Are you a numbers person who also loves a challenge that changes by the week? Do you want to help build the financial backbone of a fast-growing, internationally scaling sports business?

About us

At MWS, we are on a mission to become the home of game-worn culture. We do this by connecting global fanbases to the ultimate fan item: game-used and signed shirts from the world's biggest athletes and brands around the world. We accelerate engagement, interaction, and revenue by enabling our customers to access pieces of sporting history, while raising funds for the causes that matter most to our partners. We do it all live from the moment the game starts. With more than 400 partners globally, we are the outright market leaders in our industry. We see ourselves as innovators, constantly looking for new ways to surprise and delight our audience.

About you

We're looking for a Finance Manager to lead and strengthen our Finance team as MWS continues to grow across borders. You'll manage a small, close-knit finance team, working directly with our Head of Finance, and playing a key role in getting our US expansion financially watertight while helping professionalize our reporting and systems

• Communication: Fluent English communicator, both written and verbal.

• Decision-Making: Proven ability to make sound decisions — you'll report directly into the Head of Finance, so a pro-active approach, problem-solving mentality, and the ability to spot what really matters are essential.

• Ambition: Drive and ambition to grow towards a Head of Finance position.

• International Outlook: Comfortable navigating the complexity that comes with a fast-growing, multi-entity, international business.

• Accounting Standards: Proven experience with Dutch GAAP or IFRS is a must; US GAAP is a plus.

• All equipment you need: We provide you with a MacBook and a mouse and keyboard of choice. Need anything else? Let's talk!
