Job description

A bit about us

We're Doccla, the virtual ward company. We provide patients and clinicians with the transformative power of remote patient monitoring.

Our existing customers are Hospitals, Community Services, and NHS Commissioners that we partner with to deliver tech enabled virtual wards. With our technology, logistics, and support patients can be discharged from a hospital ward to a virtual one and recover in the comfort of their own homes. Patients love our care pathways and health services become more efficient; it's a win-win.

Doccla is a growing health tech startup; we have secured a £35ml at Series B, led by European VC Lakestar, with new investors French VC Elaia and existing investors General Catalyst, Speedinvest and the investment leg of German media company Bertelsmann also participating. We're solving real problems for patients and health systems and we are growing at exceptional speed. We're looking for dedicated people with a passion for solving the problems in healthcare.

This is your chance to join us at a key stage of our growth. Our ambition is to be a category leader for virtual healthcare. You will be joining a highly entrepreneurial team that combines technical, clinical, operational, and commercial colleagues.

At Doccla, we are on a mission to transform healthcare through our pioneering virtual ward technology, helping clinicians deliver better care and empowering patients to recover safely at home. As we continue to scale rapidly across the UK and Europe, we are looking for a Finance Manager who will play a key role in building a finance function that supports our ambitious growth.

In this role, you will report into the Head of Finance, and you will take ownership of our core accounting operations, regulatory and financial reporting, and the development of robust internal controls and processes that evolve with the business. You'll oversee critical areas such as month-end close, while also embracing the fast-paced nature of a scaling healthtech, handling ad-hoc projects with agility and a solutions mindset.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain group reporting processes including consolidation from start to finish. This requires working with local accountants and ensuring balance sheet recs are completed on time.
• Monitor and manage cash flow, ensuring liquidity for operations while supporting the growth of the business.
• Prepare and publish timely monthly financial statements and manage other internal reporting requirements.
• Ensure quality control over financial transactions and financial reporting.
• Manage and comply with all applicable legislation.
• Develop and document business processes and accounting policies to maintain and strengthen internal control.

Person Specification

• Must have good software experience with ERP's.
• At least 1-2 years of experience in finance or accounting, ideally within a start-up or scale-up environment (experience in health tech is a plus).
• Qualified accountant.
• Has a bias towards action and a desire for mission-driven work.
• Excellent attention to detail, accuracy, and organisational skills.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to interact across teams.
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

This role is hybrid between home and our HQ in Hammersmith, and we would expect the post holder to work in the office 3 days per week.

Don't worry if you don't have all of these; we value diverse skill sets and recognise that no one candidate will match all of these - we'd love to hear from you if this role seems like an interesting opportunity for you.

How we work

We empower everyone to take ownership and responsibility for the company and their role within it. We act ethically and think of helping patients and protecting their safety first.

Whatever your role is, to thrive at Doccla, a can-do and action oriented attitude is essential. As is being a clear and open communicator who is receptive to feedback.

Our team is hybrid with offices in London, Denmark, Germany & Stockholm. Most of the team lives in and around London and visits the office one to three times per week to enjoy in person meetings, free lunch with the team, and the general perks of a WeWork with a glorious barista. The extent of remote vs office working will depend on your role, as some roles have the flexibility to be fully remote.

We have an employee equity pool that you can be part of so that as the company continues to grow you'll have a share in its success.
