YOUR MISSION

At Glovo, we are looking for a passionate, strategic Sr. Lead FCF planning to join our Finance Performance department at our Barcelona headquarters. Reporting directly to the Head of FP&A / Finance Performance Director, you will own the global Free Cash Flow planning ecosystem across 21+ markets, translating complex multi-entity P&L and Balance Sheet dynamics into trusted, forward-looking cash forecasts. Over the next 12–18 months, your mission is to transform our spreadsheet-based FCF modeling architecture into a highly accurate, driver-based forecasting engine, partner with C-level leadership on strategic capital allocation, and drive proactive working capital initiatives to safeguard liquidity and fund expansion—all while acting as the functional manager and technical mentor for our FCF Sr. Analyst.

• Act as the practical manager and mentor for the FCF Sr. Analyst, reviewing their analytical outputs, guiding their professional development, and establishing robust operational redundancy during critical forecasting and closing cycles.

• Drive proactive liquidity optimization initiatives (partnering with Accounting, Treasury, Tax, and local operations to unlock cash pipelines).

• Act as the primary bridge to local Finance teams to capture, challenge, and refine country-level operational inputs; drive a unified FCF forecasting methodology by benchmarking regional models, scaling best practices, and implementing standardized driver-based templates across all entities.

• Serve as the primary finance counterpart for Delivery Hero (DH) Group on all FCF, liquidity, and cash projections; ensure seamless alignment on corporate methodology, reporting standards, and strategic cash flow inputs for group-level consolidation.

• Serve as the primary operational bridge and strategic partner between FP&A, Treasury, Tax, and Delivery Hero central finance, constructively challenging operational assumptions and presenting FCF risks/sensitivity scenarios directly to C-level executives.

• Design robust simulation models to stress-test the FCF impact of major corporate or business decisions.
