FP&A Analyst

Zeller is building one of the most AI-leveraged finance functions in the market - a small team that punches far above its weight by treating AI as core infrastructure, not a novelty. We're looking for an FP&A Analyst to be a driving force in that.

This isn't a run-the-playbook role. You'll dig into the economics of a high-volume payments business, work alongside the people setting commercial strategy, and help build the AI-powered workflows that let a lean team operate like a much larger one. You'll grow into the team's go-to person on gross margin - learning the cost dynamics of a payments engine to help find efficiencies and sharpen our unit economics - and you'll support Sales and Marketing as a commercial partner.

You'll work across a modern data stack - Databricks, Claude Code, Gemini, Aleph, Xero. You'll have the tools and the encouragement to lean on AI/LLMs to take the manual grind out of the work.

Role Responsibilities

• Commercial Business Partnering
• Pricing: Work with Sales to model and simulate commercial pricing for prospective high-value merchants and partners.
• Target Setting: Help Sales leadership set data-backed quotas, revenue targets, and performance-tracking models.
• Growth: Partner with Marketing and Growth on unit economics (CAC, payback) to optimise acquisition-channel efficiency.
• Margin Analysis: Help decompose margin movement into rate and mix drivers, and surface where the unit economics are moving and why.
• AI Integration & Process Innovation
• AI-Powered Workflows: Build, test, and iterate on AI/LLM tooling that automates manual FP&A work and uncovers insights faster - the difference between a good finance team and a next-gen one.
• Process Transformation: Continually look at FP&A workflows for where AI can remove manual effort and deepen analysis.
• Advanced Analytics: Apply statistical methods (e.g. regression, anomaly detection) to historical data to surface trends, anomalies, and business drivers.
• Financial Modelling & Reporting
• Forecasting Mechanics: Support the core budgeting and forecasting mechanics for Group financials, building oversight across the P&L.
• Model Architecture: Create and enhance the models behind acquiring economics, customer acquisition, and three-way statement forecasting.
• Strategic & Financial Narratives: Prepare monthly financial deep-dives and support the annual plan, distilling complex data into clear stories for leaders.
• Data Visualisation: Build automated dashboards that let leaders make on-demand, data-driven decisions.

What You’ll Bring

• A bachelor's degree in Finance, Business, Accounting, or a related field.
• 2+ years in FP&A, Commercial Finance, or Finance Business Partnering.
• Hands-on experience building workflows or tools with AI/LLMs - and genuine enthusiasm for it.
• Strong SQL or BI experience, and comfort navigating large datasets to self-serve answers.
• A solid grasp of statistical concepts and how to apply them to forecasting and analysis.
• Advanced Excel, with a focus on auditability - the integrity backbone under the automation.
• A self-starter who finds the answer rather than waiting for it.
• A structured, methodical approach to problem-solving, and the ability to explain complex ideas to any audience.

• CA / CPA / CFA / CIMA qualification.
• Experience in working within a high-growth/startup environment.
• Financial Services and/or Payments industry experience.
