FP&A Associate at Nivoda

Location: Stockholm, London, or Remote EU Function: Finance / FP&A Employment type: Full-time Reporting Line: Finance, working closely with the CFO, FP&A Lead and Accounting, as well as our Go-to-Market- and EPD leadership. ABOUT THE COMPANY We are a fast-growing AI-enabled B2B Marketplace and FinTech platform with a global footprint spanning the US, Europe, India and APAC. We connect online and offline businesses across the Jewellery industry, streamline complex diamond, gemstones and jewellery supply chains and logistics corridors, and process high transaction volumes across multiple currencies and payment rails. As we continue to scale, having sharp strategic financial analysis and decision support are critical enablers of our growth. ROLE OVERVIEW We are looking for an FP&A Associate who wants to move into a high visibility, operational role from the world of IB and / or VC finance, and use that move to compound their craft by working inside a fast-paced, high-growth, technology-led platform business. This role is ideal for someone who has spent 2 to 4 years in investment banking, private equity, venture capital or other similar corporate finance roles, and now wants to learn how a business actually gets built: how cohorts compound, where unit economics break, which GTM motions earn the right to scale, and what board-grade narratives and analyses look like when it is your job to own them. You will own cohort- and growth analytics for the company, partner with our Go-to-Market team to find efficiencies and unlock compounding growth, and make sure that core reporting to management, the wider company, and our Board lands on time and at quality. You will help take our FP&A function from 1 to 5; we have broken ground, and you will help build the rest. You will also be one of the early operators inside an AI-native finance and data function. The team works mainly with Anthropic’s Claude platform, with Snowflake as our data warehouse, NetSuite as our ERP, and ThoughtSpot as our BI layer. You can be based in Stockholm, London or Remote EU, and you will work closely with the CFO, FP&A Lead, Accounting, Treasury and our GTM leadership. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES 1. Cohort Modelling & Growth Analytics: Build and maintain cohort models across customers, suppliers, product lines (jewellery, diamonds, gemstones) and regions Decompose growth into rate and base effects (new vs. existing, price vs. volume, mix shifts, FX) so we know which lever is doing the work. Produce the analytics that determine where we lean in, where we cut, and where we wait. 2. GTM Partnership & Commercial Efficiency: Partner with Sales, Account Management, Marketing and RevOps to build the operating cadence: pipeline math, conversion rates, ramp curves, productivity per rep, CAC and LTV by segment. Identify where the GTM machine is leaking efficiency (channel mix, segment ROI, discounting, comp plan distortions, hand-off points) and work with the team to fix it. Build the business cases for hiring, territory expansion, TAM/SAM/SOM, pricing changes and new GTM motions, and stay close enough to the team to know if the assumptions are holding. 3. Core Reporting & Cadence: In partnership with / by leveraging the Finance teams AI agents, own the core management reporting pack: recurring KPI read-outs, monthly P&L and KPI commentary, and quarterly business reviews. Make sure they land on time, every time. Build and maintain the company-wide reporting that goes to the team in our all-hands and async updates, so everyone has a shared view of how we are doing. Co-own the board reporting cycle with the rest of FP&A: The deck, the data behind it, the commentary, and the running narrative quarter to quarter. 4. Forecasting, Planning & Budget Cycles: Maintain and improve our short-term forecasts (monthly re-forecasts) and the annual operating plan, in partnership with department leads. Translate operational assumptions into a coherent P&L, balance sheet and cash flow view, and pressure-test how the assumptions hold up against actuals. Run scenario and sensitivity analysis so leadership understands the path, the downside, and the unlock. 5. Decision Support & Business Cases: Be the finance partner across cross-functional projects (pricing, supplier terms, market expansion, product launches, hiring plans), bringing rigour without slowing the team down. Build the models that turn a debate into a decision, and stay close enough to the work to know whether the model is reflecting reality. 6. AI-Native Tooling, Data & Process Improvement: Use Anthropic’s Claude platform (Claude Code, Claude Cowork, Claude Design, etc) as your default working environment for analysis, modelling and reporting automation. Help raise the bar on data quality and consistency across Snowflake, NetSuite and ThoughtSpot, so the same number means the same thing wherever you find it. Identify opportunities to automate recurring reporting and analysis through AI-native workflows, and contribute to the playbooks the rest of the function uses.
