About The Job

We’re expanding rapidly, and to support our Finance Team, we’re looking for a Head of Finance (d/f/m), who can set the finance strategy, bring structure and automation to a growing business, and make sure every decision is grounded in healthy unit economics and cash discipline across multiple legal entities and markets.

• Ensure compliance: Coordinate tax, audit and statutory topics (incl. EU/OSS VAT) with external partners; set controls and policies.
• Make it scalable: Introduce automations, improve tools and dashboards, and establish a clear finance calendar and consistent ways of working.
• Partner the business: Work closely with Founders, Buying, Production (Portugal), E-com and Operations on pricing, promotions, launches and channel decisions, always with margin and inventory in view.
• Steer cash & capital: Manage banking and payment partners; optimize working capital; advise on loans, credits and funding processes.
• Build the team: Lead and mentor a small team (1–2 to start) and grow the function as the brand scales.

About You

• 7+ years in Finance, with proven experience in e-commerce (ideally within fashion/lifestyle) and in a multi-entity international setup.
• Strength in Controlling/FP&A, budgeting, forecasting and financial modelling; you turn data into a clear direction.
• Solid grasp of accounting, MEC/YEC and compliance; experienced working with external accountants, tax and audit.
• A builder’s mindset, hands-on, precise, and automation-minded; you raise the bar on speed, quality and control.
• Clear communication with founders and non-finance teams; high ownership and follow-through.
• Advanced Excel/Google Sheets; finance/BI tooling experience is a plus.
• English fluency; German is a plus.
