Office Management

• Keeping the office and remote working infrastructure running efficiently
• Coordinating with suppliers, service providers and landlords as needed
• Supporting senior leadership with operational and administrative priorities
• Picking up whatever the business needs week to week. This is a scaling environment and flexibility is key

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Minimum 4 years in an accounting or finance role, ideally in a start-up or scale-up setting

• Confident with financial modelling, budgets and management reporting
• Strong Excel skills and hands-on Xero experience (non-negotiable)

• Exposure to PE-backed or investor-reporting environments
• Familiar with HR platforms such as BreatheHR, CharlieHR or similar

WHY THIS ROLE
