## Short Description

At SPREAD, we help the world’s leading engineering organizations, including Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, BMW, Bosch, and Rheinmetall, master the complexity of software-defined vehicles and products.  
Our data contextualization software transforms complex engineering data into actionable intelligence. With preconfigured applications and AI agents, teams can access the product knowledge they need to bring vehicles and other complex products to market up to t**en times faster, at half the cost, and in better quality**.  
Our technology has been recognized with multiple awards, including the **Handelsblatt & McKinsey SPARK AI Innovation Award 2024**, and SPREAD is proud to be part of the **EU AI Champions Initiative** and ranked among the **LinkedIn Top 20 Startups in DACH**.  
  
**Now we are looking for a Finance & Strategy Manager to join our Founder’s Office.** This is a high-exposure role at the intersection of finance, strategy, and leadership. You will partner directly with the Chief of Staff, shaping the way we steer the company financially and strategically. This is a unique opportunity for ambitious talent to step up into broader ownership and grow into a true leader!

## Your Mission

* Support the design and maintenance of the company’s financial models (P&L, cash flow, SaaS metrics), partnering with the Finance Manager to build forecasting and budgeting discipline.
* Conduct variance analyses and prepare actionable insights for leadership to drive corrective measures.
* Contribute to board and investor materials by preparing KPI dashboards, slides, and supporting commentary.
* Drive cross-functional projects (e.g. cost optimization, process improvement, go-to-market initiatives), ensuring structured planning and delivery.
* Assist in shaping and tracking company OKRs, creating transparency on progress and risks.
* Build analytical deep dives (market, competitors, unit economics) to support strategic decisions.
* Improve reporting and analytics tooling to reduce manual work and increase transparency.
* Serve as a business partner across functions, translating between finance, product, GTM, and engineering stakeholders.
* Take ownership of selected strategic initiatives, with the opportunity to grow into leading full budget cycles, scenario modeling, and investor-facing responsibilities.
* Work closely with the Chief of Staff in a high-exposure Founder’s Office environment, gaining mentorship and direct access to leadership.

## Your Experience

* Master’s degree in Finance, Economics, Business, or a related field from **a top-tier university**.
* 2–4 years’ experience in strategy consulting, investment banking, corporate finance, VC/PE, or scale-up strategy/finance.
* Solid skills in financial modeling and valuation, and early exposure to forecasting or cash planning.
* Strong understanding of business fundamentals and familiarity with SaaS metrics.
* High analytical capability, curiosity, and drive to translate numbers into actionable insights.
* Experience preparing C-level or investor materials (e.g. decks, memoranda, business cases).
* Strong communicator, fluent in English; German proficiency or willingness to progress quickly is a plus.
* Ambition to grow into FP&A leadership: owning forecasts, budgeting cadence, SaaS KPI dashboards, and investor relations support.
* Self-starter with a bias for action; thrives in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment and enjoys cross-functional problem-solving.

## Why SPREAD?

* **Category Creators**: Our Agentic Engineering Intelligence platform connects fragmented hardware and software data into dynamic **Product Twins**. AI agents operate on this foundation to automate compliance checks, dependency analysis, and spec generation — enabling **10× faster time-to-market** and **50% lower lifecycle costs** for OEMs like Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, and Rheinmetall.
* **Industry-Relevant Impact**: Traditional PLM systems hit their limits with software-defined products. At SPREAD, you'll guide leading manufacturers into the AI-driven era of engineering — unlocking millions in savings.
* **High Growth & Ownership**: We’ve grown double digits every year since 2019 — and there’s a greenfield ahead in untapped industries and regions, ready for you to shape.
* **Competitive Package**: Attractive compensation with **bi-annual performance bonus** eligibility, **mobility budget** (e.g. Deutschlandticket), **Urban Sports Club membership**, **30 vacation days**, **workation options**, a **volunteering day**, and a **€1,000 learning budget**.
* **Security & Flexibility**: ISO 27001 and TISAX certified, fully GDPR-compliant, with flexible deployments (cloud or on-prem) and a **hybrid work model** designed to fit your life.
