FD

Level: Senior

We're not just closing the digital divide; we're reconnecting distributed organisations, enabling seamless communication, and re‑engaging employees like never before. Blink, a mobile‑first employee experience platform, puts everything employees need right in their hands. With teams in Boston, London, and Sydney, we're making waves worldwide, partnering with industry leaders like Domino's, JD Sports and McDonald's.

You’ll be the FD’s right hand on commercial and strategic finance, own the agentic finance stack and play a key part in fundraising and capital allocation, partnering with the exec team on the decisions that shape Blink’s next stage of growth.

Forecasting and FP&A

• Forecasting infrastructure owned by finance end to end.
• Reporting rhythms the business actually uses.
• Ownership of finance and commercial analytics, the Fin Ops stack, and data quality.

AI and finance operations

• The agentic finance stack from FP&A augmentation through close acceleration, variance commentary, and scenario modelling.
• Project management of digital transformation.
• Billing agents that cut cycle time and tighten cash conversion.
• Tooling selection across Chargebee, Xero, the BI layer, and the agent runtime.
• Mentoring the Finance Graduate on agent design so the capability scales.
• SaaS metrics (NRR, GRR, CAC, payback, magic number, unit economics by segment and product) used to shape forecasts and investments.

Commercial

• Pricing and packaging end to end, from new‑product pricing and bundle design to renewal pricing and discount discipline.
• Value realisation frameworks across the sales and CS lifecycle.
• Direct support on strategic deals, renewals, and contract restructures.

Strategic

• Capital allocation: framing trade‑offs, owning the numbers, presenting options.
• The annual operating plan and budget, end to end.
• Headcount and capacity modelling with leadership and People Ops.
• Investment cases for major bets, each with a clear recommendation.
• Strategic and commercial sections of the board pack.
• Fundraising and debt financing alongside the FD: model, materials, diligence, banker engagement, term negotiation.

Background

• 6 to 8 years in consulting, investment, banking, strategic FP&A, or Biz Ops, with high‑growth SaaS or PLG exposure.
• You've owned pricing, unit economics, and the commercial finance conversation end to end.
• You’re comfortable in the room with the C‑suite.
• You’ve been part of a fundraise or material debt financing.
• You’ve built or scaled an FP&A function in a high‑growth environment — you know what good infrastructure looks like and you’ve done the work to get it there, not just inherited it.

Technical depth

• Investor‑grade financial modelling: three‑statement, scenario, cohort, unit economics.
• SQL fluency.
