Our Mission For You
Build the financial intelligence layer of a scaling energy-tech company, where your models drive real decisions and your work accelerates the Energiewende.
trawa enables mid-sized companies to access green, intelligent energy. We're growing fast and we need someone who thrives in this environment. As our first dedicated hire in this area, you'll own FP&A. The foundation exists, but there's real room to take ownership, shape, and elevate it across processes, tooling, and strategic initiatives. You'll report to our Finance Lead and work closely with our Founders and Leadership team.
What You'll Own
Reporting & Business Modelling
* Design and own the Financial Reporting Package: consolidate sales, energy, and accounting data into actionable insights
* Support Board & Investor Reporting with data, analyses, and slide content
* Build business cases for strategic projects, e.g. strategic partnerships or new market entry
Planning & Forecasting
* Own rolling forecasts, annual budgets, and 3-5 year strategic plans
* Build and maintain the financial models that enable our growth ambitions
Data & Cross-Functional Collaboration
* Navigate complex, fragmented data from multiple sources (CRM, billing, energy database, DATEV), you make numbers that make sense
* Work closely with our Tech/Data team to understand energy-specific data (pricing, accruals, time series) and translate it into financial metrics
Your First 90 Days
* Month 1: Month 1: Understand our business model, data landscape, and stakeholders. Map data sources, learn our reporting and planning processes and take first ownership of recurring tasks.
* Month 2: Take over core reporting and planning processes. Stabilize what exists, start consolidating data from multiple sources into one coherent package, and identify quick wins for automation and tooling
* Month 3: Co-own the forecast and reporting cycle. Deliver your first actionable insights to the leadership team and start outlining strategic next steps: where should FP&A go next, and how do we get there?

* Financial modeling expert: 3-statement models, budgets, forecasts, scenario planning
* Proven ability to work with complex, fragmented data landscapes, you don't need a perfect ERP to deliver results
