Join a well-established investment firm with a strong track record backing high-growth, innovation-driven companies. With significant assets under management and a collaborative, hands-on culture, the firm is continuing to expand across technology and other dynamic sectors.

This is a senior leadership role within a lean, high-performing team, offering strong visibility with senior stakeholders, the opportunity to shape and scale a core finance function, and a flexible hybrid setup.

There is a strong focus on modernization and process improvement. This is not a maintenance role.

A forward-thinking approach to systems, automation, and emerging tools is highly valued.
