## Job description

Solaris is Europe's leading embedded finance platform. Solaris’ full German banking license and proprietary modular B2B tech stack empowers its partners – from SMEs to large, multinational, non-financial companies – to offer compliant, customer-centric banking services, providing seamless experiences to customers across all industries. Founded in 2016, Solaris pioneered the Banking-as-a-Service market with an unparalleled combination of tech and banking. Solaris is headquartered in Berlin and employs 300 people in Europe.

At Solaris, we are redefining banking through our Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) model. We are looking for a FP&A Specialist to act as the financial engine driving our Planning & Controlling function. In this role, you won’t just track the numbers, you will orchestrate the financial narratives, analyze sophisticated unit economics, and act as a critical sparring partner to senior leadership.

## Your Role

- Proactively drive the annual Budget and multi-year Business Plan cycles, ensuring alignment across functions and constructively challenging assumptions.
- Elevate the quality and impact of monthly performance packs and executive-ready reporting. You will translate complex data into clear, strategic insights for the CFO, CEO, and Management Board.
- Build, maintain, and scale integrated financial models spanning P&L, Balance Sheet, and capital dynamics, performing scenario analyses against regulatory constraints like CET1 and leverage ratios.
- Dive deep into contribution margins, transaction processing, vendor spend, and cost-to-serve metrics to optimize gross margin performance across our BaaS model.
- Act as a trusted financial sparring partner to functional leads (Tech, Commercial, Operations, Risk), providing financial guidance on strategic initiatives, pricing, and partner onboarding.
- Ensure the accuracy of cost allocations and contribute to the continuous design of audit-ready financial processes within a regulated environment (BaFin/SRB expectations).

We'd love to see

Depending on your level of experience, your responsibilities and scope of role will range.

- 5-6 years of relevant experience within financial institutions (preferably banking), fintechs, strategy consulting, investment banking, or data-driven finance roles.
- Educational background in Finance, Economics, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related field.
- Proficiency in financial modelling, including P&L, balance sheet and capital dynamics, scenario modelling, and business case evaluation.
- Advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills; ability to build structured models, dashboards, and management-ready presentations.
- Hands-on experience leveraging or implementing Pigment (or similar enterprise planning platforms) to drive forecasting agility and process optimization.
- Experience with analytical or automation tools (e.g., SQL, VBA, Python) is a strong plus, particularly for handling large datasets and improving processes.
- Solid understanding of financial statements, drivers of profitability, and cost structures in banking or regulated environments.
- A structured, detail-oriented thinker with high stakeholder-management maturity. You can confidently challenge assumptions while balancing commercial needs with regulatory boundaries.
- Professional fluency in English. German language skills are a great bonus but not mandatory.
