ABOUT US

We have two distinct businesses (but with unified processes), which means real variety in the finance function:

We’re200+ people, remote-first, and weoperatewith startup pace backed by established-company stability. We adopt new tools and ways of working proactively — including AI across the business — and we expect every function to pull its weight there. Finance is no exception.

Storyteller is our fast-growing SaaS business, enabling companies (think major global sports brands) to integrate Stories into their owned and operated platforms. This brings a different financial profile, producteconomicsand growth-stage dynamics.

Storm Ideas is a forward-thinking media agency, founded in 2008, working with globallyrecognisedclients across the US TV and entertainment industry. We produce content at scale, deliver operational services, and sit at the intersection of media, technology, and creativity.

It’sa rare combination that keeps the work interesting and develops a broader skill set than a single-entity role.

Embracing Future-Facing Technology

The finance function is changing fast. AI and automation are absorbing the routine work — reconciliations, variance analysis, management account prep — that used to fill most of a finance team’s week.

We’renot looking for someone who sees that as a threat. We want someone who sees it as an opportunity to spend their time on work that actually movesthe business forward: strategic analysis, cash flow optimisation, commercial decision support, and building finance systems that scale without headcount.

You’ll own the entire finance function across two businesses — a 200+ person media agency with major US entertainment clients and a fast-growing sports focused SaaS platform.

You’ll work independently, move quickly, and be expected to automate yourself out of the mundane so you can focus on what matters (this part is key). Importantly, youwon’tbe alone –you'llbe supported by 2 experienced Finance team members, with someassistancealso from our Client Services team.

Storyteller is a high growth B2B SaaS platform, which allows companies to integrate Stories into their owned and operated platforms. Popularized by Instagram and Snapchat, Stories are perfectly suited for boosting user engagement, audience retention, and driving advertising revenue.

Our end‑to‑end platform gives companies a best‑in‑class Stories experience in days with native iOS, Android, and Web SDKs, publishing tools, analytics, and ad support.

We work with many globally recognised clients, particularly within sport, so if you're a sporting fan this could be a great fit!

Strategic Finance & Decision Support

Core Finance Operations

• Ownership of cash flow management and forecasting
• Manage day-to-day accounting: billing, AP, AR, cost accounting. But the expectation is thatyou’re automating the repetitive elements, not drowning in them
• Lead management accounts preparation andensure reporting accuracy at all times
• Develop finance policies, internal controls, and compliance that are lean and proportionate to our scale

Automation, AI & Systems
