Head of Finance

We are looking for a Head of Finance to lead and develop our finance function as Get-e continues to scale internationally. This is a key leadership role in our growth journey, combining strategic financial leadership with hands-on execution, commercial business partnering, and continuous improvement of our finance operations. You will be leading a team of four full-time employees.

As Head of Finance, you take ownership of financial reporting, planning, cash flow management, financial controls, and business performance insights. You work closely with the CFO and Leadership Team to translate financial and operational data into actionable insights, support strategic decisions, and drive profitable growth across the business.

A key priority will be to transform how finance operates through AI, automation, and smarter processes. You will identify and implement opportunities to improve efficiency, accuracy, and scalability across transactional finance processes, including procure-to-pay, accounts payable, reconciliations, and month-end close. You will champion the practical application of AI in finance, moving beyond experimentation to deliver measurable improvements in productivity, control, and decision-making.

You will also strengthen Get-e’s business control capabilities. This means not only developing the team's ability to understand and challenge business performance, but also personally taking an active role in analysing margins, profitability, cost drivers, and operational KPIs. You will help embed a culture of financial ownership and data-driven decision-making throughout the organisation.

This is a role for a commercially minded finance leader who combines strong technical foundations with a hands-on mentality, embraces technology, and enjoys building processes, capabilities, and teams in a fast-growing international environment.

As Head of Finance, you will report to the CFO and lead the finance team, setting its priorities, developing its capabilities, and ensuring the function can support the next phase of Get-e’s growth.

You will be a trusted business partner to the Leadership Team, working closely with departments including Sales, Customer Success, Operations, and other business stakeholders. You will ensure that financial reporting and analysis go beyond explaining historical results to actively influencing future performance.

You will take ownership of the end-to-end finance function, balancing reliable financial operations and compliance with forward-looking business control, technology-driven transformation, and strategic support.

You will be expected to lead through others while remaining hands-on where needed: from challenging commercial assumptions and building profitability models to improving workflows, implementing AI-enabled solutions, and resolving complex financial issues.
