This is the lead finance role for Brainlabs’ North America region. You’ll sit on the NAmer Leadership Team alongside the CEO, COO, Chief Product Officer, Chief Planning & Data Officer and Chief Revenue Officer, acting as the financial conscience and strategic partner to a leadership group that’s building and scaling the region.

The role isn’t primarily about keeping score, we have a strong accounting foundation with a capable team underneath you. It’s about shaping decisions: partnering with the CEO and leadership team to drive forecasting, analysis and commercial insight that directly influences how the region grows.

• Leadership team partnership — Serve as the primary finance partner to the NAmer CEO and leadership team. Translate financial data into strategic insight. Challenge plans, pressure‑test assumptions, and ensure financial rigour in regional decision‑making.
• Forecasting & planning — Own the NAmer forecasting process end‑to‑end: revenue, cost, headcount, margin, EBITDA, net profit & cash. Complete monthly rolling validated forecasts that leadership uses to steer the business.
• Analysis & commercial insight — Deliver the analysis that unlocks better decisions — client profitability, resource utilisation, scenario modelling, investment cases. Proactively surface risks and opportunities rather than waiting to be asked. Explain in the context of the validated forecasts so peers are still clear on One Version of the Truth.
• Cash flow & working capital — Oversee cash flow management and working capital across the NAmer region, ensuring liquidity and financial health are actively monitored and managed.
• Compliance & controls — Ensure robust compliance across NAmer financial operations including tax, statutory filings, audit, payroll and regulatory requirements. You won’t be doing the returns yourself, but you’re accountable for them being right and on time.
• Team leadership — Manage and develop the NAmer finance team ensuring a focus on finance capability for the future, in a changing environment.
• Systems, AI & transformation — Embrace and drive adoption of AI tools and new technology in line with the Group finance strategy. Continuously evaluate how the finance function operates and push for better, faster, smarter ways of working.
• Group alignment — Work closely with the Group CFO to deliver the Brainlabs Group Finance Strategy. Ensure NAmer finance is connected to group reporting and represent NAmer finance clearly and credibly at group level.

• Qualified through a recognized accounting body (CPA or equivalent) — this is a must‑have — with 12+ years finance experience with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role.
• Professional services, tech‑enabled services or media background is also non‑negotiable.
• Proven finance leader with experience as a regional Finance Director or VP of Finance within a fast‑paced professional services or agency environment.
• Comfortable operating at leadership table level — you don’t just present numbers, you tell the story that leads to actionable insight.
• Deep forecasting and analytical capability. You build models that work and tell stories that land.
• Curious about AI and technology — you see these as tools to elevate finance, not threats to resist.
• Strong enough technically to oversee compliance and audit, but your real value is upstream: planning, insight, influence. We report under IFRS but accounting policies are set from Group finance.
• Experience managing and developing finance teams, with a genuine interest in people progression.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and pace. We’re a founder‑led, PE‑backed business that moves fast.

• Radical Clarity — You tell it straight. No sugarcoating performance, no hiding behind complexity. Leadership gets the real picture.
• Big‑Lever Bias — You focus your energy on the analysis…
