Descripción del empleo

Build the finance function of a rapidly scaling US gaming company.

Our client is a fast-growing US social gaming Super-App combining two highly complementary consumer experiences within a single platform:

• Sweepstakes Social Casino — a rapidly growing portfolio of casino games built around a dual‑currency sweepstakes model.
• Digital Collectibles / Ripping Packs — a digital collectibles experience where users open packs containing real sports and trading cards, with the ability to instantly sell them back or have them shipped.

Both verticals operate within the same ecosystem, sharing the user base, VIP programme, payments infrastructure and lifecycle strategy. This creates significant cross‑sell opportunities between two high‑monetisation categories while allowing the business to acquire and monetize users through multiple entry points. The company is growing at approximately 50% month‑on‑month and scaling rapidly across the US. Backed by leading gaming and technology investors, the business has raised significant capital to accelerate its growth.

Our client is now entering its next phase of scale, with increasing investment across user acquisition, new products, VIP and retention, payments infrastructure and cross‑sell.

We are looking for a Head of Finance to build and lead the finance function through this next stage. This is a broad, highly hands‑on leadership role spanning FP&A, reporting, cash and working capital, unit economics, payments, fundraising, debt facilities and financial operations. You will work directly with the founders and leadership team and play a critical role in determining how the company scales.

The Role:

As Head of Finance, you will own the financial infrastructure required to support a rapidly growing, multi‑product consumer business.

You will bring together financial performance, growth economics, cash management and capital strategy into a single view of the business.

FP&A & Business Performance

• Build and lead the company's FP&A function.
• Own annual budgets, forecasts and financial planning.
• Develop daily, weekly and monthly financial reporting.
• Build models that connect growth, revenue, costs, cash and profitability.
• Analyse performance against plan and identify key drivers of variance.
• Provide founders and leadership with clear financial insight for decision‑making.

Unit Economics & Growth Finance

• Develop and maintain cohort‑level financial models.
• Analyse CAC, ROAS, payback, retention, ARPPU, LTV and contribution economics.
• Connect UA investment with deposits, revenue, redemptions and net cash.
• Help determine how much capital can safely be reinvested into user acquisition.
• Work closely with Growth to evaluate channels, campaigns and cohorts.
• Build financial frameworks for new products and growth initiatives.

Cash & Working Capital

• Own cash flow forecasting and working capital management.
• Maintain visibility across bank accounts, payment processors and operating balances.
• Forecast incoming settlements and outgoing obligations.
• Manage liquidity requirements across user redemptions, UA, payroll, vendors and providers.
• Identify and address potential cash constraints before they become operational issues.

Payments & Financial Operations

• Oversee financial flows across payment providers, purchases, redemptions, refunds and chargebacks.
• Own reconciliation processes and financial controls.
• Investigate discrepancies between internal systems, payment providers and banking data.
• Improve the reliability and automation of financial reporting.
• Partner with Product, Engineering, Data and Operations to strengthen financial infrastructure.
• Support the company's fundraising strategy and financial planning.
• Manage reporting and financial analysis for investors.
• Own visibility across debt and growth financing facilities.
• Track repayment schedules, interest, fees, covenants and outstanding balances.
• Build scenarios to understand capital requirements and repayment capacity.
• Help leadership make informed decisions around the use of equity, debt and operating cash.

Business & Strategic Finance

• Beyond reporting the numbers, you'll help leadership understand:
• Where should we invest?
• How quickly can we scale?
• What is the true economics of each cohort?
• How should we finance growth?
• Where are the biggest financial risks and opportunities?
• You'll be expected to turn complex data into clear, actionable recommendations.
