About Black Forest Labs

We're the team behind Latent Diffusion, Stable Diffusion, and FLUX—foundational technologies that changed how the world creates images and video. We’re creating the generative models that power how people make images and video—tools used by millions of creators, developers, and businesses worldwide. Our FLUX models are among the most advanced in the world, and we're just getting started.

Headquartered in Freiburg, Germany with a growing presence in San Francisco, we’re scaling fast while staying true to what makes us different: research excellence, open science, and building technology that expands human creativity.

Why This Role

You'll architect the financial planning backbone for a company scaling faster than traditional frameworks can handle. This isn't about maintaining existing budgets—it's about building planning processes, financial models, and decision frameworks that help leadership allocate resources in a market that's evolving in real time.

What You’ll Work On

You'll be the person who:

• Owns and drives the full planning cycle—annual operating plans, quarterly forecasts, rolling projections, and long-range strategic planning tailored to AI research timelines (spoiler: annual budgets don't work)
• Builds sophisticated financial models covering multiple revenue streams (API, Enterprise, Playground), GPU compute economics, headcount planning, and cash flow across US and German entities
• Delivers monthly and quarterly business reviews with variance analysis, KPIs, and actionable insights that support executive planning and board reporting
• Leads scenario planning for decisions most companies don't face: GPU provider contracts, go-to-market expansion, pricing frameworks, and R&D investment allocation where one breakthrough hire might 10x capabilities
• Partners with GTM leadership on revenue forecasting when your "pipeline" includes researchers, startups, and Fortune 500s with completely different economics
• Collaborates with Engineering on GPU compute optimization and infrastructure planning where the input is "we need more GPUs" and your job is figuring out how many, when, and from which providers
• Builds executive dashboards tracking what actually matters: ARR growth, customer cohort economics, gross margins, burn rate, and the relationship between model quality and infrastructure cost
• Designs scalable FP&A processes and drives automation across financial planning—working with Accounting to ensure data integrity and reporting consistency
• Supports high-impact strategic initiatives: pricing optimization, enterprise contract structuring, customer segmentation economics, and fundraising support

What We’re Looking For

You've built FP&A in high-growth environments where "best practices" are still being written. You're equally comfortable building three-statement models from scratch as you are explaining complex tradeoffs to non-finance stakeholders. You understand that perfect forecasts are impossible, but disciplined planning is essential. You move fast, think in systems, and know when precision matters versus when directional clarity is enough.

You likely have:

• 6-10 years in FP&A, corporate finance, investment banking, or strategic finance, with at least 4 years hands-on FP&A experience at a high-growth company
• Proven track record owning full planning cycles (annual budgeting, quarterly forecasts, long-range planning) at a B2B SaaS, AI, or technology company
• Advanced Excel/Google Sheets modeling skills—you build complex financial models from first principles, not templates
• Fluency in SaaS metrics (ARR/MRR, NDR, CAC, LTV, payback period, gross margin, Rule of 40) and ideally consumption-based pricing models
• Experience with modern finance tech stack and genuine curiosity about AI-powered finance workflows versus legacy systems
• Comfort with international operations, multi-entity financial structures, and US GAAP
• Ability to work with large datasets, perform deep variance analysis, and build dashboards that executives actually use

We'd be especially excited if you:

• Have experience with usage-based or consumption revenue models, API pricing structures, or GPU/cloud infrastructure economics
• Understand subscription economics alongside usage-based pricing in technical or developer-focused markets
• Bring exposure to enterprise contract structuring and technical sales processes
• Have worked somewhere that scaled 3-5x and had to rebuild planning processes mid-flight
• Are intellectually honest about uncertainty—you can say "here's what we don't know yet" without flinching

How We Work Together

We’re a distributed team with real offices that people actually use. Depending on your role, you’ll either join us in Freiburg or SF at least 2 days a week (or one full week every other week), or work remotely with a monthly in-person week to stay connected. We’ll cover reasonable travel costs to make this possible. We think in-person time matters, and we’ve structured things to make it accessible to all. We’ll discuss what this will look like for the role during our interview process.

Everything we do is grounded in four values:

• Obsessed. We are a frontier research lab. The science has to be right, the understanding deep, the product beautiful.
• Low Ego. The work speaks. The best idea wins, no matter who said it. Credit is shared. Nobody is above any task.
• Bold. We take the ambitious bet. We ship, we do not wait for conditions to be perfect.
• Kind. People over politics. We treat each other with genuine warmth. Agency without empathy creates chaos.

We're not just tracking expenses—we're building the financial architecture that enables a frontier AI company to make disciplined decisions at breakthrough speed. Every model you build gives leadership better visibility. Every process you implement accelerates decision-making. Every scenario you analyze shapes how we allocate resources between growth and efficiency, research investment and commercialization. If that sounds more compelling than optimizing existing budgets, we should talk.

Base Annual Salary: $165,000–$210,000 USD

We're based in Europe and value depth over noise, collaboration over hero culture, and honest technical conversations over hype. Our models have been downloaded hundreds of millions of times, but we're still a ~50-person team learning what's possible at the edge of generative AI.

Who we are

The role

The day-to-day

Financial Planning & Forecasting

• Own the annual budget and multi-year long-range plan across all business units, domains and geographie

• Build and maintain a rolling 12-month forecast updated monthly, with full P&L, balance sheet, cash flow and capital plan integration

• Design scenario models (bull / base / bear) that stress-test revenue against contract win rates, programme timelines and geopolitical variables

• Lead the monthly financial review cycle — packaging actuals vs forecast vs budget with clear variance analysis and management commentary

• Own overhead cost tracking and cross-functional cost allocation models, ensuring programme margins are correctly stated

IPO Readiness & Investor Reporting

• Build the financial model underpinning Helsing's IPO equity story — revenue quality, gross margin trajectory, EBITDA bridge, cash burn and path to profitability

• Develop and maintain the investor KPI dashboard: ARR, NRR, contract backlog, revenue per employee and gross margin by product line and domain

• Prepare investor reporting, board packs and capital markets materials to the standard expected by institutional investors

Capital & Strategic Finance

• Build and own the capital allocation framework — how Helsing decides which programmes, markets and M&A targets to invest in

• Model CAPEX vs OPEX trade-offs for major investment decisions including facility expansion, owned hardware platforms and data centre infrastructure

• Analyse and propose capital optimisation levers including lease vs own, build vs buy, and government grant or subsidised financing opportunities (EIB, export credit agencies, national defence industrial funds)

• Support the CFO on term sheet analysis, financing structures and debt covenant modelling

• Own working capital management — programme billing milestones, payment terms with governments and primes, and cash flow optimisation

Business Partnering & Decision Support

• Translate operational plans into financial outcomes as a direct partner to the VP Business Finance and CEO

• Build financial models for major business decisions: new market entry, domain expansion, pricing strategy and headcount investment cases

• Analyse defence contract economics across contract types — cost-plus, T&M, fixed-price, IDIQ — and ensure bidding and revenue recognition reflect the correct financial treatment under IFRS 15

• Partner with the M&A team on financial due diligence for acquisition targets and post-close integration financial modelling

Systems, Data & AI-First Finance

• Lead the selection and implementation of Helsing's FP&A tooling — from planning platform (Anaplan, Pigment, Cube, or equivalent) to management reporting stack

• Build AI-powered forecasting models that draw on contract backlog data, programme burn rates and external defence budget signals

• Design the finance data architecture — ensuring planning data is clean, auditable and connected to the ERP

• Develop and deploy AI agents for automated variance analysis, forecast generation and board reporting — reducing manual effort and increasing analytical depth

• Define and own the single source of truth for all financial KPIs across the organisation

You should apply if you

• Have built an FP&A function from scratch — no inherited team, no legacy tools, no established process — and can demonstrate the planning infrastructure, reporting architecture and team you created

• Have operated successfully in a high-growth, venture-backed or recently listed technology environment and understand the financial complexity of scaling across multiple geographies and contract types

• Can build three-statement integrated financial models from first principles and model complex defence contract structures (cost-plus, T&M, fixed-price, milestone billing) under IFRS 15

• Have selected and implemented modern FP&A tooling and take an AI-first approach to forecasting, variance analysis and reporting — you do not accept manual processes where automation can deliver greater analytical depth

• Communicate the financial narrative clearly and concisely to non-financial audiences, including a Board with deep capital markets and valuation expertise

• Are business-fluent in English and able to operate across Helsing's multi-jurisdiction footprint

Note: We operate in an industry where women, as well as other minority groups, are systematically under-represented. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications; ability and impact cannot be summarised in a few bullet points.

Nice to Have

• Experience in defence, aerospace, deep tech or dual-use technology — including programme accounting, government procurement cycles and the financial complexity of classified programmes

• Deep knowledge of IFRS 16 (leases) and the treatment of government grants and R&D expenditure

• Professional qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) or MBA; CFA is an advantage for the investor relations component

• Proficiency in SQL, Python or R for financial data analysis

• Working proficiency in German or French

Join Helsing and work with world-leading experts in their fields 

• Helsing’s work is important. You’ll be directly contributing to the protection of democratic countries while balancing both ethical and geopolitical concerns

• The work is unique. We operate in a domain that has highly unusual technical requirements and constraints, and where robustness, safety, and ethical considerations are vital. You will face unique Engineering and AI challenges that make a meaningful impact in the world

• Our work frequently takes us right up to the state of the art in technical innovation, be it reinforcement learning, distributed systems, generative AI, or deployment infrastructure. The defence industry is entering the most exciting phase of the technological development curve. Advances in our field of world are not incremental: Helsing is part of, and often leading, historic leaps forward

• In our domain, success is a matter of order-of-magnitude improvements and novel capabilities. This means we take bets, aim high, and focus on big opportunities. Despite being a relatively young company, Helsing has already been selected for multiple significant government contracts

• We actively encourage healthy, proactive, and diverse debate internally about what we do and how we choose to do it. Teams and individual engineers are trusted (and encouraged) to practise responsible autonomy and critical thinking, and to focus on outcomes, not conformity. At Helsing you will have a say in how we (and you!) work, the opportunity to engage on what does and doesn’t work, and to take ownership of aspects of our culture that you care deeply about

What we offer

• A focus on outcomes, not time-tracking

• Competitive compensation and VSOP options

• Relocation support

• Social and education allowances

• Regular company events and all-hands to bring together employees as one team across Europe

Key Purpose of Role

This exciting opportunity will work closely and collaboratively with the existing FP&A team in EMEA and US. This individual will be a key contributor to help strengthening and further build out a world class financial modelling and forecasting team for the firm.

The role will involve performing consolidated analysis at both firm and fund strategy levels, providing actionable insights to key stakeholders. The position plays a critical part in shaping the firm’s financial outlook by developing and maintaining detailed revenue models for existing and new products, forecasting income streams, and consolidating key financial metrics such as management fees, performance-related earnings, and investment income.

This hands-on role will support the build-up of the firm’s corporate long term financial models, forecasting long term developments, introductions of new products, impact on margins and key KPIs over a longer period. Perform ad hoc analysis on special projects, including new fund strategies and the financial impact to the firm.

Another central aspect of the role is to collaborate closely with key business functions – including the broader Finance function, Fund Operations, Fund & Portfolio Analytics and Fundraising teams.

Due to the complex nature of the work, experience of working with asset management, private equity or financial services in general would be highly beneficial for this new team member.
