About Marktplaats
Marktplaats is one of the Netherlands' leading online marketplaces, helping make commerce more sustainable by giving products an extended life. With over 2.1 million buyers and sellers visiting our platform every day, around 350,000 new listings added daily and users spending an average of 22 minutes per visit, we're building a platform that people use and trust. Every connection we enable helps people save money, earn money and reduce waste. As part of Adevinta, one of Europe's leading online classifieds groups, we're building products that make buying and selling second-hand products simpler, safer and better for everyone.
This role sits within our Finance function in our Amsterdam office, home to over 300 talented professionals, where cross-functional teams design, develop and scale the products that millions of users rely on every day across our Benelux marketplaces, Marktplaats and 2dehands/2ememain.
You will join our FP&A team, reporting to the Head of FP&A and partnering with business leaders, the business analytics team, the CFO and Controlling team to plan, track and steer the financial performance of our Benelux marketplaces. We turn numbers into clear, decision-ready stories that help the business move with pace and focus.
What You Will Do
The challenge: Creating one version of the truth across FP&A and the wider organisation, with consistent definitions, KPIs and reporting, while scaling our impact as a lean team by reducing manual work and keeping planning and forecasting robust as the business evolves.
Who You Are
This role is based out of our Amsterdam office. While we offer flexibility, we value in-person collaboration and encourage our teams to spend regular time in the office.
