You will own everything from the financial model behind our Series B story to the planning, budgeting, and metrics that run the business day to day. This is not a reporting seat: you will interrogate the numbers, surface issues with a point of view, and act as a genuine sparring partner to the CEO on the decisions that shape how we scale. If you thrive in fast-moving environments, love building, and want a seat at the table where strategy meets execution, this is the role for you. 🎯 What You Will Do Financial modelling & investor numbers. Own the financial model and the metrics behind our Series B story. Build the numbers, scenarios, and reporting that investors and the board rely on. The CEO and CRO run the raise itself; you make the numbers bulletproof. FP&A. Own planning, budgeting, forecasting, and scenario modelling, plus the metrics that run the business: ARR, NRR, burn, runway, and unit economics. Strategy & OKRs. As a member of the management team, own the strategic planning rhythm: facilitate the OKR and objective-setting process across leadership, keep it on cadence, and track progress against goals. The team sets strategy; you make the process run and hold it accountable. Strategic finance. Be the CEO's sparring partner on pricing, hiring plans, capital allocation, and longer-term strategic options as we scale. Finance operations oversight. Own the integrity of accounting, cash management, and reporting, working with our bookkeeper and auditor. You own the numbers, not the bookkeeping. Team leadership. Lead and develop a young, talented team. 🙌 You'll thrive here if you... 4 to 8 years in finance or strategy. Either a finance background in FP&A, strategic finance, or VC/PE ready to grow into broader ownership, or a top-tier consulting background with heavy financial modelling experience ready to move into an operating seat. Financial judgment & ownership of the "so what." You don't just produce numbers, you interrogate them. You know a figure on a board slide is a message: you understand what's driving it, whether it's real, the consequences, and how to position it before it's presented. You surface issues with a point of view, not raw output. Exceptional financial modelling and analytical horsepower. Fluent in SaaS metrics and have built models that stood up to real investor or board scrutiny. A structured thinker who brings rhythm and rigour to strategic planning, thrives in fast-moving environments, and builds rather than just manages. 💎 Why All Gravy Grow fast, for real. We promote from within, move quickly, and give you real responsibility from day one. A culture that actually develops you. Honest feedback, active coaching, and the autonomy to experiment. We invest in you because your growth is our growth. Work that matters. Your work will directly impact the daily lives of millions of frontline workers. You'll work with people who've built, scaled, and won. Ex-founders, operators, all here because they want to do it again, bigger. The good stuff too. Prime office location, team lunches, Friday bars, padel tournaments, wine tastings, offsites, top-tier equipment, and a fridge that's always stocked. We work hard and celebrate harder.
