Are you a finance leader who thrives on bringing structure, compliance, and insight to complex environments? Are you passionate about automating manual processes and building systems that scale? Do you roll up your sleeves to solve root issues rather than just identifying them? If that sounds like you — we want you to lead our accounting team. In this role, you’ll work across all areas of the business to sharpen your commercial acumen while embedding best-practice compliance, systems, and training across a remote finance team of six. What you will be doing As Financial Controller, you will take full ownership of our global accounting and finance operations.

You will dive into the details, resolve root causes of issues, and implement sustainable solutions.

Beyond operational excellence, you will play a critical role in advancing our business performance and planning framework. Your insights will guide decision-making at executive level, helping the leadership team focus on what matters most.

You communicate with clarity and empathy, and are comfortable collaborating with people across functions, cultures, and time zones. You embrace change and ambiguity, and are energised by building and improving systems in a dynamic, fast-moving business. This role won’t be for you if: You prefer clearly defined hierarchies and structured environments over fluid, cross-functional collaboration. You prefer high-level vision work and delegate the details without diving in yourself. You rely on others to document your thinking, decisions, or processes.
