Reports to: CEO

Bikmo is entering a pivotal phase as we transition from a growth-focused insurtech to a profitable, pan-European MGA, while continuing to scale responsibly and position the business for long-term value creation.

We are seeking an experienced Finance Director to provide strategic financial leadership at exec and board level, own and control the group financial business plan and long-term financial model, support investor and lender relationships, mentor the Head of Finance, and help shape the financial strategy of the business as we move toward profitability, selective M&A, and a potential trade exit in the coming years.

• Pricing strategy

• Support and guide the Head of Finance, who leads ongoing day-to-day cash and facility management

• Prepare, review, and present financial materials for board meetings
• Support fundraising strategy, investor narrative, and financial diligence
