About the role

We are looking for a Director of Finance & Operations who will be a core member of the leadership team at a pivotal moment in our growth. You will own everything from the financial model behind our Series B story to the planning, budgeting, and metrics that run the business day to day. This is not a reporting seat: you will interrogate the numbers, surface issues with a point of view, and act as a genuine sparring partner to the CEO on the decisions that shape how we scale. If you thrive in fast-moving environments, love building, and want a seat at the table where strategy meets execution, this is the role for you.

🎯 What You Will Do

• Financial modelling & investor numbers. Own the financial model and the metrics behind our Series B story. Build the numbers, scenarios, and reporting that investors and the board rely on. The CEO and CRO run the raise itself; you make the numbers bulletproof.
• FP&A. Own planning, budgeting, forecasting, and scenario modelling, plus the metrics that run the business: ARR, NRR, burn, runway, and unit economics.
• Strategy & OKRs. As a member of the management team, own the strategic planning rhythm: facilitate the OKR and objective-setting process across leadership, keep it on cadence, and track progress against goals. The team sets strategy; you make the process run and hold it accountable.
• Strategic finance. Be the CEO's sparring partner on pricing, hiring plans, capital allocation, and longer-term strategic options as we scale.
• Finance operations oversight. Own the integrity of accounting, cash management, and reporting, working with our bookkeeper and auditor. You own the numbers, not the bookkeeping.
• Team leadership. Lead and develop a young, talented team.

🙌 You'll thrive here if you...

• 4 to 8 years in finance or strategy. Either a finance background in FP&A, strategic finance, or VC/PE ready to grow into broader ownership, or a top-tier consulting background with heavy financial modelling experience ready to move into an operating seat.
• Financial judgment & ownership of the "so what." You don't just produce numbers, you interrogate them. You know a figure on a board slide is a message: you understand what's driving it, whether it's real, the consequences, and how to position it before it's presented. You surface issues with a point of view, not raw output.
• Exceptional financial modelling and analytical horsepower. Fluent in SaaS metrics and have built models that stood up to real investor or board scrutiny.
• A structured thinker who brings rhythm and rigour to strategic planning, thrives in fast-moving environments, and builds rather than just manages.

💎 Why All Gravy

• Grow fast, for real. We promote from within, move quickly, and give you real responsibility from day one.
• A culture that actually develops you. Honest feedback, active coaching, and the autonomy to experiment. We invest in you because your growth is our growth.
• Work that matters. Your work will directly impact the daily lives of millions of frontline workers.
• You'll work with people who've built, scaled, and won. Ex-founders, operators, all here because they want to do it again, bigger.
• The good stuff too. Prime office location, team lunches, Friday bars, padel tournaments, wine tastings, offsites, top-tier equipment, and a fridge that's always stocked. We work hard and celebrate harder.
