Finance Manager

About Tilt 🛸Tilt’s mission is simple: Make Commerce Alive. From static store website builders to impersonal marketplaces, today's ecosystem is aging fast. It was built for transactional experiences, not for the new generation of merchants who grow through attention, community and personality. In the UK alone, millions of shoppers, from sneakerheads and Y2K girlies to collectors and parents, have signed up to Tilt. Our platform has helped sellers go from zero to £1M+ in earnings, and hundreds more earn above the UK median income. And we are just getting started.

Your Mission 🫵 You’ll work hand-in-hand with Tilt’s founders and Finance team to tackle our biggest financial challenges and fuel our growth. This is a hands-on role with real impact. You’ll shape the financial engine that drives Tilt forward. You thrive in chaos, move fast, and find creative solutions. From deep data dives to leading strategic projects to high-stakes boardroom discussions, you’ll be across it all. As the connective tissue of our finance function, you’ll own the processes that keep our financials sharp and scalable: month-end, management accounts, investor reporting, tax ops. We’re looking for someone hungry, driven, and ready to reimagine the future of fashion. At Tilt, you won’t just keep the lights on. You’ll fuel the fire. This is a hybrid role with a minimum of 3 days a week at our King's Cross office (mandatory days Tuesday and Thursday + one day of your choice).

What You’ll Do 👷

• Dive into financial and non-financial data to spot patterns, build a live P&L engine, surface insights, and fuel smarter decisions.
• Own high-value finance workflows - payroll, VAT, investor reporting - not just to run them, but to master how they work so you can redesign and automate them.
• Build and automate systems with spreadsheets, AI Tools, SQL, or Python to make processes faster, smarter, and more scalable.
• Take charge of equity ops & lead on and automate filings (HMRC, Companies House, R&D claims, cap tables, option grants, EMI admin) - learning the details so you can streamline and level them up.
• Jump into any challenge - fix bottlenecks, solve problems, and keep momentum high.
• Equip the leadership team with the numbers and clarity they need to stay focused and move fast.

Who You Are 📋

• Experience in high-output, fast-paced environments.
• Experience in a finance and/or strategy role (Start-up, Consulting, Investment Banking & M&A company background preferable).
• Understanding of management accounting (month-end reporting, journal posting) and financial reporting (trial balances, financial statements and accounting principles).
• Must be analytical: capable of writing SQL, analysing their own data and able to draw conclusions from large datasets.
• Highly organised, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities with minimal hand-holding.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and thrives in chaotic, evolving situations.

Why Tilt 💫 You’ll be joining a mission-driven team backed by world-class investors (TechCrunch). You’ll own meaningful systems from day one, with real scope and autonomy. You’ll work alongside curious, kind, and wickedly smart teammates. You’ll help redefine how millions of people shop online.
