Job Description
Jade is building the future of trusted tech, and we’re looking for a strategic finance lead to help us steer it.
At Jade, we develop bulletproof software that powers mission-critical systems across the globe from detecting financial crime to supporting digital transformation. But behind every smart business decision is a finance leader who can connect the dots between performance, people, and long-term value.
We’re looking for an FP&A Manager to lead group-wide planning and insight, someone who thrives on turning data into direction, challenging the status quo, and enabling growth through sharp financial thinking.
This is your chance to shape the future of commercial finance at Jade and help our business scale with confidence.
The role
You’ll sit at the heart of our strategic and financial decision-making partnering directly with our Chief Commercial Officer, Chief People Officer, and Executive Leadership Team to guide where we invest, how we grow, and what success looks like.
This is a newly created role, designed for impact.
You’ll:
Lead the planning engine – own budgeting, forecasting, and performance reporting across the group and regions.
Tell the story behind the numbers – deliver insights that make strategy real and help leaders make confident, informed decisions.
Be a commercial sounding board – challenge assumptions, connect the dots, and bring clarity to complexity.
Level up the team – coach and support our Finance Business Partner to scale impact across the business.
Drive continuous improvement – from smarter models to sharper dashboards, you’ll elevate how Jade does financial planning.
This is more than reporting. It’s strategy in action — and your work will shape the choices that shape our future.
You’ll thrive here if you...
Think like a strategist, act like a partner - you don’t just crunch numbers; you translate them into direction, and people trust your read of the play.
Influence with insight - you're confident navigating senior conversations, and you know how to land a message that sticks.
Lead with clarity - whether you're guiding your team or guiding the business, you make complex things simple.
Love progress - you’re always asking how to make things better, faster, clearer, and more consistent.
What you bring
Solid experience in FP&A, business partnering, and commercial finance, ideally in a SaaS or tech environment.
Strong financial modelling and performance analysis skills.
Experience mentoring or leading other finance professionals.
Advanced Excel skills, with experience using tools like Workday Adaptive, Power BI, or similar.
A commercial lens, you can see the levers that drive business success and aren’t afraid to pull them.
Why Jade
At Jade, we build software that matters, trusted by customers to power systems that protect, scale, and evolve their organisations. We’re a New Zealand-founded tech company solving real-world problems, and we know that great impact starts with great people .
Customer-first, people-powered – When our people thrive, our customers win. That’s why we invest deeply in both.
Support that stacks up – From comprehensive health, life, and income protection insurance and time to give back to your community, we’ve got your back.
Designed for collaboration – We are an office-first (but flexible) environment across all our offices, to spark stronger relationships, better decisions, and shared success.
