Senior Finance Manager

We're working with one of the UK’s fastest-scaling tech startups - a VC-backed business that's disrupting the game. Born out of a genuine frustration with the existing system, this team has taken a user-first approach to solving a long-standing problem. In just a few years, they've expanded into multiple UK cities and recently launched in the US.

With fresh investment on the way, they're scaling and need a hands-on Senior Finance Manager ready to step into a senior leadership role within a high-growth, international-facing business
