🚀 Be part of a movement to change the way Europe pays

In today’s digital world, payments often still feel outdated: random delays and confusing rules make it harder than it should be to pay and get paid. The European Payments Initiative (EPI) is here to change all that, forever.

With Wero, our digital wallet, we make sending and receiving money simple, seamless and secure across France, Belgium and Germany, with more countries and omnichannel solutions coming soon. Supported by 14 major banks and the two largest European acquirers, EPI is building a new, proudly European payment system: easy, instant and transparent, all for the greater good.

🔎 What's in it for you

Tired of delivering strategic notes and proposals without knowing how your recommendations will be implemented? Would you like to become a driving force behind something bigger and bring your recommendations to life? Would you like to have a tangible impact on a truly innovative large scale European payment solution? This job might be a perfect fit for you.

🐝 About the team

You will be part of the Finance team, including people who joined the EPI adventure at the beginning and other coming from Payconiq, company which recently merged with EPI. Half of the 15 team members are senior contributors or managers with a rich expertise. Benno, the CFO, himself has more than 20 years of experience, including 14 as a Finance Manager, Director or Chief. Team members are located in the Netherlands, Spain, Germany and Belgium, and other EPI colleagues all around Europe.

💥 Your impact

As the right arm of the CFO, you will:

• Be the catalyst of the Finance team activity: coordinating your colleagues on specific missions, serving as subject matter expert, handling inquiries, defining priorities
• Play a key role in the preparation and facilitation of some key governance meetings (e.g. Board of Directors, Finance Committee, Management/Executive Meetings...) by gathering key inputs, building top-notch presentations to aid decision-making and following up closely on key takeaways. You may also be invited to present during some of these meetings
• Heavily contribute to our increasing needs of complex financial analysis & models, to convert data into insights
• Participate in our M&A follow-up
  

✅ If you had joined us last month, here’s what you could have done

• Participated driving in the automation of the Procure-to-Pay process involving Finance, HR and the Legal team
• Assisted in modelling three forward-looking models for capacity and financial planning over the next three years
• Participated in weekly-touchpoints with CEO and other key Group Management meeting members
• Coordinated key day-to-day matters involving the CFO’s contribution across the group
  

🕵🏻‍♀️ To succeed, you should meet at least 70% of these requirements

• You are fluent in English (CEFR C1 or C2)
• You have at least 3 years’ experience in strategy consulting (experience in payments would be highly considered) or in the Financial planning and analysis or similar department of a bank or insurance company
• You already built Target Operating Models or were involved in due diligence/M&A process
• You have Financial Reporting and/or modelling experience linked to Company corporate reporting
• You can demonstrate impressive skills in Excel and PowerPoint.

• You can demonstrate strong autonomy and vigilance to address emerging topics and challenges
• You are able to quickly understand difficult topics in detail, while being structured and data oriented
• You are able to thrive in a largely remote and multicultural working environment
  

  🪜 If this looks like you, the recruitment steps are:

1. A first call with one of our recruiters
2. An interview with Benno, the hiring manager, focused on the mission and your expertise, including a home assignment presentation
3. An interview with a future colleague, focused on our company skills
4. Hopefully, an offer you can’t refuse
   
   

⛔ Turn back if …

If you thrive only in well processed and resourceful environments, EPI is probably not for you. We are a solidly backed yet young start-up with high and innovative ambitions on a very complex, regulated and competitive market: you will need autonomy, be used to ambiguity, and not be afraid to get your hands dirty.

Otherwise apply!
