What the job involves

• New Business Finance Enablement (NBFE) sits within Criteo Finance and is responsible for making sure Finance can safely and efficiently support new products, non-standard commercial deals and strategic partnerships
• Advise Product and Commercial teams on scalable, finance-sound structures that balance client needs, revenue growth and operational cost
• Ensure Finance readiness (processes, systems, data, controls, reporting, treasury/tax impacts) from Alpha/Beta through GA and scaling
• Drive standardization by turning recurring patterns into reusable, well-designed "standards"
• Clarify and improve governance, including finance review gates, DoA/approvals and KPIs for new business
• As NBFE Project Manager, you are one of the key faces of Finance for Product and Commercial teams on new business topics
• This role is at the heart of Criteo's evolution towards a broader Commerce Media Platform and requires regular collaboration with Product, Commercial, Technology and Finance leaders
• For each product, non-standard deal or partnership in your scope, you will:
• Represent Finance in cross-functional squads (Product, Sales, Deal Desk, Legal, IIT/R&D, Tax, Controlling, OTC, Treasury) from Ideation through Build and Run
• Advise and negotiate setups that reduce Finance enablement cost, increase scalability and control, while meeting commercial and client requirements
• Lead the Finance Viability assessment:
• Use Product materials as inputs
• Populate and maintain the internal Finance Viability Template across commercial model, billing, tax, accounting, reporting and treasury/payment topics
• Consolidate inputs from all impacted Finance teams
• Translate Finance requirements into clear, actionable asks for Product and IIT (tickets, user stories, acceptance criteria) and follow them through UAT to go-live
• Steer the product / deal / partnership through go-live and hypercare, tracking both:
• Financial outcomes
• Operational health (billing accuracy, incident rate, manual work, exception handling)
• Beyond individual deals, you will help NBFE industrialize new business patterns:
• Identify recurring commercial and product patterns and where we can move from "one-off" to standard offers
• Design, together with Product and IIT, standard enablers (billing design, reporting logic, approval rules) that Product and Sales can re-use with minimal finance friction
• Contribute to the NBFE catalog of "standards" and knowledge base (playbooks, examples, do/don'ts)
• You will support and improve the governance of Finance in the new business lifecycle:
• Propose and refine governance for new business in your scope:
• Pre-approvals and Delegations of Authority (DoA)
• Fast-track vs. standard review flows
• RACI and SLAs between Finance, Product and Commercial
• Ensure processes are documented end-to-end, including Finance roles and controls
• Share input to Finance leadership on trends, risks and opportunities across your portfolio
• Act as a trusted counterpart for Product Managers, Commercial leaders and Finance stakeholders on all finance-related aspects of new products and deals
• Prepare and run Finance and cross-functional workshops (design decisions, risk/impact reviews, go/no-go meetings)
• Communicate clearly and regularly on status, risks, dependencies and decisions to:
• Your manager and finance leadership
• Finance teams impacted by the change (OTC Ops, Tax, Treasury, Controlling, FP&A, etc.)
• Product and Commercial stakeholders
