Director Finance Platform

As Director of Finance Platform, you will provide strategic and operational leadership across a large breadth of Helsing's Finance function, covering accounting & reporting, treasury, tax compliance, and accounts payable. With a span of responsibility that touches every part of the business, from how we manage our treasury and accounts payable, to how we account for revenue, plan our finances, and fulfil our tax obligations, this role is fundamental to how Helsing operates, grows, and maintains the trust of its customers, partners, and investors. Reporting directly to the Finance Director, this role is responsible for translating finance strategy into robust and efficient operational delivery, ensuring the function operates with the controls, structure, systems and rigour expected of a fast-scaling, mission-driven technology company. The breadth of this role creates significant influence across multiple functions and leadership teams, from Product and Engineering through to Commercial and People, making this as much a business leadership role as a finance one.

Strategy & Planning

• Partner with the Finance Director and Finance Transformation team to establish strategic plans and objectives for the Finance Platform function, and ensure these are effectively cascaded and executed across the team.
• Contribute to the development of policies and operating frameworks relevant to Finance.
• Play a leading role in creating a high performing finance leadership team and in enabling the broader organization through the many financial areas that underpin the smooth running of the business and execution of new strategic business initiatives.

Accounting & Reporting

• Ensure accounting operations, month-end close, and statutory reporting are delivered accurately and on time across all entities.
• Maintain a robust control environment and ensure accounting policies remain appropriate as the business evolves.
• Serve as the senior Finance lead for all internal and external audits, including statutory audits across Helsing's legal entities. This also means that you will be taking the lead in our future Audit Committee.
