Job description

Money, it's a big problem for many. Our mission is to give everyone access to a richer life, helping everyone to enjoy a happier, healthier relationship with money. We've already helped over a million people by giving them the tools they need to achieve their goals, feel good, and do a little better — from building their credit scores to growing their savings, to just understanding how it all works. Rapid experimentation to find what works and learn as much as we can is at the heart of our growth story.

What you'll do

We’re looking for a Finance Director who’s not just financially sharp, but growth-minded, customer-focused, and thrives on collaboration. You’ll be a strategic partner across the entire organisation, helping to build the engine that scales Loqbox sustainably and intelligently.

Above all, you’ll use finance to tell a clear, confident story—guiding the team and Board from decisions to outcomes.

If you want to shape strategy, fuel growth, and drive real-world impact—this is where finance becomes the engine of change.

Strategic partnership and leadership

• Act as a trusted partner to the CEO and senior leadership team, providing financial insights and guidance.
• Be a key member of the senior leadership team
• Lead finance’s role in the OKR process—ensuring goals are grounded in reality and aligned to what drives value.
• Establish investor relations and Board communication—building trust through clear, insightful storytelling.
• Mentor and develop a high-performing finance team
• Turn complex models into usable tools —tailoring messages for new joiners, execs, or Board members alike.

Financial strategy

• Set financial strategies in partnership with Product, People, Marketing, Support, Ops, and Data—anchored in customer value.
• Lead finance transformation initiatives that increase efficiency, accuracy, and scalability of financial operations.
• Maintain customer economic models (CAC, LTV, payback, retention by segment/cohort) that inform budgeting, forecasting, and growth decisions.

Planning, forecasting, and performance

• Own quarterly and annual budgeting, reforecasting, and scenario planning—adapting in real time with others as we scale and innovate.
• Work with functional leads to understand performance drivers and improve outcomes.
• Define and monitor key metrics across efficiency, retention, growth, and profitability.

Finance operations, controls, and risk

• Oversee all core finance operations—treasury, payroll, AP/AR, financial reporting, and compliance.
• Build and maintain robust financial controls and risk management practices that support smart, sustainable growth
• Ensure financial systems are efficient, automated, and built to scale.
• Stay ahead of regulatory requirements, including FCA-related compliance, audit readiness, and best practices.

About You

• Proven experience as a Finance Director or in a senior finance leadership role in a fast-growing business (bonus if it’s consumer tech, subscription, or fintech).
• Experience working as part of a senior leadership team.
• Strong strategic thinking and commercial acumen.
• Confident with customer metrics—CAC, LTV, payback, retention, cohorts.
• Skilled in financial modelling, scenario planning, and building dynamic budgets.
• Strong communicator, including with investors and Boards—able to tell a clear story with numbers.
• Proven ability to lead and deliver finance transformation and scaling initiatives.
• Strong grasp of financial regulations (ideally including FCA).
• Experienced in systems, automation, and scaling finance operations.
• Effective team leader with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Competitive salary - based on your level of experience
• Annual bonus
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, a day off in your birthday month, variable Christmas closure
• Enhanced parental leave package
• Pirkx employee reward scheme; telephone GP, free counselling, high street discounts, and more
• Hybrid working with access to our Bristol office and access co-working spaces nationwide
