The Opportunity

The Strategic Finance, Planning & Analysis team drives financial performance management across Prosus's global ecosystems - partnering with operating companies and Group Finance to ensure targets are met and capital is deployed effectively. The EU ecosystem team sits at the centre of Prosus's ambition to build a leading lifestyle e-commerce platform in Europe, and this Director role is the financial engine behind that ambition.

You'll own the full Strategic FP&A function for Prosus's European portfolio, managing the annual budgeting, planning, and forecasting cycle across a multi-entity, multi-country ecosystem, and leading the operating cadences that keep business unit CFOs, ecosystem leads, and Group Finance aligned. Within your first 60 days, you'll have established a working rhythm with every BU and minority investment finance team in the region. Within your first quarter, you'll hold full ownership of the EU ecosystem budgeting and forecasting cycle.

This is an active moment for the portfolio. M&A and divestiture activity is ongoing, and you'll be a direct contributor to at least one strategic transaction within your first year, not as a reviewer, but as a hands-on partner to the ecosystem leads driving those decisions. The team you'll lead is five to six direct reports; developing their capabilities and raising the bar on finance practice across the BU finance teams is as much a part of the role as the numbers themselves.

This isn't a reporting function. This is financial leadership for one of Prosus's most strategically significant regions.

Who You Are

You think in systems and act with precision. You're comfortable holding the full picture of a complex, multi-entity portfolio while also rolling up your sleeves on the analysis that makes a business case credible or a forecast defensible. Ambiguity doesn't slow you down - you move forward with the information available, surface the brutal facts clearly, and adjust as the picture sharpens.

You've built trust with senior stakeholders before - CFOs, business leads, Group Finance counterparts, not just by managing up but by being the person in the room who brings clarity. You give direct, evidence-based points of view and create space for the people around you to do the same. You care about the growth of your team as much as the quality of the output, and you understand that both are how a finance function earns its seat at the table.

What You Bring

- Deep experience in finance or FP&A at group or multi-entity level, with a background in digital economy, e-commerce, consumer internet, or a closely adjacent sector

- Proven ability to lead end-to-end budgeting, forecasting, and planning cycles across complex, matrixed organisations - coordinating multiple finance teams toward a single, coherent view

- Hands-on track record analysing financial statements, business cases, and performance data to surface actionable insight for senior decision-makers

- Comfortable partnering directly with business unit CFOs and ecosystem leads on strategic projects including M&A, divestiture, and performance benchmarking with the credibility to challenge and the judgement to know when to align

- Experience managing and developing a finance team, with a genuine investment in building capability at every level

- Fluent English communication, written and spoken, with the ability to translate financial complexity into clear, concise narratives for diverse audiences

- Familiarity with Group Finance functions (tax, treasury, reporting, consolidation) and how a finance function at this level interfaces with each

- Experience with Hyperion or OneStream is a plus

- Background in minority investment oversight or portfolio company finance is a plus

- Exposure to multi-country or cross-border finance environments in Europe is a plus

Your Typical Day

Your day might begin with a performance review call with a business unit CFO - working through the latest actuals, flagging variances, and agreeing on the narrative before it reaches Group Finance. From there, you're likely in the detail: a forecast model that needs stress-testing, a business case for a potential acquisition, or a consolidation question that cuts across tax, treasury, and reporting.

Throughout the day, your team is moving in parallel - running analyses, preparing materials, coordinating with BU finance counterparts across the EU. You check in, unblock, and give direct feedback. By afternoon, you might be in a working session with an ecosystem lead on a live strategic project, or preparing the ecosystem performance summary that feeds into the Group FP&A cycle.
