- By building a central controlling model, you create a single source of truth that lets colleagues test ideas and instantly see the impact on costs and P&L.
- For every product and partnership, you bring clarity to margins and derive how we can position ourselves profitably in the future.
- Together with the management team, you develop pricing models for existing and new products, including sales through our partners within the Lime CRM group.
- Compensation and commissions in sales are linked to real business success through your work, and you continuously refine our incentive structures.
- For go-to-market and product decisions, you model the impact on ARR and profitability and make priorities robust.
- Across the entire company, you embed fact-based decision-making, pragmatically and without over-engineering.

What You'll Be Working On
What Makes You a Fit
- Several years of experience in strategy or management consulting, for example as an analyst or consultant, have given you a solid foundation in strategy, structure and problem-solving.
- Sound business knowledge and a confident command of finance topics such as budget planning, margins and cost structures set you apart.
- Digital business models are familiar territory for you, ideally from a SaaS environment, and metrics such as ARR or unit economics come naturally.
- Complex questions become robust models in your hands, leading to clear recommendations, whether in an Excel model or in a board presentation.
- Numbers alone are not enough for you: with strong communication and persuasion skills, you bring stakeholders from management, sales and product to the same table.
- Your way of working is pragmatic and hands-on, driven by the wish to build structures from scratch rather than just manage them.
