Dodo Brands is looking for a Retail Business Financial Partner.
They are seeking a leader to head the group's financial analytics during a large-scale transformation. The goal is to move away from manual calculations in Google Sheets to a unified analytical engine based on Optimacros and a transparent, manageable financial model for the business.
This is a business partner role that keeps the economy under control, helps leaders make decisions, and sees the real reasons and consequences behind the numbers. It's important to understand that the company has about 250 P&Ls, a complex group structure, and many different businesses: IT, franchising, and owned retail.
Candidate Expectations:
- At least 4 years of business experience, 2–3 years in similar roles
- Understanding of franchising business economics (or willingness to learn) and the specifics of IT companies
- Experience with spreadsheet models and management financial analytics is mandatory
- Ability to speak the language of business and see the reasons behind the numbers
- Product-oriented approach in their work and ability to build relationships
- Readiness for chaos and rapid change: for example, the structure might change once a year, and if tactics aren't working, they might be thoroughly reviewed mid-year
- Willingness to be a player-coach in the team and develop subordinates
Your responsibilities will include:
- Being a business partner for business leaders: not just a spreadsheet manager, but a partner who keeps the economy under control, timely signaling risks and assessing the impact on PL and CFS
- Developing the forecasting system: continuing the transition from traditional budgeting to rolling forecasts, what-if analysis, and scenario analysis, working with top-down forecasts and tracking the group's long-term financial model
- Managing allocations: developing a model for allocating costs between products and businesses, explaining the logic of allocations to stakeholders in simple and clear terms
- Collaborating with the HR team to create a dynamic payroll model where changes in backlogs and teams are quickly reflected in the forecast
- Automating routine tasks based on Optimacros: continuing migration from Google Sheets for monthly c-level reports, forecasting, and budgeting
- Managing and developing a team of financial business partners
The company offers:
- Work in a global company with ambitious goals and large-scale tasks
- A culture of freedom and responsibility. We value those who are ready to make decisions and take responsibility for them
- Transparent conditions. Competitive salary, opportunities for growth and development
- Hybrid work format from Moscow
- Paid training. Courses, conferences, specialized literature, and co-financing for English at Skyeng
- Employee care. Voluntary medical insurance from day one, including dental care, and mental health support through Alter
