Join Qonto as a Finance Transformation Project Manager, based in Paris, and take full ownership of high-impact, cross-functional initiatives — from analyzing current gaps to selecting providers, implementing new processes, and driving adoption across Finance. Your work will directly shape how Qonto’s Finance functions at scale.

You will work closely with your Finance Transformation peers and Core Finance, Strategic Finance, Product and Tech teams. You will be in the details of our processes and tools, while keeping the big picture in sight.

➡️ What you'll do

- Own your projects end to end: frame the scope, build the plan, governance and risk tracking, and coordinate the delivery.

- Diagnose our current processes and tools: in relation to your project scope, map the flows end to end, use data to find pain points and compliance risks, and turn them into a prioritized roadmap within your project plan.

- Choose the right solution: define requirements, run build-or-buy analysis, run RFPs or assess our existing tools when relevant, and recommend the best option, whether that means improving what we have, building in-house or selecting a new solution.

- Build and roll out hands-on: work shoulder to shoulder with the business teams, Product Owners and system experts on configuration, integrations and testing, then drive adoption across the teams concerned.

- Steer cross-functional stakeholders without formal authority: run the project rituals, anticipate risks, arbitrate trade-offs and keep leadership updated on progress and blockers.

➡️ What we're looking for

- Project leadership: you have led finance transformation or systems projects end to end (framing, delivery, adoption) for 6+ years, and you drive Finance and Tech teams within your project scope without hierarchy.

- Hands-on and systems-minded: you map processes yourself, analyze data and test solutions with Tech instead of only writing specs. You are comfortable with finance tools and data flows (ERP, purchase-to-pay or procurement tools such as Coupa).

- Finance process know-how: you can map finance flows from purchasing to payment and accounting, spot dependencies and design pragmatic, compliant solutions.

- Structured problem-solving: you diagnose with data, run tool selections or RFPs, and turn recommendations into changes that stick.

- Clear communication & stakeholder management: you are able to influence across teams and present complex topics simply to any audience.

- Qonto fit: you connect with our culture https://qonto.com/en/careers/culture and with how we work: autonomy, customer satisfaction at the core, and collaboration across teams. You are fluent in English (French is a plus).

➡️ What we can offer you

- Cross-functional exposure: work closely with teams across Finance, Product, Tech and Growth, giving you a 360° view of how finance operates in a fintech at scale.

- A high-impact roadmap: participate in the transformation our current processes, tools and people into a best-in-class Finance function ready for our next stages of development.

- A playbook to build: help create and refine our finance transformation playbook, challenge existing processes and shape how we work.

- How we work: a data-driven, hands-on culture, with high autonomy and access to senior leaders when needed.

- Tools we use: our Finance stack includes SAP ERP Cloud, Coupa, Kyriba, Amelkis, and Anaplan.
