Deliver a monthly executive synthesis highlighting top risks and opportunities. 2. Business Performance Steering: Track order intake, project backlog, and unbilled revenue across all active customer contracts. Analyze gross margins across customer segments and maintain 4 core KPI dashboards (bookings, backlog, DSO, gross margin). 3. Revenue & Cash Collection Assurance: Monitor accounts receivable, overdue balances, and customer disputes in coordination with Sales Operations. Ensure 100% accuracy of invoicing against contract deliverables and period-end cut-offs. 4. Operational Integration & Month-End Close: Provide operational inputs for monthly closes (accruals, unbilled revenue, deferred revenue, inventory valuation) across 4 international legal entities. 5. Internal Control & Governance: Oversee key expenditure controls, vendor onboarding workflows, bank detail verifications, and approve purchase requests within defined authorization limits. 6. Group Finance Projects: Contribute to annual budget creation, multi-year financial scenarios, monthly board materials, annual audits, and public grant application files. ## Requirements for the role Experience: 4 to 7 years in business controlling, FP&A, or financial audit, ideally within scale-ups combining hardware and SaaS models.

Education: Master’s Degree (5-year higher education qualification) in Finance, Accounting, or Business Administration from a recognized university or business school. Technical & Software Skills: Advanced proficiency in financial modeling (Google Sheets/Excel) and hands-on exposure to modern ERP/CRM platforms (e.g., Pennylane, QuickBooks, HubSpot, Payhawk). Languages: Full bilingual fluency (C2 level) in English and French to interface daily across 5 international hubs. Why join us? Be part of the team pioneering Spatial Intelligence solutions at unprecedented scale—the breakthrough technology transforming how the world’s most prestigious airports, infrastructure operators, and smart cities understand and optimize physical flows. As a 7-time Gartner-recognized category-defining leader with dozens of global awards including “Edge AI Product of the Year,” “LiDAR Leader Award,” “CES Best of Innovation” and many more, we’re backed by 37 patents and deployments with the most prestigious (and challenging) customers across 4 continents. Join our international team of world-class experienced engineers and business leaders solving humanity’s most complex spatial challenges, from passenger flow optimization to autonomous robotics coordination, while working at the cutting edge of 3D AI, LiDAR perception, and real-time analytics. Supported by rock-solid investors including 4 major institutions (BNP Paribas, BPI France, Energy Innovation Capital, and Demeter) who back our long-term vision, this is your opportunity to shape how physical and digital worlds interact, with the resources, growth trajectory, and technical challenges that will accelerate your career in ways traditional companies cannot offer.
