Head of Finance Operations | High-Growth AI Start-Up
Location: London
Salary: £90,000–£110,000 + 10% pension
About the Opportunity
I’m partnering with an exciting high-growth AI start-up in London to appoint a Head of Finance Operations. This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious Senior Finance Manager or Financial Controller looking to step into their first Head of Finance Operations position, with the opportunity to progress relatively quickly to Director of Finance Operations as the organisation continues to scale.
This isn't about inheriting a finished finance function. You'll be given the autonomy to build, improve and shape it.
Key Responsibilities
- Ownership of management reporting, budgeting and forecasting
- Building scalable finance processes, systems and controls
- Leading year-end, audit and financial reporting
- Oversight of AP, AR, payroll, VAT and treasury
- Cash flow management and longer-term financial planning
- Improving and automating finance processes
- Partnering with senior stakeholders across the organisation
- Supporting wider strategic and operational projects
- Helping define how the finance function develops as the organisation grows
