The responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

1. Collaborating directly with the founder on all finance and accounting matters.
2. Assisting with launching the brand in new target markets.
3. Building cash flow reporting and analysis to provide short- and long-term recommendations.
4. Applying a commercial mindset to cash flow management.
5. Handling core finance operations such as payroll, accounts payable/receivable, and general bookkeeping.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate:

• Experience working in a growth environment.
• Experience managing core finance operations within an SME, either in industry or as an in-house finance professional in practice.

The brand's showroom is based in London, but this role can be performed remotely, with occasional travel to London (approximately once every 2-3 weeks).
