Finance & Legal · London, England, United Kingdom · Full-time · Senior level
The first full time finance hire, owning accounting, compliance and reporting across two entities while preparing the company for a funding round. A strong candidate brings a real accounting foundation plus hands on scale up experience, can build budgets and models, and is comfortable doing the day to day work while setting up processes that will scale. Accuracy, ownership and clear communication to non finance colleagues and investors matter as much as technical skill.
How it fits the AI era
Much of the routine finance operations work, from payables and invoicing to expense handling, can be automated, and the posting explicitly asks for an automation and AI first approach. What stays human is judgement: interpreting variances, explaining numbers to investors, running due diligence and designing controls that fit a growing company. The role sits where tooling speeds up the work but accountability for the numbers remains personal.
How it builds AI experience
This role offers a chance to put AI tools into practice by automating finance operations end to end, which builds hands on experience with the FinOps stack and workflow automation. Because the company works on computational biology models, the finance hire also gains exposure to how an AI native company operates and reports to investors. Building fluency with AI tools and simple automated processes before applying would strengthen a candidacy.
Worth showing
- Multi entity consolidation
- Budget and forecast models
