Finance Lead

Finance Lead, (f/m/x) – Remote in DE, ES, IT or DK – SaaS/Greentech

Some people think working in finance is boring. But not you. You love numbers, excel is your friend, not your enemy.

Maybe working in a traditional finance firm/office is not really your vibe. You’d like to crunch those numbers in a fast-moving, cutting-edge tech business. You like the idea of remote working and being part of a global, multicultural team of down to earth people.

If you’re the kind of finance specialist that would rather go to work in a Patagonia hoody than a pin stripe business suit then we’re on the right tracks.
