From our people to our customers and partners, we exist to empower everyone to express their true selves through fashion. Our three e-commerce platforms – Dafiti (LATAM), ZALORA (SEA), and THE ICONIC (ANZ) – connect an assortment of international, local, and own brands to over 800 million consumers from diverse cultures and lifestyles. GFG’s platforms provide seamless and inspiring customer experiences from discovery to delivery, powered by art & science that is infused with unparalleled local knowledge. As part of the Group’s vision to be the #1 online destination for fashion & lifestyle in growth markets, we are committed to doing this responsibly by being people and planet positive across everything we do.
THE TEAM
In 2019, GFG became a publicly listed company on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. It is proud to combine the best of the governance and transparency of a public company with the entrepreneurial and growth spirit of an exciting digital business operating in some of the world’s most dynamic markets.
The Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) team is a core part of the Group Finance team, based in London. We focus on articulating and analysing the Group’s business performance and future forecasts to the GFG Management and Supervisory Boards. We work closely with the FP&A teams based in Latin America, South East Asia, and Australia, alongside the wider Group Finance, Tax, and Treasury functions in London, Luxembourg, and Germany.
As the Group matures, the Group FP&A function becomes ever more important in providing insight and analysis to support our fast-paced business. As a result, we are looking for a Group FP&A Analyst to join the Group Finance team based in London on a permanent basis. This is a broad, all-round role spanning both planning/forecasting and reporting, and the successful candidate will build end-to-end exposure across the full FP&A cycle.
This role will report to the Senior Manager, Group FP&A. You will work closely with the regional FP&A teams, the Group Reporting Team, the Group CFO, and the Management Board.
SCOPE OF ROLE
This is a broadly scoped role spanning the full FP&A cycle, from budgeting and forecasting through to Board and investor reporting. Core responsibilities fall into four areas:

Business Performance Reporting & Analysis
- Lead preparation of the Group’s monthly and quarterly business review packs for the Management Board and Supervisory Board, covering detailed P&L, Cash Flow, and Balance Sheet analysis, non-financial KPIs, and variance explanations versus budget, forecast, and prior year
- Provide accurate, timely analysis to the Group CFO and Management Board to support decision-making, including key value drivers, sensitivities, risks, and accounting and cash implications
- Support the preparation of external results announcements and presentations, working closely with the Financial Reporting team and Investor Relations
Planning & Forecasting
- Drive & coordinate the delivery, analysis, and presentation of the consolidated Group forecasting process, Annual Budget, and Mid-Term Plan
- Help maintain a high-level 5-year scenario model around the key drivers of the strategy, enabling stress-testing and scenario modelling, plus ad hoc scenario / what-if modelling as business needs arise
- Play an active role in the team's continued exploration and adoption of AI and automation within FP&A, streamlining processes and enhancing the quality of value-add analysis
Business Partnering & Regional Collaboration
- Provide critique and challenge to regional data, from both a financial and operational perspective, liaising with regional FP&A teams to understand local business performance and translate it into Group-level insight
- Build strong relationships with regional teams to open up communication and trust, and share best practice
Systems & Process Improvement
- Drive process improvement and OneStream development for FP&A, partnering with the Senior Finance Systems Analyst to build functionality that supports both planning and reporting workflows
- Play an active role in the development of the wider Finance strategy by helping shape and progress the FP&A roadmap end-to-end — from identifying opportunities through to implementation
What Will You Bring To The Team
- Qualified accountant with a record of success within a fast-moving, forward-thinking, multi-currency, listed company
- A low-ego intellect who can quickly get to the heart of an issue and is comfortable communicating it clearly to peers and to senior management
- Highly analytical, able to draw conclusions from large data volumes at pace
- A natural ability to curate and structure information, building slides and writing commentary that tell a clear, compelling story rather than simply presenting data
- Attention to detail; some of the outputs are shared externally so accuracy is key
- Excellent communication, both written and verbal, to cut through complex issues
- Strong Excel skills with experience of a Global EPM tool (OneStream highly desirable)
- Flexible attitude and ability to work in a fast-paced, agile environment, coping well with the demands of a varied workload spanning both planning and reporting cycles
- Highly self-motivated, with a strong focus on delivery and the initiative to own outcomes through to implementation
- Ability to quickly build strong working relationships with regionally based teams
- A friendly, curious, and considerate team player who demonstrates a desire to learn and willingness to support the goals of the wider organisation
