[Hiring] Finance Business Partner @Pragmatike

Role Description

We're looking for a senior Finance Business Partner who is equally comfortable working with internal operational and commercial teams and engaging directly with end clients. This is not a pure reporting role: you will build the financial models that underpin investment decisions, and you'll be confident presenting and defending ROI directly in front of a client or partner. Experience in a startup or hyper-growth environment, and/or in infrastructure, energy or capex-heavy industries (data centers, industrials, cleantech), is a strong plus. Autonomy, analytical rigor and ease with client-facing communication are essential.

• Act as Finance Business Partner to the commercial, operations and product teams, bringing financial analysis to bear on their key decisions.
• Build and maintain financial simulation models (business plans, unit economics per infrastructure unit, deployment scenarios) to support the company's growth strategy.
• Model and present ROI and TCO of infrastructure deployments directly to clients (cities, institutions, energy producers, enterprises), supporting the commercial team throughout the sales cycle.
• Own monthly financial reporting, profitability analysis by site/unit, and tracking of key performance indicators (margin, cash conversion, payback period).
• Contribute to budgeting and forecasting, and challenge operational assumptions in partnership with business teams.
• Analyze the cost structure of manufacturing and deploying infrastructure units, and identify optimization levers with the industrial/production teams.
• Prepare financial materials for governance bodies (executive committee, board, investors) and support due diligence for fundraising or asset financing.
• Collaborate with finance teams across the group's other operating companies to ensure consistency of models and consolidated reporting.

Qualifications

• Proven senior-level experience in corporate finance, FP&A, or business finance, ideally in a capex-intensive environment (infrastructure, energy, industrials, telecom, data centers).
• Excellent financial modeling skills (advanced Excel, ROI models, NPV/IRR, multi-scenario business plans).
• Demonstrated ability to present and simplify complex financial analysis for non-financial audiences, including clients and partners.
• Solid understanding of the cost and profitability mechanics of physical assets (capex, depreciation, operating costs, recurring revenue).
• Strong analytical skills, structured thinking, and rigor in producing finance deliverables under time pressure.
• Fluent English (mandatory, international working environment); working knowledge of French is a plus.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-growing environment with shifting priorities and limited established process.

Requirements

• Prior experience in AI infrastructure, cloud, data centers, or renewable energy.
• Familiarity with asset financing mechanisms (project finance, leasing, structured financing) applied to industrial equipment.
• Experience in a multi-entity / multi-country environment, with group-level consolidated reporting.
• Interest in BI and reporting automation tools (Power BI, SQL, scripting).
• Prior experience in consulting, investment banking, or private equity, with a focus on infrastructure or the energy transition.

Benefits

• Join a team deploying a tangible technology, modular units operational within months, on an ambitious growth trajectory toward becoming one of the largest distributed infrastructure networks globally.
• Expect real autonomy from day one, direct access to clients and group leadership, and the opportunity to build the financial foundations of a company building something that doesn't exist yet.
