About the Company

Senior Finance Manager | London | Join a company scaling at incredible speed

A rapidly growing, venture-backed AI intelligence company is hiring a Senior Finance Manager to help lead its next phase of growth.

£70,000 - £80,000 plus equity

In just a short period of time, our client has become a recognised global benchmark within the financial services and AI space — partnering with some of the world’s largest financial institutions and backed by leading technology investors. Now they’re entering a major scaling phase.

Over the coming years, the business expects to grow from 50 to 120+ employees globally, and they are specifically looking for someone who has already experienced that kind of high-growth journey inside a start-up or scale-up.

This is not a traditional finance role. They need someone who understands what happens operationally inside companies growing this quickly — someone who has built systems while teams are expanding, managed complexity as processes evolve, and partnered closely with leadership during periods of rapid change.

  • London-based | Hybrid working
  • Share options
  •  earning & development budget
  • Private healthcare

For finance professionals who enjoy building, scaling and operating in ambitious high-growth environments, this is a rare opportunity to have genuine influence inside a company defining the future of AI in financial services.

Role Details

Why this opportunity stands out:

  • A chance to own and shape the finance function during a critical growth phase
  • Direct exposure to leadership, strategic planning and fundraising activity
  • High impact across the entire business, not just finance
  • The opportunity to build scalable infrastructure from the ground up
  • A front-row seat in one of the most exciting areas of AI and financial services

Skills Required

They are particularly interested in candidates who have worked inside:

  1. fast-growing start-ups or scale-ups
  2. venture-backed businesses
  3. companies scaling from roughly 50 ? 120+ people
  4. environments where adaptability, pace and commercial thinking are essential

Ideal experience includes:

  1. 3–6+ years in finance or management accounting
  2. experience building a finance function from the ground up
  3. strong forecasting and reporting capability
  4. experience operating autonomously in fast-moving environments
  5. confidence building processes and improving systems
  6. a commercial, builder mentality
