About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Head of Finance to lead and build out our Finance function. You will own management reporting, financial control, settlements, budgeting, cash-flow planning, and team development.

As Head of Finance, you will be the business owner of financial reporting and automation: define the financial logic, set requirements for the Data team, validate outputs, and embed automated reports into the department’s daily workflow.
