Work Buzz helps organisations thrive through change by bringing clarity without complexity to how they listen, learn, and act.

Our AI-powered platform makes it easy for mid and large-sized companies to gather real-time employee feedback, uncover what truly matters, and focus on the actions that drive engagement, performance, and retention. Trusted across industries, we combine smart technology with a human approach - helping leaders make better decisions, faster.

With £12.5m funding raised and growing quickly, Work Buzz is shaping the future of employee listening, and we're looking for mission driven people to join us!

This is a hands on role, working closely with senior leadership to turn complex financial and operational data into clear insights that inform strategic decisions. From investor reporting and performance analysis to forecasting and budgeting, you'll play a key role in helping the business understand where it's winning, where we could do better, and what to do next. You'll have visibility across the entire organisation and the opportunity to influence how we scale.

We're looking for someone who is commercially minded, intellectually curious, and comfortable operating in a dynamic environment. You enjoy getting into the detail but can also step back and explain the "so what" to non finance stakeholders. You'll be proactive, collaborative, and motivated by building better ways of working, whether that's improving processes, strengthening controls, or helping teams understand the financial impact of their decisions.
