Job description

Our Journey

ShopBack began in 2014 as a late‑night spark of inspiration between Henry and Joel — not just to build a Cashback platform, but to reimagine how brands and consumers connect. As former advertisers, they understood the limitations of traditional marketing, and saw an opportunity to deliver more value on both sides. That idea quickly turned into action, and the first prototype was built over a weekend with the other co‑founders. Today, ShopBack serves over 50 million users across 13 markets, partners with 20,000+ merchants, and powers over half a million transactions daily. We're building The World's Most Rewarding Way to Shop — and looking for bold, driven individuals to join us.

The Contract Finance Executive in a Shared Services Team is responsible for executing and overseeing financial operations across multiple business units. This role focuses on ensuring the accuracy, timeliness, and consistency of financial transactions, reporting, and compliance within the shared services framework. The Finance Executive will collaborate with various departments to deliver centralized financial services and ensure that financial processes adhere to internal controls, company policies, and regulatory standards. Key Responsibilities:
