Head of FP&A (UK – Glasgow, Hybrid/Remote)

At Wakam, we are rapidly expanding our operations in the UK, and we're looking for a Head of FP&A to join our dynamic team. Our company is not your typical insurance organization; we're a tech‑driven, innovative company that values performance, agility, and rapid execution. With a challenging workload and a great working atmosphere, we're on a mission to build a robust Finance department in the UK.

This role comes with significant flexibility and the opportunity for remote work, making it an excellent fit for those who thrive in a fast‑paced environment.

• Set up, structure and align the finance activities in the UK with what is being done at our Head Office in France.
• Design, streamline and enhance financial processes, ensuring a seamless integration of the UK’s FP&A function with the Head Office.
• Collaborate with the Head Office to design the UK branch's operating model.
• Produce budget and forecast for the UK perimeter, in collaboration with the headquarters.
• Produce financial reports that support the Head Office and continuously improve the reporting processes, including a deep understanding of reporting issues with local authorities.
• Monitor the UK financial performance from a financial planning and analysis point of view and provide visibility on performance.
• Report directly to the CFO UK and collaborate with the Head Office in a matrix, cross‑functional structure.
• Design a target operating model for running financial operations in a multicultural environment.

• Financial or Chartered Accountancy degree.
• Significant experience in similar responsibilities in a previous role.
• Strong financial planning and analysis expertise.
• Familiarity with the insurance sector is a plus, but can be developed on the job.
• Ability to work cross‑functionally with strong reporting acumen and in‑depth knowledge of financial regulations.
• Attention to detail and meticulous financial practices.
• High degree of rigor and ability to design a target operating model for running financial operations.

• Free to Impact culture:
  Think big, biased for action, curious, eager to learn, say no and find solutions, aim for the moon (but don't stay on the moon).
• Flat hierarchical system and highly collaborative operating model.
• Free.day every last Friday of the month – a day without meetings to focus on skill development or other activities.
• Full‑remote flexibility; even a team member works from a sailing boat.
• Positive energy, agility, and team spirit essential to support Wakam in its hyper‑growth.
