Commercial Planning Manager

Hello! We're Teya.

Teya is a payment and software service provider, headquartered in London serving small, local businesses across Europe. Founded in 2019, we build easy to use, integrated tools that enable our members to accept payments and boost business performance.

At Teya we believe small, local businesses are the lifeblood of our communities.

We’re here because we don’t believe there’s a level playing field that gives small businesses with a fighting chance against the giants of the high street.

We’re here because we see banks and legacy service providers making things harder for them. We don’t think the best technology or the best service should be reserved for those with the biggest headquarters.

We’re here to fight for a future where small, local businesses can thrive, and to commit the same dedication they offer all of us.

Become a part of our story.

We’re looking for exceptional talent to join our mission. We offer a chance to create impact in a high-energy and connected culture, while benefiting from continuous learning opportunities, a supportive community which is proud to serve our mission, and comprehensive benefits.

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

• Experience in fintech, payments, SaaS or another multi-country commercial environment.

• Exposure to sales planning, target-setting, channel planning, or commission/pricing-related work.

• Hands-on experience with planning, budgeting or performance operating cadences.

The Perks

• Physical and mental health support through our partnership with GymPass giving free access to over 1,500 gyms in the UK, 1-1 therapy, meditation sessions, digital fitness and nutrition apps.

• Cycle-to-Work Scheme.

• Health and Life Insurance.

• Pension Scheme.

• 25 days of Annual Leave (+ Bank Holidays).

• Possibility to travel to different offices around Europe.

• Office snacks every day.

• Friendly, comfortable and informal office environment in Central London.

• Flexible working hours, as long it suits both you and your team.

Teya is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, or background can thrive and do their best work.
