About the Role

We are looking for an FP&A Manager to support Corporate FP&A, performance management, and business partnering across Nscale’s global functions and strategic initiatives. Based in the US, the role will work closely with senior stakeholders across multiple locations and with the FP&A leadership team to improve decision-making, financial discipline, planning cycles, and forecast accuracy in a fast-scaling global business.

This is a high-ownership role rather than a pure reporting or consolidation position. You will take responsibility for planning, forecasting, performance insight, and business partnering across an evolving portfolio, with scope adjusted over time to reflect business priorities, team structure, and individual strengths.

The successful candidate will partner with senior functional leaders, contribute to executive and Board reporting, and lead or support high-priority cross-functional projects, including process and systems improvement, investment cases, post-acquisition integration, and other strategic initiatives.

This is an ideal opportunity for a commercially minded finance professional to take ownership in a high-growth environment. You will combine strong financial fundamentals with curiosity and a proactive mindset to help shape business performance in a fast-scaling environment.

What You'll Do

Planning, Forecasting & Decision Support

• Budget & Forecast Ownership: Own the budget and rolling forecast for an agreed portfolio of functions, including headcount, non-payroll costs, commitments, and key investment decisions.
• Financial Modeling: Develop driver-based models and scenarios that support management decisions.
• Proactive Risk Management: Challenge assumptions constructively and identify risks, opportunities, and actions early.

Business Partnering

• Strategic Collaboration: Act as the primary finance partner to senior functional leaders, creating trusted relationships by providing commercial insight and constructive challenge.
• Resource Allocation: Support decisions on resourcing, supplier commitments, operating expenditure, and investment priorities, with clear articulation of trade-offs and financial consequences.
• Financial Governance: Help strengthen financial discipline and accountability across the business, including purchase-order governance, cost ownership, and forecast accuracy.

Performance Reporting & Insight

• Performance Analysis: Lead monthly performance reporting for the portfolio, providing concise narrative on performance, drivers, forecast movements, decisions required, and forward-looking risks.
• KPI Frameworks: Support the development of KPIs and performance tracking frameworks.

Strategic Finance, Data & Process Improvement

• Cross-Functional Initiatives: Support high-priority cross-functional projects, which may include planning-process design, finance systems and reporting improvements, integration, and cost optimisation initiatives.
• Data Usability: Improve the quality, structure, and usability of FP&A data across relevant systems and reporting tools, working effectively where data and processes are still evolving.
• Scalable Operations: Establish scalable, pragmatic processes that reduce manual work while retaining appropriate financial control.
