Commercial Planning Manager

Hello. We’re Teya.

Teya was founded on a simple belief: local businesses deserve better.

They are the cafés, restaurants, salons, shops and entrepreneurs that bring character to our high streets, create jobs and keep communities moving. Yet for too long, financial services has made life harder for them - with clunky tools, poor support and complexity that gets in the way of running a business.

Teya exists to change that.

We’re building a financial platform for local businesses across Europe - one built around simple tools, thoughtful design and real human support. Our Members rely on us to help them run their business with confidence, and that responsibility shapes the way we work.

We move fast. We care about quality. We stay close to the detail. And we believe great performance and genuine hospitality should go hand in hand.

If you want to build meaningful products, solve real problems and make a genuine difference for local businesses, we’d love to hear from you

Teya is building out its Commercial Planning & Performance team, which will be the analytical backbone of our commercial organisation. We're looking for a Commercial Planning Manager to own the central planning machine across our long-range plan, annual budget, and quarterly target-setting.

This is the seat that holds the planning system together for the Commercial organisation, running the planning process, structures the decisions, and turns ambition into plans the business can deliver against. You'll coordinate inputs across Finance, Product, Engineering, Data and our country teams, translating strategic direction into clear targets, budgets and operating outputs, and holding the cadence that makes it work.

This is a high-ownership, high-visibility individual-contributor role for someone who is energised by ambiguity, builds order quickly, and is as comfortable in front of leadership as they are in a spreadsheet.

What you'll do

Own the five-year plan end to end: calendar, inputs, topline and cost assumptions, scenario logic, country and channel outputs, and the materials that drive leadership decisions.

Own the annual budget from kickoff to sign-off: governance, assumptions, review cycles, and alignment between topline targets, cost plans and strategic priorities, in close partnership with FP&A.

Run the quarterly target-setting process: translating the annual plan into targets across countries and channels, calibrating with country leaders and channel owners so targets are realistic, economically grounded and operationally deliverable.

Hold the planning rhythm together: define the cadence, templates, decision points and ownership; track dependencies; surface trade-offs early; improve planning quality, transparency and speed over time.

Turn ambiguity into structured answers: frame open business questions as planning problems, run the scenario and sensitivity work behind decisions, and produce executive-ready materials that are clear about the recommendation, not just the analysis.

What we're looking for

3–6 years in strategy consulting, investment banking, strategic finance, business operations at a high-performing company.

Exceptional structured problem-solving; you can take an ambiguous question, frame it, and break it down into something the business can act on.

Strong analytical and modelling skills. Advanced spreadsheet fluency essential; comfort interrogating financial models and planning logic.

Process and project management instinct; you build operating rhythms naturally and follow through relentlessly across teams you don't own.

Excellent written and verbal communication; credible with executives, country leaders and senior cross-functional stakeholders.

High ownership and calm under pressure; able to hold a complex system together without losing the thread.

A plus
