🧰 Who We Are

Wakam is a B2B2C digital insurer, creating white-label and embedded insurance solutions for 80+ partners across Europe. With operations in 32 countries, we are pioneering a transparent, tech-driven and mission-led approach to insurance.

We’re transforming not only the insurance experience for our partners and their customers, but also the way we work internally. We foster a culture of autonomy, ownership, and impact, supported by modern tools, AI, and data. Our People and Finance teams work hand in hand to create an environment where everyone can thrive, grow, and experiment.

🚀 About the Team

You’ll join our FP&A France team, at the heart of strategic decision-making. The team’s mission is to:

• Provide clear, forward-looking financial insights to Executive Management and operational leaders.
• Ensure robust, consistent financial steering across multiple entities and geographies.
• Drive continuous improvement, automation, and professionalization of our controlling and planning processes.

As our new FP&A Lead Reporting, Forecasting & Transformation you will report directly to the Head of FP&A and work closely with Accounting, Cash, Group Finance, and business leaders. This is a highly visible role with exposure to C‑level stakeholders and cross-functional projects.

🎯 Your Mission

Your mission is to provide reliable, insightful, and actionable financial steering across Wakam's French perimeter, while contributing to the transformation of the FP&A function.

You will be a key contributor to monthly reporting, quarterly closings, budgets, and forecasts, with a particular focus on multi-entity consolidation, Balance Sheet and Cash forecasting, and the professionalization of our tools and processes, including acting as Product Owner of Pigment for the entire Wakam scope.

Multi-Entity Consolidation, Balance Sheet & Cash Forecasting

You will:

• Centralize, review, and consolidate financial data from various stakeholders for the French entities (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Plan & operational KPIs).
• Produce consolidated analyses in coordination with the team and propose optimization levers.
• Build and maintain forward-looking Balance Sheet projections across the French entities, modelling key drivers (technical reserves, receivables/payables, intragroup positions, equity movements) and ensuring consistency with P&L and operational assumptions.
• Steer multi-entity Cash Forecasts (short and medium term) across the French perimeter, anticipating liquidity needs, intragroup flows, and funding requirements.
• Run scenario analyses and sensitivity testing on P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash trajectories, in support of strategic decision-making and Group Finance discussions.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of data collection and financial reporting processes to enhance quality, speed, and reliability.

Continuous Improvement & Tools

You will be a driver of the FP&A function's transformation, in close coordination with the broader Finance Transformation roadmap. Concretely, you will:

• Lead and co-steer transformation initiatives to professionalize and scale the controlling function (reporting, closing, planning, forecasting), in close partnership with Finance Transformation, Data, and IT — ensuring alignment of roadmaps, deployments, tools, data models, and business needs.
• Act as the Product Owner of Pigment for the entire Wakam scope — owning the vision, roadmap, backlog, model design, deployment, adoption, and editor relationship across FP&A, Accounting, Cash, Group Finance, and business stakeholders.
• Act as a business owner of the wider FP&A tooling stack (AI, Sage etc.), leveraging it to industrialize processes, eliminate manual work, and unlock new analytical capabilities.
• Identify and prioritize automation & AI opportunities (variance commentary, scenario modelling, consolidation, management reporting) and turn them into concrete, measurable wins.

🧠 What You Bring

You bring a strong financial and analytical toolkit, ideally in a multi-entity or group context:

• Experience in Financial Planning & Analysis, controlling, or similar roles, preferably at group or multi-entity level.
• Solid experience with P&L analysis, budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis.
• Proven ability to consolidate and interpret complex financial data, turning it into clear insights and recommendations.
• Advanced Excel skills and strong command of financial tools and systems.
• Experience with Pigment is a plus.
• Experience in the insurance sector is an advantage, but not mandatory.
• Fluency in English (written and spoken); other European languages are a plus.

✨ Who You Are

Beyond your technical skills, you are a trusted business partner and a strong communicator:

• You have exceptional analytical and synthesis skills, and can make complex financial topics understandable for non‑finance stakeholders.
• You are comfortable challenging management and C‑level stakeholders constructively, backing your views with data and insight.
• You are autonomous, structured, and reliable, able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, international environment.
• You are curious and proactive, always looking for ways to improve processes, tools, and collaboration.
• You enjoy working in cross-functional, multicultural teams and value transparency and open feedback.

✨ AI

At Wakam, AI and automation are transforming the finance and insurance experience.

For this role, we’re looking for teammates who are eager to use AI tools to:

• Streamline recurring tasks such as data consolidation, variance comments, and management presentations.
• Automate and industrialize reporting and forecasting workflows.
• Enrich analysis and decision-making through smarter data exploration, scenario modelling, and benchmarking.

You don’t need to be a technical expert—what matters most is your adaptability, curiosity, and willingness to learn. We will support your upskilling on AI and digital tools, so you can focus your time on high-value analysis and help build the transparent, high-impact finance function of tomorrow.
