YOUR MISSION

As the Finance & Ops Lead for Marketplace Experience you will own the financial narrative, cost performance, and governance of the Customer Refunds & Compensations (R&C) team globally.

• Challenge cross-functional teams: Identify inefficiencies, challenge regional teams on cost deviations, and ensure clear action plans with measurable outcomes to materialize opportunities.

• Drive performance governance: Lead the R&C Monthly Finance Review, ensuring consistent reporting, performance storytelling, and accountability for Glovo’s senior management.

• Execute global cost optimization: Lead cross-functional projects (such as refining partner chargeback policies) and escalate systemic issues to advocate for structural fixes over short-term patches.

• Build scalable frameworks: Develop and maintain UX-friendly financial performance tools and dashboards to guide decision-making across all markets.

• 5+ years of experience in Finance, FP&A, Controlling, Strategy, or Operations roles.

• Strong ability to connect operational metrics to financial impact and build robust Business Plans and Best Estimates.
