Job description

Chief Financial Officer | Transport & Logistics SaaS | Series B | London, King's Cross

About the business

We're working with a fast-growing software company serving the transport and logistics sector. Its platform has become a core part of how its customers run their operations, and those customers tend to stay and grow their usage over time. Revenue has scaled quickly without the heavy cash burn often seen at this stage, and a recent Series B has given the business the backing to invest harder in product and to hire ahead of demand.

The finance function has served the company well so far but was built for a smaller business. The next stage calls for a CFO who can take it from solid to genuinely strategic.

Why this role matters

The CEO is looking for a commercial number two rather than a controller. In practice that means being in the room when pricing, hiring and expansion decisions get made, and bringing both the numbers and the judgement to move those conversations forward. Preparing the business for its next raise, operationally and in the story it tells investors, will be an early priority.

What you'll be doing

  • Working alongside the CEO on the decisions that shape the business, from where the next pound of investment goes to how the company is positioned for its next round
  • Turning the financial model into something the leadership team uses week to week, rather than a spreadsheet that only appears at board meetings
  • Owning the relationship with existing investors and running point on the next fundraise
  • Building the reporting framework a SaaS business needs, covering the usual growth and retention measures as well as the unit economics specific to the sector
  • Running planning, forecasting and monthly reporting so the output answers questions rather than just describing the past
  • Assessing the financial case for new products and new markets before the business commits
  • Building the team, systems and controls the company will need as it continues to scale
  • Keeping statutory reporting, controls and audit readiness in good order across all entities

You'll need

  • A recognised accountancy qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
  • Experience as a senior finance leader in a backed B2B SaaS business, ideally one you helped scale through a comparable stage
  • Real experience of managing investors and running a fundraise, not just supporting one
  • The ability to build and interrogate a complex model yourself, including scenarios and cohort analysis, rather than delegating it
  • A track record of raising the standard of financial thinking wherever you've worked

Nice to have

  • Background in transport, logistics, supply chain or another business with a physical cost base
  • Familiarity with usage-based or consumption pricing

Package

£160k to £180k, plus bonus and equity

Location

King's Cross, London, hybrid
