remote senior full-time United Kingdom

First indexed 20 May 2026

Description

We're not hiring a CFO. We're not hiring a spreadsheet builder. We're not hiring someone who needs a team of five to do the work of one. We need a Finance Operator. Someone who walks into organised chaos, rolls up their sleeves, oversees the right people and processes, and doesn't leave until it's a machine.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will report directly to and support our Director of Finance freeing them from the operational grind so they can focus on strategy and growth. You will inherit a multi-entity structure with real operational complexity: live cash flow pressure, a payment infrastructure in transition, manual processes that need to be automated, and financial data that needs to be turned into clean, actionable systems.

Your mandate is simple: stabilise, systematise, and automate. You will oversee the people and processes that execute this work and where needed, you will get into the detail yourself.

Responsibilities

  • Cash Flow & Treasury Oversight & Execution
  • Payment Infrastructure Lead the Transition
  • Systems, SOPs & Automation Turn Manual Into Machine
  • Entity & Vendor Management
  • Reporting Simple, Not Sophisticated

Requirements

  • 5+ years in a finance operations, treasury, or senior finance execution role , not advisory, not modelling, not investment banking
  • Experience leading or overseeing finance operations teams, external partners, or cross-functional processes
  • Direct hands-on experience managing high-volume, multi-currency cash flows (USD, GBP, AED)
  • Proven track record building and implementing SOPs in finance operations
  • Experience managing external bookkeeping or accounting firms and holding them to a standard
  • Strong working knowledge of Xero, Wise, Whop, and corporate card platforms (Pleo, Qashio or similar)

Benefits

  • Operate at the front line of AI-powered business building
  • Work directly with ambitious founders globally
  • Apply real-world experience not theory or scripts
  • Fully remote, senior-level role with autonomy and ownership
  • Founder-led environment that values judgment over bureaucracy
