About Eucalyptus

Were on a mission to make good health last a lifetime. More than 1 billion people live with obesity worldwide, driving preventable chronic conditions. Were here to build better long-term care.

Eucalyptus is now part of Hims & Hers, the global leader in personalised health and wellness.

Euc is the company behind Juniper, one of the worlds largest weight-management programs combining GLP-1 medication with personalised nutrition, movement support, and clinician-led care from prescribers, nurses, health coaches, pharmacists, and dietitians. Our published clinical research shows that our combined clinical and behavioural approach helps patients lose significantly more weight during their treatment with Juniper by four times.

Our Growth Story:

• Supporting patients living with obesity across our 5 markets
• Received selective NICE endorsement to provide services to the NHS
• Tailored our offering to thousands of patients in Australia, the UK, Germany, Japan and Canada.

About the role (What youll be doing)

We are entering an exciting phase of critical expansion across our EMEA region and are seeking a Lead Accountant to help build our EMEA Accounting function from the ground up. Youll be the most senior accountant in the Philippines, working directly alongside our UK-based finance lead and the broader global team. This is a foundational, high-impact hire that will play a key role in the future of our global accounting operations.

Youll work EMEA hours with APAC overlap (roughly 4 hours each side) to bridge time zones and ensure team presence across regions.

If you are someone energized by rolling up your sleeves, building from scratch, navigating ambiguity, and an environment of high ownership, this role is for you.

What youll do

• Own hands-on accounting responsibilities across reconciliations, journal entries, and bookings for EMEA entities
• Support the accounting setup and ongoing operations for new market launches
• Bridge time zones between the APAC and EMEA teams, ensuring continuity and presence across both regions
• Provide informal mentorship and knowledge-sharing to the Philippines-based accounting team
• Build processes where none currently exist, and improve existing ones as the business scales
• Collaborate closely with the Senior Managers for Accounting and Financial Control in Australia and the UK, and the broader GL team

What good looks like in this role

• The EMEA accounting function is stood up and running within the first six months, ready to support new market launches
• New market launches are supported without the existing team going into firefighting mode
• The Philippines team has a senior point of contact they can go to with questions, and knowledge transfer is happening naturally
• You are navigating high volume and ambiguity without needing hand-holding, and flagging issues proactively
• Senior finance leadership trust that the numbers are in good hands across the EMEA region

About you (Who you are)

• You have 8+ years of accounting experience, with clear progression into roles of increasing complexity
• You are CPA or CA qualified
• You have hands-on experience with reconciliations, general ledger management, and bookings; not just oversight
• You have international or offshore accounting experience, ideally in a global shared services environment
• You have exposure to EMEA accounting experience
• You have worked in or alongside an international shared services centre
• You are comfortable with EMEA hours and have ideally done something similar before
• You have a builders mindset and are energized, not unsettled, by ambiguity
• You can informally lead and mentor without needing a formal management mandate
• Big Four experience is welcome, though it is not a substitute for in-house, end-to-end accounting ownership
