Senior Finance Manager - Financial Control

HEALF IS EUROPE'S FASTEST-GROWING COMPANY. Number one on the FT1000, number one on the Sifted 100. From £1m to over £100m in under three years, with a small, talent-dense team and an electric culture with day one founder intensity. Now we're aiming for £1bn in the next three. We curate the world's best wellbeing brands across The Four Pillars™: EAT, MOVE, MIND, SLEEP. That's the first chapter. THE NEXT CHAPTER IS HARDER AND MORE INTERESTING. We are moving from one market to many, from e-commerce to a technology platform, and from curating wellbeing to defining it. We are a health company, so we think we should act like one. At its fullest expression, Healf redefines what wellbeing means for tens of millions of people. None of that happens without discipline behind the numbers. As we scale from one market to many — and from e-commerce to a technology platform — Financial Control has to move at the same pace as the rest of the business, across every entity, brand, and geography we operate in. That's where this role comes in. We're hiring a Senior Finance Manager – Financial Control to act as No.2 to our Financial Controller, owning the day-to-day accuracy, discipline, and commercial edge of our finance operations as Healf scales toward £1bn.

In return, we will give you the same: everything we have, invested in your growth, your wellbeing, and the defining skills of the next decade. We have built the fastest-growing company in Europe with a team small enough that every person in it shapes the outcome. That is still true today.
