Cleo is a profitable, fast‑growing unicorn with over $200 million in ARR and 2× year‑over‑year growth. We have an exceptionally high bar for talent and a culture of collaboration and positive impact. About The Role We’re hiring a Data Analytics Lead – Strategic Finance (FP&A). This is a high‑impact role at the intersection of finance, data, and strategy. Reporting to the Director of Strategic Finance, you’ll build insight delivery systems, models, and automations that power decision‑making across FP&A and long‑term financial strategy. You’ll work closely with Product, Data, Engineering, and the CEO’s office, turning data into actionable insights that accelerate decision‑making at every level of the business. What You’ll Be Doing Build predictive models and decision‑support tools driving our financial statements – from revenue, gross profit, operating costs, and cashflow. Turn one‑off strategic analyses into scalable, self‑serve tools – powering decision‑making across scenario planning, LTV modelling, cohort analysis, pricing, and capital allocation. Work cross‑functionally with Data, Product, and Engineering to define and maintain data models that power executive‑level insight and operational decisioning. Automate recurring finance workflows such as investor reporting, covenant tracking, performance pacing, and financial close tasks. Create intelligent, automated reporting workflows for financial and operational metrics – think trading updates, forecast variance analysis, board KPIs, and more. Own the architecture for insight delivery – dashboards, semantic layers, and data pipelines that serve as the foundation for financial and strategic reporting. Act as the technical bridge within Strategic Finance, enabling faster, smarter decisions through automation, intelligent tooling, and scalable systems. Champion data governance and documentation to ensure consistency, trust, and clarity across all internal and external reporting. What We’re Looking For 7+ years in data analytics, BI engineering, analytics engineering, or hybrid data/finance roles, ideally in a high‑growth, product‑led company. Experience developing and owning predictive modelling systems at a company level. Ability to communicate analytical insights with influence at senior forums – experience guiding internal decision‑making at executive level. Hands‑on experience with BI tools (Looker, Mode, Tableau, Superset) and data workflow tools (dbt, Airflow). Strong grasp of financial and operational metrics – ideally having worked closely with FP&A, Strategic Finance, or similar teams. A builder mindset: bias for automation, ownership, and delivering value fast. Interest in fintech and Cleo’s mission to make money easier and more human. Nice to Have Prior experience automating or supporting investor‑facing reporting or board materials. Experience working in environments with a blend of consumer tech and financial services (AI, lending, credit, payments). What Do You Get for Your Hard Work?
