The Mission

Key Responsibilities

  • Action: Direct month-end accounting closing routines across all European entities for internal payroll, social charges, contractor expenses, and bonus accruals, executing deep-dive variance analyses against reforecasts.
  • Output: Institutional-grade monthly closing packs, exhaustive cost-trend commentary, and granular variance bridge reports shared directly with Finance leadership, the CHRO, and HRBPs.
  • Metrics: Timely and accurate monthly closing execution (Day +3 target), 100% reconciliation accuracy between HRIS, accounting, and EPM, and zero unflagged workforce spend variances.
  • Action: Architect, update, and stress-test baseline workforce financial models for annual budgets, quarterly reforecasts, and monthly rolling P&L landing projections across both internal headcount and freelancers.
  • Output: Dynamic, multi-scenario rolling headcount and personnel cost models integrating recruitment ramp-ups, turnover assumptions, and localized social charges across European entities.
  • Metrics: Budget-to-actual variance margin (<2% tolerance on personnel spend), forecast reliability index, and timely completion of quarterly budget cycles.
  • Action: Own the Amalia compensation management platform end-to-end, calculating and validating quarterly Commercial and Operations bonus payouts while analyzing bonus trends, run-rate adjustments, and potential financial risks.
  • Output: Audited quarterly bonus distribution files, commission payout statements, and forward-looking incentive cost impact analyses.
  • Metrics: 100% on-time and error-free quarterly bonus payout execution, payout dispute rate (<1%), and model-to-budget commission run-rate fidelity.
  • Action: Serve as the dedicated business owner for Malt’s Pigment People App, leading the design, formula enhancement, user testing, continuous maintenance, and seamless integration with HRIS data.
  • Output: A scalable, automated workforce monitoring and planning application serving as the single source of truth for headcount tracking and scenario modeling.
  • Metrics: Platform uptime and data sync integrity (>99%), active adoption by the CHRO, HRBPs, and Finance stakeholders, and manual spreadsheet reduction (>80%).

Requirements & The Skills Matrix

  • Built and maintained robust workforce financial models or comprehensive personnel cost budgets within a fast-paced scale-up, corporate, or audit environment.
  • Steered month-end closing procedures for payroll, social charges, contractor expenses, and bonus accruals across multi-entity international structures.
  • Architected advanced models within modern EPM/CPM platforms (Pigment, Anaplan, Adaptive, or equivalent) and demonstrated advanced Excel/Google Sheets mastery.
  • Administered variable compensation, sales commission engines, or incentive tools (such as Amalia, CaptivateIQ, or Spiff) with zero error tolerance.
  • Partnered directly with People leaders and CHROs, translating talent acquisition pipelines and organizational shifts into accurate P&L cash-flow trajectories.
  • Strategic HR & C-Level Partnership: Partner closely with the CHRO to co-design hiring plans, anticipate headcount trade-offs, and back up organizational decisions with solid financial scenarios.
  • Advanced Multi-Dimensional EPM Architecture: Master Pigment modeling, data pipelines, and logic structuring for rapid organizational scale.
  • Workforce Unit Economics & Efficiency: Evaluate and optimize cost per head, productivity ratios, blended freelancer-to-permanent resource ratios, and capacity utilization across Europe.
  • Incentive Compensation Optimization: Leverage compensation analytics to design balanced bonus payout curves that reward top-tier performance while protecting company margins.

The Self-Selection Filter

  • Thrive on building order out of high-growth complexity, treating workforce planning as an evolving product rather than a static spreadsheet.
  • Relish acting as a trusted sparring partner for the CHRO and People leaders, combining high financial standards with genuine empathy and pedagogical clarity.
  • Combine mathematical rigor with deep curiosity, digging into the "why" behind variance trends to give leadership actionable strategic levers.
  • Champion collaborative problem-solving, taking pride in delivering clean, auditable models and intuitive dashboards that non-finance leaders love using.
  • Hesitate to collaborate daily with HR teams or feel uncomfortable presenting financial insights directly to the CHRO.
  • Prefer static, routine accounting entries where every process is pre-paved and handed down via an immutable playbook.
  • Dislike ambiguous data sources, hesitating to jump into HRIS platforms and collaborate directly with recruiters to verify pipeline numbers.
  • View FP&A as a siloed back-office checkpoint rather than an active, team-sport catalyst for sustainable business scale.

30-60-90 Day Impact Plan

  • Day 30: Immerse yourself in Malt’s business model and workforce structure while establishing strong operating cadences with your FP&A manager, the CHRO, HRBPs, and the HRIS team. Audit current people-cost models, map out data flows between HR tools and Pigment, and master the month-end closing routine for payroll and freelance accruals.
  • Day 90: Assume full operational ownership of the Pigment People App and quarterly Amalia bonus calculations, delivering error-free incentive runs and granular variance analyses. Deliver your first quarterly workforce reforecast cycle autonomously, presenting key efficiency drivers and headcount budget landing precision directly to the FP&A manager and the CHRO.
  • Day 180: Run Malt’s entire people cost and workforce planning function with end-to-end autonomy across all European markets. Elevate the Pigment People App into an automated, self-serve planning hub for the People team, proactively submitting forward-looking resource allocation models directly to the CHRO and executive leadership.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
