Description
Most finance roles ask you to keep the books. This one asks you to build the finance engine of a fast-growing insurance company: fast numbers, clean controls and a plan to fund what's next.
Hands-on in the details. Strategic in the room.
The company is customer-obsessed and aims to provide instant, simple, and caring insurance services. They've proven the model in the Netherlands and are scaling it across Europe.
Key Responsibilities
In your first year, you will:
- Automate reporting to provide instant numbers for the management team
- Tighten the monthly close and controls to ensure every entity runs cleanly
- Be a sparring partner for every team, challenging business cases, budgets, and assumptions
- Lead changes across teams and own improvements that cut across departments
- Coach the team and shape how finance grows with the company
Requirements
- Experience leading projects in strategy or operations consulting and working hands-on in a finance department, ideally at a scaleup
- Strong accounting knowledge to review a close, challenge a controller, and spot what's wrong in a P&L or a model
- Ability to take ownership, spot problems, propose fixes, and make them happen
- Experience with automation and using spreadsheets as a starting point
- Fluency in English; Dutch is a plus
Nice to Have
- Experience in insurance, fintech, or another regulated environment
