Job Description

Are you a strategic finance leader who thrives in a fast-paced, high-impact environment? Do you excel in business partnering beyond just financial reporting—helping drive commercial decisions, influencing senior stakeholders, and rolling up your sleeves to tackle complex challenges?

If so, we at substance want to talk to you for our SaaS client.

Reporting to the VP Finance and Corporate Strategy, this role requires you to engage and influence senior demanding stakeholders across different business group.

What You’ll Do

  • Partner with C-level executives & senior stakeholders to shape business strategy, ensuring financial insights drive commercial success.
  • Serve as the trusted finance advisor, challenging the status quo and driving data-backed decision-making across functions.
  • Go beyond the numbers—work closely with teams to improve operational efficiencies, cost structures, and profitability.
  • Lead financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting, ensuring alignment with business goals.
  • Develop robust financial models that provide clarity and actionable insights for high-impact business decisions.
  • Navigate ambiguity with confidence, proactively identifying risks and opportunities.

What We’re Looking For

  • A highly visible role with direct impact on business decisions.
  • Work with top-tier leadership in a dynamic, fast-moving company.
  • The opportunity to shape financial strategy and make a real difference.

Requirements

    • 10+ years of experience in finance, with a strong background in finance business partnering, FP&A, or commercial finance (this is not a financial controllership).
    • Proven ability to engage and influence demanding senior stakeholders, including C-suite executives.
    • A hands-on, solutions-driven mindset—you don’t just report numbers; you use them to drive change.
    • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate data into strategic insights.
    • Exceptional stakeholder management—knowing when to challenge and when to collaborate.
    • Experience in fast-paced, high-growth environments is a plus.

Benefits

At Substance, we believe in genuine connections, not just filling roles. If your profile is a strong match, you’ll hear from us within 1-2 weeks. If not, no empty promises—just know we appreciate your interest, and we’ll keep you in mind for future opportunities where you can truly make an impact. Our focus is on building meaningful partnerships, so when the right role comes along, we’ll be ready to make it count.

About substance

At Substance, we work with businesses that:

★ Value quality over quick fixes

★ See hiring as strategy, not just seat-filling

★ Want honest, grounded, no-nonsense recruitment built on non-transactional partnerships and trust

We are recruiters with real experience — in-house, agency, and RPO. We’ve led hiring for global brands like Booking.com, MBCC (a BASF spin-off), GoJek, Microsoft, Foodpanda, and more. From building pipelines and localizing employer brands in tough markets like China, Korea, and Japan, to working at LinkedIn where we trained recruiters to master the platform and helped employers revamp their branding strategies — we bring real-world expertise, not empty promises.

What makes us different:

★ We work as your extended team not just recruitment partner

★ Real recruiters, not platforms

★ Clear pricing — no hidden fees, no vague promises

★ Move faster, without sacrificing quality

★ Access remote, global, and flexible talent pools

We don’t waste your time — or the candidate’s. If the talent isn’t right, we’ll say so. If your role is broken, we’ll help fix it. Fair, transparent, and grounded in reality.

Hiring should have substance. That’s exactly what we bring.
