Community Lead (UK)

About Mayday

We’re an accounting‑tech startup building automation and AI to eliminate the tedious manual spreadsheet‑based work that haunts in‑house finance teams every single month. We serve the mid‑market end of SMB: in‑house finance teams of 2–10 people. Our mission is to mend month end and enable real‑time accounting. We recently passed £1m ARR and are growing fast after four years in market, doubling our revenue in 2025. We’re in a phenomenal position as category leaders — evidenced by our strategic partnership with Xero and winning Xero’s Global People’s Choice Award, ahead of 1,200+ connected solutions. Our team spans the UK, Australia and South Africa, with the UK and Australia as our largest markets and North America now opened up as a growth focus. We’re founded by experienced entrepreneurs in David Tuck (ex‑CFO and founder of Chaser) and James Scott‑Griffin (former CTO at Idio/Optimizely and Rungway). Backed by elite investors, we’ve just raised a £3m seed round and are doubling the team to 24 as we accelerate the next phase of growth.

The Role

As Community Lead (UK), you’ll be the heartbeat of CFO Techstack on the ground in the UK. CFO Techstack is Mayday’s community for in‑house finance leaders building world‑class tech stacks with Xero at the core. Since launching in 2023, it’s grown to over 13,000 members and is the heart of a movement — finance teams scaling on Xero instead of defaulting to ERP. What we’ve built in APAC — deep community relationships, flagship events, a thriving partner ecosystem — has become a major source of credibility and pipeline for Mayday. It is a true community‑led growth engine. The foundations have been laid in the UK, but we need this role to take it to the next level. Reporting into our Head of Community (based in Adelaide, Australia), you’ll be responsible for building genuine relationships with our community, leading UK events, and ensuring the CFO Techstack experience feels real and valuable to members in your market. You’ll work closely with our CEO, Head of Growth, Head of Content and Head of Design, as well as our UK and global partner network. Given the timezone gap with your direct manager, you’ll be comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy day‑to‑day.

What you’ll be responsible for

• Building and nurturing the UK community
• Running UK events (and supporting APAC)
• Managing UK app partners and FTS consultants
• Contributing to the community product
• Supporting the commercial team

About You

You have worked in finance or accounting; you understand the language, the pressures, and the mindset of our members because you’ve lived it. You understand the pain they feel when month end lags. You’ve (likely) transitioned into accounting technology, either in a community, partnerships, events, or customer‑facing role; and you’ve discovered that your real superpower is building relationships, not closing deals. You’re energised by community‑building; you find genuine satisfaction in connecting people, facilitating great conversations, and helping others get value from what you’ve created. You’re a self‑starter who’s comfortable making sensible decisions without hand‑holding (especially important given the timezone dynamic with your manager in Australia). You’re warm, credible, and trusted. People feel heard when they talk to you (or read your writing), and you know how to hold a room (whether it’s 10 people at a roundtable or 200 at a flagship event). You’re organised and thorough; community work is relationship‑heavy, but coordinating events, partners and content requires attention to detail. You care deeply about being genuine; you’d rather build slow trust than chase a quick win, and can advocate strongly on behalf of the community.

The Details

• Salary £40‑70k depending on skills and experience; Share options from day 1
• 25 days’ paid holiday, plus public holidays
• 1–2 days a week in person in Central London; co‑working membership provided for remaining days if needed
• Opportunity to travel to Australia and attend Mayday’s APAC events at least once a year
• The global nature of the team plus time differences mean that some degree of early morning or evening calls is unavoidable. We will make sure the weight of those is borne evenly between you and the relevant team members.
