Financial Director (SaaS)
The Role: Financial Director
Location: City of London
Package: Circa £125,000 with performance based bonus, options and assumed back end benefits such as private health.
This is a new position, in an exciting period of change for a global SaaS business.
Reporting to the CEO, we're looking to bring in a new financial director and the remit will be to rebuild and bring efficiency to the financial function of the business using automation and AI.
You'll be tasked with delivering high quality reporting by way of ARR, NRR, churns, cohorts and margins alongside leading capital strategy and lender engagement.
It's a key period for the business, a time of reset and on that basis this role is going to suit someone that comes from the assumed SaaS sector background but also has that financial leadership experience within a scaling environment - the thinking being £10m-30m ARR heading towards £50m+.
This is a hands on role for someone who understands the efficiency that can be brought to a technology business through automation and technology, so the challenge will be to build systems, models and reporting functionality using the best in class systems available on the market.
The business is global and as such, multi-entity, multi-currency international exposure is going to be important alongside operating in a founder driven, entrepreneurial delivery environment.
This is key - think about the implementation of scalability in a fluid working environment with constant pivots and changes of ideas. You'll need to be a person of integrity and blend diplomacy alongside standing your ground in the decision making process, and that is a delicate balancing act.
It's a low ego, high pressure style environment and we don't feel the role will suit someone from a big company, big team style environment more so a rapid growth, private equity /take private / founder-led business.
Sitting on the ELT for the business, we need someone who is going to be really in the financial detail and have their finger on the pulse by way of what is going on, and appetite for success and being part of something with big global aspirations is a solid summary alongside being a real carrot for the role, as the right person is going to play a big part in how this is going to be.
Hybrid working model and we'd expect you to be in the London office perhaps 3 days each week.
