At Bumble, we’re building the Love Company — creating products and experiences that help people form healthy, equitable relationships and friendships. This role sits at the heart of how we invest in growth: you’ll partner closely with Marketing to translate bold ideas into clear plans, smart trade-offs, and measurable outcomes. You’ll bring Curiosity and Courage to complex decisions, pairing sharp commercial judgement with respectful, people-first partnering. With a strong FP&A team around you, you’ll help raise the bar on how we forecast, learn, and act — using AI thoughtfully to move faster while keeping the work grounded in sound governance and human insight.
What you’ll do
- Strategically partner with Marketing leadership to shape growth and investment strategies that support Bumble’s long-term direction, role-modelling Courage and Respect in how you challenge and champion decisions.
- Lead Marketing planning rhythms (annual plan, forecasts, and ad hoc deep-dives), bringing thought leadership that connects strategy to spend, KPIs, and outcomes.
- Build and evolve ROI and investment models for Marketing (e.g., CAC/LTV, payback, funnel and cohort dynamics) to guide prioritisation and resource allocation.
- Provide clear visibility of performance across Marketing and the wider business, translating complex data into decision-ready insights that drive accountability against financial targets and operational KPIs.
- Own variance analysis versus plan, identify the “why” behind performance, and influence actions that maximise business outcomes — seeing work through from insight to impact with Excellence.
- Manage risks and opportunities across the quarter to anticipate landing positions early and enable confident decisions through disciplined scenario planning.
- Partner with User Acquisition and cross-functional teams (e.g., Accounting and Analytics & Data/ADA) to interrogate and synthesise performance from multiple data sources, strengthening measurement and operational rigour.
- Manage, develop, and coach a team — building an inclusive, high-trust environment that sparks Joy in great work and raises capability across the broader FP&A team through operational efficiency.
About you
- Typically requires 8+ years of experience, though we welcome candidates with alternative backgrounds that demonstrate equivalent skills.
- Significant Commercial Finance/FP&A experience with confident business partnering — able to both champion and constructively challenge senior Marketing stakeholders with Respect and Courage.
- Proven people leadership experience (including 3+ years managing a team of 4+), with a coaching mindset and a track record of developing talent.
- Strong ROI modelling capability for Marketing investments, using unit economics and cohort-based thinking to influence strategic decision-making.
- Comfortable presenting concise, compelling recommendations to senior leaders (SLT/ELT), connecting financial and non-financial performance and driving action.
- Takes ownership end-to-end, collaborates with purpose across functions, and adapts plans with an agile mindset when new information emerges — grounded in Curiosity and Excellence.
- Practically fluent with AI tools in a finance context: using them to accelerate analysis, scenario exploration, and storytelling while applying strong judgement, data privacy, and controls.
