Senior Finance Manager

Inside Manchester’s Fastest-Growing Tech Startup: A Senior Finance Manager Wanted | Hybrid in Manchester | Up to £70k

There are startups, and then there are startups that change the way we think about an entire industry. This Manchester-based brand is the latter.

Born from frustration with outdated systems, they set out to solve a problem that had been ignored for decades. Fast-forward a few years, and they’re no longer just a local player:

• Operating across multiple UK cities and in the US
• Valued at nearly £100m in 2025
• A team of 60+ ambitious professionals, scaling to 100 by the end of 2026

But it’s not just about numbers, it’s about culture and building the right team to make things happen. Every decision is user-first, bold, and intentional, with a roadmap aimed at becoming Manchester’s next unicorn.

Why Finance Leaders Are Central

Behind every breakthrough product is a finance engine that ensures growth is strategic, sustainable, and scalable. That’s where you come in.

As Senior Financial Manager, you won’t just be reporting numbers, you’ll shape the company’s financial story. Working side-by-side with the CEO, you’ll guide decision-making, oversee international expansion, and ensure the finance function fuels ambition rather than holds it back.

You’ll:

• Build financial models that inform strategy for leadership and investors
• Lead budgeting, forecasting, and reporting with clarity and insight
• Oversee cash flow, payroll, compliance, and global tax obligations
• Develop scalable financial processes that grow with the business
• Manage EMI schemes, pensions, and R&D tax credits
• In short: your fingerprints will be on every key growth decision.

Who Thrives Here:

• This is a role for someone who wants more than just a title:
• Experienced leading finance in a startup, SaaS business, or scaling SME
• Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CPA, or equivalent)
• Comfortable with international finance, particularly US operations
• A hands-on operator who thrives in fast-moving, high-impact environments
• Excellent communicator who partners across the business

Why You’ll Stay Excited

• Work in a company where every person shapes the future
• Direct access to founders and leadership on global strategy
• Competitive salary: £70,000 equity options perks
• Hybrid working: 4 days onsite in central Manchester

If that sounds like the challenge you’re ready for, let’s talk.
