Job description

QuantWare is building the hardware foundation for the future of quantum computing. Through its unique VIO™ technology, the company is overcoming the architectural limitations that have held quantum processors back and unlocking the path towards MegaQubit quantum systems.

Following the largest Series B funding round ever raised by a Dutch deep-tech company (€152 million), QuantWare is entering a defining phase of growth. As the company scales, Finance plays a critical role in building the transparency, discipline and insight required to support strategic decision-making and continued growth.

• Financial reporting & governance: strengthening the monthly and annual reporting cycle, IFRS framework, accounting policies and financial controls
• Process improvement & internal control: improving financial processes, audit readiness and governance frameworks
• Finance transformation & projects: supporting ERP, reporting, consolidation and automation initiatives, translating requirements into practical solutions
• Stakeholders: CFO, VP Finance, Finance Operations, auditors, accounting specialists and business stakeholders across QuantWare

In this role, you become one of the key builders of the Finance organization behind one of the world’s most ambitious deep-tech companies. You strengthen accounting governance, reporting quality and internal controls to support QuantWare’s next stage of growth, while helping preserve the speed, ownership and entrepreneurial mindset that define the company today.

Your mission is to build the accounting and reporting foundation that allows QuantWare to scale with confidence. You take ownership of the accounting framework, ensuring policies, reporting standards and financial processes are clearly defined, consistently applied and aligned with IFRS. You establish the controls, responsibilities and ways of working required for reliable decision-making, while translating accounting requirements into practical solutions that fit a rapidly scaling technology company.

A key part of your role is strengthening the finance cycle and reporting foundation. You improve month-end and year-end closing processes, ensure accurate and timely reporting, and further develop the IFRS reporting framework. You support complex accounting matters, document key accounting judgments and strengthen the processes and controls required for an increasingly mature audit and reporting environment.

Beyond the recurring cycle, you help shape how Finance operates as QuantWare scales. You identify opportunities to improve processes, increase automation and create a more scalable finance infrastructure. You contribute to finance transformation initiatives across ERP, reporting and consolidation, ensuring new systems, processes and controls are successfully embedded across the organization.

Good to know

What makes this opportunity particularly attractive is the stage QuantWare is at today. As the company continues to grow, Finance has an important role to play in supporting its ambitions and further strengthening the organisation. The combination of groundbreaking technology, strong investor backing and an entrepreneurial culture creates an environment where you can have a tangible impact. Working closely with leadership and across a broad scope, you will have the opportunity to help shape Finance while developing alongside a highly ambitious deep-tech company.

Who are you?

We are looking for a finance professional who combines strong technical expertise with a pragmatic, hands‑on mindset. You have a solid foundation in financial reporting, IFRS and internal control, and enjoy translating complex requirements into practical solutions that support business growth.

You bring structure to evolving environments, take ownership and balance attention to detail with a broader perspective. You are down-to-earth, collaborative and comfortable working with highly skilled colleagues across different disciplines. You simplify complexity, ask the right questions and build trust through expertise and collaboration.

At QuantWare, you’ll be part of a highly talented team working at the forefront of quantum technology. You will join an ambitious, fast-moving environment where engineers, scientists and business professionals collaborate to solve complex challenges. We value curiosity, ownership and a low-ego mindset, with the opportunity to make a visible impact as part of a shared mission.
