment; coordinate external audit.

**Controlling, planning, and cash:**

*   Run month-end close governance across entities; own intercompany processes (cross-charging, transfer-pricing workflows with tax advisors) and balance-sheet integrity.
*   Build driver-based models for headcount, opex, capex, and revenue; quantify sensitivities and trade-offs for leadership.
*   Oversee cash & treasury (liquidity, runway, covenant dashboards) and capital allocation at group level.
*   Coordinate statutory filings with local accountants; manage relationships with auditors, tax advisors, banks, and key vendors.

**Systems and automation:**

*   Own the finance systems roadmap (ERP, consolidation, planning, BI); champion data model integrity and one source of truth.
*   Partner with software engineering to automate data flows (close, consolidation, planning, reporting), build self-serve dashboards, and reduce time-to-insight.
*   Define data contracts and SLAs with upstream teams (fund finance/AIFM, portfolio, people ops) to ensure timeliness and quality.

**Collaboration within Allocator One:**

*   Work closely with our Head of Fund Finance & regional directors on interfaces between group controlling and fund accounting (e.g., timelines, definitions, reporting standards, etc.).
*   Provide finance business partnering to founders and function leads; translate numbers into action.

## Requirements

**Qualifications:**

*   Degree in finance, accounting, economics, or related field; CPA/ACCA/CIMA (or Austrian equivalents) is a plus.

*   Hands-on IFRS consolidation experience (intercompany, eliminations, FX, cash-flow statements); UGB knowledge advantageous.
*   Proven track record running budgeting/forecasting cycles and producing executive MI/board packs with sharp variance analysis.
*   Systems fluency across ERP, consolidation, planning, and BI; experience implementing or upgrading finance stacks.
*   Comfortable collaborating with software engineers on automation and data pipelines.
*   Excellent stakeholder management; concise communication in English (German a plus).

## Benefits

**Culture and how we work:**

*   Co-builder mindset: We operate as a partner to emerging managers and to each other—hands-on, pragmatic, and outcome-driven (“Y Combinator for capital allocators”).
*   High standards, low ego: A culture free of arrogance; direct feedback, clear ownership, and high agency.
