About Heka
Employee benefits are broken. They often focus on the wrong things, appeal to only part of a team, or miss the mark entirely. We believe that benefits should add value for everyone, which is why everything we do is designed to make people perform at their best, every day.
We're the only platform focused on individual health, giving employees limitless choice to own their health and wellbeing journeys, whether that's mindfulness, nutrition, movement, a crisis, or a treat. All inside one employee benefit.
Right now, we're in a rapid period of growth. That means more customers, more partners, and more opportunities to shape how we operate.
The Opportunity
Our Business Operations Coordinator is going on maternity leave from October, and we’re looking for an experienced Operations & Finance Associate to provide essential cover across the role’s key finance and operational responsibilities. This is a 12-month, part-time fixed-term contract, working three days per week, with the possibility of a three-month extension depending on maternity leave arrangements.
This is a finance-heavy, detail-oriented role at the heart of how Heka runs. You’ll work closely with our Customer Success team across everything from invoicing and partner payments to member administration and operational support. We’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys the complexity of behind-the-scenes finance work and takes real pride in getting things right.
What You'll Be Doing
- Processing monthly invoices and managing partner payments accurately and on time
- Supporting our invoicing workflows, including CSV imports and billing data management
- Assisting with quarterly VAT-return
- Helping prepare ad-hoc reports for the wider team when required
- Handling member admin and making sure nothing falls through the cracks
- Collaborating with the Partnerships team to resolve supplier queries and discrepancies.
Who We're Looking For
You don't need to have done every part of this role before. Our team will help you settle in. But the following are important:
- Experience with finance administration, invoicing, or accounts with hands-on Xero or similar platform experience
- Strong working knowledge of Google Sheets or Excel, including XLOOKUPs, Pivot Tables, and more complex data analysis
- Exceptional attention to detail. You spot errors others miss and you care about getting things right
- A methodical, focused approach to complex or repetitive work. Finance tasks require patience as well as accuracy
- Strong written and verbal communication skills for both internal coordination and member-facing queries
- A proactive attitude. You see a task and you own it, without waiting to be asked twice
- Curiosity and an enjoyment of digging into complex problems to find the root cause
Bonus points for:
- Experience in a startup or scale-up where your role evolved well beyond the original job description
- A genuine interest in health, wellbeing, or working for a mission-led company
