Finance & Strategy Manager

Are you a finance professional who thrives on building financial models that leadership can trust and isn’t afraid to roll up your sleeves on day-to-day finance? Upright is a rapidly growing impact data company on a mission to make it financially more attractive to run a net positive company than a net negative one. Since 2017, we’ve been committed to delivering science-backed, credible data on companies’ real-world impacts to help businesses, investors, and customers make better decisions.
We’re now seeking a hands-on finance professional with exceptional financial modelling skills - someone who can build robust financial models that drive real decisions. This is not a “support” role: we are looking for someone who can independently build, own, and iterate financial models that leadership can trust without hand-holding.
This role combines operational finance responsibilities (e.g., invoicing, receipt handling, reporting) with high-impact modelling and analysis. You’ll work closely with leadership to provide the financial backbone for strategic decisions, while also ensuring that day-to-day finance operations run smoothly.

Responsibilities:

• Building and maintaining high-quality financial models to support decision-making across the organization, from forecasting and scenario planning to strategic growth analysis. The models you build are reliable, transparent, and actionable.
• Taking ownership of key operational finance processes, including invoicing, accounts receivable/payable, and financial reporting.
• Supporting budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow planning efforts in collaboration with leadership.
• Producing clear and actionable financial insights for internal stakeholders and board reporting.
• Working with external bookkeeping partners to ensure smooth financial operations and compliance.

Signs Of Being A Great Match For This Role Include:

• Have strong, proven financial modelling skills - you can build reliable models from scratch without hand-holding.
• Bring experience in operational finance tasks (e.g. invoicing, accounting coordination, reporting).
• Work independently and proactively in a dynamic, growth-oriented environment.
• Can balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution.
• Possess strong analytical and organizational skills, able to manage multiple priorities efficiently.
• Have a track record of excellence - consistently delivering beyond expectations.
• Show a sense of urgency, ownership, and drive to get things done.
• Communicate clearly and effectively in Finnish and English, both spoken and written.

What We Offer:

• A chance to join a quickly growing and highly ambitious impact SaaS company with a mission that matters
• A fun and kind team with exceptional people who care about what they do
• Exciting professional growth opportunities
• Competitive compensation and a comprehensive healthcare package
