Finance Manager

Overview:

We are looking for a Finance Manager to join SOFTSWISS and support a strategically important area of the business.

This role will operate within SOFTSWISS's broader finance ecosystem, with close collaboration and support from Treasury, FP&A, Finance Infrastructure, and other CFO office functions.

Purpose of the role:

This role is designed for a highly independent and commercially minded finance professional who can combine strategic finance leadership with hands-on execution.

You will be responsible for managing and developing the financial framework of the business direction — including management accounting, budgeting, reporting, treasury coordination, unit economics, and business partnership.

This position requires strong analytical capabilities, financial planning expertise, and close cross-functional collaboration with operational and commercial teams.

The ideal candidate will act as a key finance partner, ensuring transparency, scalability, and sustainable profitability of the business.

Key responsibilities:

Management Accounting

• Build and maintain the full P&L structure of the business direction, including revenue streams, direct costs, and overheads
• Develop methodologies for cost allocation across traffic channels, campaigns, and projects
• Establish robust control over advertising budgets across multiple platforms, accounts, and traffic sources
• Own unit economics analysis by traffic source, including CPA, ROAS, LTV, and profitability metrics
• Integrate the business unit’s financial data into group-wide management accounting systems

Reporting, Analytics & Financial Control

• Prepare regular financial reporting for Head of Performance Marketing and CFO, including P&L, cash flow, and key business KPIs
• Ensure reconciliation between finance data and operational / marketing analytics
• Conduct budget vs actual variance analysis across financial and performance metrics
• Develop financial templates, dashboards, and tools for operational decision-making
• Participate in regular business reviews, providing financial performance insights and recommendations

Budgeting, Treasury & Financial Operations

• Plan weekly and monthly budget requirements for traffic acquisition activities
• Coordinate closely with Treasury on funding requests, budget limits, and liquidity control
• Manage financial flows related to B2B traffic resale to casino operators
• Monitor payment, currency, and operational risks across multi-currency advertising accounts and platforms

Strategic Business Partnership

• Provide pre-launch financial expertise for campaign planning, including ROI and profitability assessments
• Support pricing strategy development for B2B traffic resale products
• Collaborate with Finance Infrastructure Team to automate workflows and improve financial processes
• Participate in scaling and developing the finance function as the business direction grows

Required Experience:

• Degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or a related field
• 3+ years of experience in finance, management accounting, FP&A, or financial controlling within performance-driven, digital, or traffic-based business environments
• Strong understanding of traffic-driven business models, including how traffic economics operate, where value is created, how monetization works, and how profitability is distributed across channels, products, and partners
• Proven ability to act as a strategic finance business partner, contributing to commercial and operational decision-making rather than functioning solely as a support role
• Strong expertise in management accounting, including P&L ownership, budgeting, financial modeling, cash flow planning, and financial control
• Experience with unit economics analysis, including profitability drivers, margin structures, and business performance evaluation
• Advanced Excel and/or Google Sheets skills
• Experience in budget control, plan vs actual analysis, and financial reporting
