• Strong background in operational finance, including financial process optimization and system implementation
• Proven track record of managing complex stakeholder relationships
• Experience leading cross-functional teams and managing multiple concurrent projects

Bonus points

• Technical proficiency in understanding and discussing system integrations, APIs, and financial data flows
• Knowledge of financial data structures and reporting frameworks
• Understanding of accounting systems integration and automation

- 💸 A competitive salary + stock options in our fast-growing start-up.

- 🍼 Paid parental leave.

- 🏝 25 days of annual leave + public holidays in the country where you are based.
