About this role
Intro
Making healthy eating effortless — with plant-based, chef-crafted meals that deliver maximum nutrition, flavour, and convenience. At Every, we help people reach their health goals while protecting the planet. Our vision goes beyond quick fixes — it's about sustainable wellbeing.
We're looking for a Head of Finance & Controlling (m/f/d) — a senior, strategic hire who takes full ownership of Every's financial numbers and gives leadership and the founders the clarity they need to make confident decisions as we scale.
This is a build role. You'll set the strategy and standards for the function while staying hands-on in the first months, bringing structure to processes that are still manual and settling how our core metrics are defined.
You'll build on a solid accounting team that is already in place, expand the function into FP&A and controlling, and take the strategic decisions on Every's finance infrastructure.
Your responsibilities
- The definition layer, a single source of truth — establish one place where every commercial and financial metric is defined, so the whole company works from the same figures.
- Management reporting, accounting & controlling — own monthly management reporting end-to-end, from production and quality control through to the accompanying narrative, along with the controlling built on top of it.
- Planning, forecasting & liquidity — lead the annual plan and rolling forecast and the FP&A work behind them, together with the cash and liquidity model and working-capital management. You'll inherit and develop our existing cohort-based financial model.
- Finance operations, risk & compliance — oversee payment operations and the costs that feed into CM2, fraud and chargeback management, payroll, EU VAT and tax, and the legal and compliance interface.
- Strategic modelling on brief — take an open-ended question from leadership, for example modelling the TAM, CM2 and cannibalisation of a potential new SKU line, and produce a well-reasoned, defensible answer independently.
- Finance infrastructure & tooling — own the strategic decisions on Every's finance infrastructure and ERP, and roll out the FP&A, liquidity and close-automation tooling on top.
- Finance analytics & dashboards — build the dashboards and analysis the finance team runs on, drawing on data served centrally; comfortable enough with SQL to answer your own questions rather than wait on others.
- Cross-functional partnership — work as a peer with Growth, Ops, Digital Product and Customer Care to support and drive change across the business.
What you bring
- Finance leadership. 8+ years owning close review, management reporting, controlling and planning in organisations of 50–200+ people — ideally in e-commerce or D2C, and comfortable with supply-chain-driven cost structures.
- Modelling & analytics. Excellent financial-modelling and finance-analytics skills; you build your own dashboards and get into the data yourself (SQL a plus), without waiting on a BI team.
- Subscription economics. Fluent in cohort retention, CAC/CLV and contribution-margin ladders.
- Stakeholder credibility. You've settled a contested metric definition across functions, and you'll tell senior stakeholders when a number is wrong.
- Pragmatism. You bring structure where there is none and prioritise well under pressure.
- Languages. Able to work in German and English.
- Nice to have: D2C, subscription, food or FMCG · Big 4 audit or Transaction Services · founder-led company at 50–150 FTE · experience implementing ERP systems.
What we offer
- A high level of ownership in your role from day one
- A hybrid working model with a beautiful office in Kreuzberg
- Free lunches at the office
- 30% employee discount on Every products
- Subsidised Deutschlandticket and Urban Sports Club membership
- 30 days of annual leave
