Who We Are
Modulr is the payments automation platform that streamlines money movement with accuracy, control and reliability — built to
scale. We process more than 200m transactions and over £180bn in payment value on an annualised basis, and we’re trusted by over
6,000 businesses from fast-growing SMEs to global enterprises.
We automate how money moves into and out of a business — payroll, supplier payments, spend management and payment collection —
through a single platform, connected to the accounting and payroll systems finance teams already use and underpinned by principal
memberships of Visa and Mastercard and direct access to central bank infrastructure.
As a regulated payments provider with over a decade of experience, we’re the platform finance teams trust to run mission-critical
operations. Modulr is backed by PayPal, FIS, General Atlantic, Blenheim Chalcot, Frog Capital and Highland Europe, with over 400

Purpose of the Role
This role exists to own the detailed financial control and reporting execution across Modulr’s group entities - end to end, with
minimal supervision, to a standard that is audit-ready every month. You will take full hands-on responsibility for the areas
currently held at senior leadership level: the group management accounts, balance sheet reconciliations, controls execution,
intercompany and cross-border accounting, and the systems and processes that underpin them.
This is not a support role. You will be the person who gets it done – accurately, on time, with the controls mindset and risk to
recognise when escalation is required, and the judgement to manage most situations independently. The Financial Control leadership
team will rely on you as a trusted execution counterpart, freeing them to focus on oversight, stakeholder management and strategic
priorities.
You will also play an active role in improving how the team works, using AI and automation to reduce manual effort and increase
the consistency and quality of financial reporting across the function.

Scenario Planning, Sensitivity Analysis & Strategic Trade-offs: * Support scenario planning across the program, modelling alternative scope, timing, sequencing, adoption, and delivery pathways to inform executive choices and investment decisions. * Run sensitivities on and validate key assumptions such as savings timing, implementation cost, vendor spend, headcount impacts, and transition risks to assess downside, upside, and confidence ranges. * Support scenario planning across the program, modelling alternative scope, timing, sequencing, adoption, and delivery pathways to inform executive choices and investment decisions. * Run sensitivities on and validate key assumptions such as savings timing, implementation cost, vendor spend, headcount impacts, and transition risks to assess downside, upside, and confidence ranges. * Translate complex modelling outputs into clear options, trade-offs, and recommendations that support fast, fact-based decision-making. Business Case Development & Workstream Iteration: * Partner with workstream leads to convert initiative concepts into robust, quantified business cases with clear assumptions, dependencies, and benefit mechanisms. * Socialise the model and its outputs with stakeholders across Finance, People, PMO, and delivery teams, using structured challenge and iteration to improve accuracy, ownership, and delivery confidence. * Support stage gates and governance forums by stress-testing proposals, identifying modelling gaps, and helping initiative owners refine scope or sequencing to improve ROI and achievability. Insight Generation, Reporting & Decision Support: * Ensure clear and compelling executive-ready outputs from the model, including scenario summaries, bridge analyses, value waterfalls, and implications for financial performance. * Provide a single, trusted analytical view of transformation value to support prioritization, reforecasting, and performance discussions across leadership forums. * Highlight key modelling risks, assumption changes, and emerging variances early, and recommend actions to preserve value and maintain confidence in the transformation case. Partnership with Finance, PMO & Enterprise Stakeholders: * Work closely with the Enterprise Transformation Finance Lead and Head of Enterprise Transformation PMO - Finance & People to ensure the integrated roadmap remains grounded in financial logic and measurable value creation. * Partner with FP&A, Controllership, HR/People Finance, procurement, and workstream teams to align assumptions, validate inputs, and ensure consistency with enterprise reporting and planning processes where appropriate. * Strengthen modelling literacy across the program by providing practical templates, guidance, and coaching to initiative owners on assumptions, benefits estimation, and scenario construction. Skills & Experience: Experience: * 8+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, corporate finance, transformation finance, transaction services, strategic modelling, management consultancy, or enterprise performance management, with a strong record of building complex business-case models. * Demonstrated experience supporting large-scale transformation, operating model redesign, shared services, or ERP/HCM programs. * Proven track record of partnering with cross-functional stakeholders to iterate assumptions, challenge proposals, and turn ambiguous transformation activity into quantified financial cases. * Experience developing executive-level materials that translate modelling outputs into clear recommendations for governance, prioritization, and investment decisions. Modelling, Scenario Planning & Analytical Acumen: * Advanced financial modelling capability, including experience in a transformation context. * Strong commercial judgment with the ability to connect operational drivers, delivery assumptions, and organizational dependencies to financial outcomes. * Highly structured thinker with strong attention to detail, able to balance precision with pace and pragmatism in a fast-moving environment. Stakeholder Management & Communication: * Excellent communicator who can explain complex modelling concepts and financial implications clearly to senior non-finance stakeholders as well as finance specialists. * Strong influencing skills, with the confidence to challenge assumptions constructively and the credibility to build alignment across multiple workstreams. * Collaborative operator with experience working across global, matrixed teams and balancing competing stakeholder priorities. Execution & Drive: * High ownership and resilience, with the ability to manage multiple modelling cycles, deadlines, and governance requirements without compromising quality. * Outcome-focused and resilient, able to operate in a fast-paced environment where plans evolve and evidence must be updated continually. Education: * Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related analytical field. * MBA or relevant Master’s degree preferred.
