VP FP&A

Overview

UFORCE is a defence-technology company founded in Ukraine and headquartered in London, with operations across Europe, the United States and Asia. It builds uncrewed vessels, ground robotics and aircraft, autonomy software and the command-and-control layer that links them. UFORCE is hiring a full-time VP of Financial Planning and Analysis, a remote role in the United Kingdom reporting to the CFO.

The company has recently raised significant funding and needs a hands-on leader to turn strategy into agreed targets, realistic budgets, clear spending priorities and dependable reporting. Over the first six months the VP establishes the function, and over the following year builds a small team. The setting is demanding and not yet fully structured, so comfort with starting processes from a blank page and working with incomplete data is important.

Key responsibilities include building the integrated financial model from scratch, converting company strategy into financial targets, annual budgets, monthly forecasts and quarterly reviews, and running the planning process end to end. The VP delivers monthly management and board reporting reconciled to actuals, analyses product, contract and customer economics, links sales forecasts to signed contracts and delivery milestones, tracks budgets against actual and committed spending, and works with Treasury on a rolling cash forecast and runway view. The role also covers recommendations on what to fund, defer, reduce or stop, board and investor financial content, readiness for future financing or due diligence, and hiring and developing the FP&A team.

Requirements

UFORCE wants someone who has personally built a financial model from scratch that withstood investor scrutiny, and who has led or worked directly under the lead on the financial work for a major funding round. Strong judgement on prioritisation, the ability to challenge budgets constructively, and disciplined use of reconciled figures and documented definitions are expected. Commercial understanding of manufacturing, government or defence procurement, deployment costs and multi-currency operations is sought, along with experience managing analysts and developing independent owners. The company values a hands-on, low-ego, direct style and responsible handling of sensitive information.
