Referment is working with one of Europe's fastest-growing AI companies to hire its first dedicated Financial Operations Lead.
This is a rare opportunity to build the finance function from the ground up inside a high-growth technology business. You'll work directly with the founders, taking ownership of finance operations, reporting, budgeting and cash management while introducing the systems and automation needed to support rapid international growth.
This isn't a traditional Financial Controller or CFO role. It's for someone who enjoys getting into the detail, fixing messy processes, and building a finance function that can scale.
The Role
You'll Be Responsible For
- Owning accounts payable and accounts receivable across the business.
- Managing invoicing, collections and cash flow to support continued growth.
- Running month-end close alongside external accountants and ensuring accurate financial reporting.
- Building the company's finance processes, controls and operating rhythms.
- Implementing finance systems and automating manual workflows using AI and modern tooling.
- Developing budgets, forecasts and financial models for hiring and commercial decisions.
- Supporting leadership with board reporting and investor metrics.
- Managing treasury, banking and liquidity across multiple international entities.
- Working closely with Sales and Revenue Operations to improve commercial reporting and collections.
- Supporting strategic projects including international expansion and corporate development
