Talentedge have been exclusively engaged by a high-profile VC backed consumer subscription startup to identify their first permanent Finance Director, taking over the reins from an experienced Fractional.

• Analyse, report on and track D2C & SaaS KPIs (financial and non-financial)
• Build various financial models to support business decision making
• Play a lead role on the creation and review of new business cases (for example a B2B play or launching into new geographies)
• Partner all functions across the business, with a particular focus on Product & Engineering + GTM

• MBA is advantageous however non-essential
• Advanced financial modeller (scenario, sensitivity & 3-way integrated financial statements ideally)
