About the Role We're looking for a Head of Finance Operations, Reporting and Policy to shape how finance works across Oritain- not just today, but as we scale for the future. This is a high-impact, hands on leadership role for someone who loves building strong foundations: smart processes, clear policies, and reporting that genuinely helps the business make better decisions. You'll take ownership of our financial operations and reporting delivery, driving continuous improvement and embedding ways of working that are robust, scalable, and fit for growth. You'll play a key role in strengthening financial governance across the organisation, ensuring our controls, frameworks and policies support both pace and precision. Working closely with senior leaders and teams across the business, you'll turn finance into a strategic enabler-providing insight, clarity, and confidence as we make ambitious decisions. If you're excited by the challenge of creating structure, driving operational excellence, and leaving a lasting imprint on how a growing business runs its finance function, this is a chance to build something meaningful. Key Responsibilities You'll take ownership of how finance runs day to day, continually improving core processes like accounts payable and receivable, month end close, and financial controls. You'll design and embed practical, scalable finance policies and procedures that support the business as it grows, while staying aligned to best practice and regulatory requirements. You'll lead the delivery of high quality internal reporting, making sure financial information is accurate, timely, and genuinely useful for decision making. You'll ensure strong group wide compliance with controls and external reporting standards, and own the audit process end to end, helping it run smoothly and land with minimal findings. Working closely with FP&A and the wider finance team, you'll make sure our reporting, forecasting, and operational processes are aligned and telling a consistent story. You'll also partner with teams across the business to embed finance operations into everyday ways of working, so finance supports momentum rather than slowing it down. You'll drive automation and system improvements using tools like NetSuite, Power BI, and Excel, build clear documentation and training to support adoption and manage risk, and track operational KPIs to spot opportunities for improvement. Alongside all of this, you'll lead and mentor a small team, creating a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and technical excellence. Skills & Experience You'll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with strong technical grounding and hands on experience across finance operations, reporting, and financial control, ideally gained in a fast growing or international environment. You've been in roles where you didn't just run processes, but improved them, with a proven ability to design and embed finance policies and ways of working that actually stick. You're comfortable working with finance systems and data, whether that's NetSuite (or similar ERP platforms like SAP or Oracle), Excel, or reporting tools such as Power BI, and you enjoy using them to make finance smarter and more efficient. You bring a sharp eye for detail, a naturally analytical mindset, and a practical approach to problem solving. Just as importantly, you're a clear, confident communicator who can work with and influence stakeholders across the business, helping to drive change in a constructive, collaborative way. You've led and developed teams before, and you thrive in fast paced, evolving environments where you're happy to stay hands on and close to the detail while still thinking strategically. Company Benefits Market rate salary, with bonus element Paid Leave-35 days (inclusive of public holidays) Birthday Off Volunteering Leave Allowance Enhanced Parental Leave Life Insurance Choice of Private Medical Insurance or an annual health check Critical illness cover Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) Pension Breakfast, Snacks, Friday lunch & Barista Coffee Machine in the office Learning Portal with over 100,000 assets available to support professional development Hybrid working set up (Minimum 3+ days, Farringdon-London) We believe great teams are built from different perspectives, experiences, and ways of thinking. We welcome applications from everyone and encourage you to bring your whole self to the process. If there's anything we can do to support you, including any reasonable adjustments at any stage of hiring, please let the team know.
