About the role
Director of Finance to own Almedia's entire finance function and make the company investment- and exit-ready. Hands-on leadership role to build a scalable finance foundation, close books quickly, provide reliable reporting, and drive planning, cash control, and strategic finance decisions in a fast-growing, profitable marketplace.
Responsibilities
- Own the finance function end to end. Accounting, month-end close, controlling, tax and audit, working with our external partners and building the in-house team over time.
- Make Almedia investment- and exit-ready. Build the reporting, controls, data room quality and financial narrative a top-tier investor or acquirer would expect, and lead any financing or transaction process when it comes.
- Lead FP&A. Run budgeting, forecasting and scenario planning, and turn them into clear, decision-grade input for the founders and team leads.
- Run cash, treasury and unit economics. Manage liquidity, payment flows and working capital across a global, high-volume marketplace, and keep margins and payout economics under tight control.
- Build systems that scale. Choose and implement the tooling, processes and controls that let finance keep pace with a company growing this fast.
- Partner on strategic decisions. Support M&A, partnerships and build-vs-buy evaluations with the financial analysis needed to decide quickly.
Qualifications
- You've owned a finance function. 8+ years in finance, including several years as Head of Finance, VP Finance, Finance Director or CFO at a scale-up of roughly 30–1,000 people.
- You've made a company investment- or exit-ready. You have led a company through a funding round, due diligence, an audit or an exit, and built what that required.
- You're well-rounded. Hands-on experience across accounting and close, controlling, FP&A and cash management. Strategic finance, fundraising or M&A experience is a strong plus.
- You're a builder. You've set up finance processes, systems and reporting from scratch, not just maintained them.
- You're hands-on and fast. You'll own the numbers yourself and stay pragmatic and high-ownership in a fast-moving environment.
- You communicate clearly. You can explain the numbers simply to founders, team leads, investors and auditors.
