Company Description

Who We Are

Since its entry into Europe in 2009, SquareTrade has gone live in 14 markets in Europe (UK, France, Germany, Benelux, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Hungary) as one of the largest and fastest growing mobile and consumer electronic insurance providers in Europe. The company is revolutionising and disrupting the £2bn+ market whilst setting the service standard in Europe by creating the most consumer-centric digital protection service, obsessed with best-in-class operations and technology, hassle-free service, and driving pace and product innovation in an industry that has lagged behind others. Partners include major European telecom operators such as Magenta, 3, Telenor, YouSee, DNA and Elisa as well as leading consumer electronics retailers including Amazon, Phone House and MediaMarkt.

The EU FP&A Team

The European FP&A team combines data analytics & business reporting with financial planning and profitability. We take an end-to-end view of the business operations and finances. The team has a wide range of responsibilities which includes implementation of EU strategy, ownership of our strategic 3-year plan, live re-forecasting, review of partner profitability, assessment of new partnership & acquisitions, risk management and decision support for various business units.

Currently based mainly in UK and India, the FP&A team is recruiting to support the extension of our business in Continental Europe and the next step of our expansion. SQT is currently applying for an insurance license in Belgium and the current position will focus particularly on the new insurer FP&A requirements including capital planning.

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.
