Finance and Operations 'FinOps' Manager - Contractor

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

RORA Contractors

Contracting is great - you get to be the boss.

But it can leave you out on your own with no real support and no one to learn from.

And it's tough to always be worrying about where your next client is coming from.

So, we've re-designed how we work with contractors. You get the freedom and control you're looking for, with the training and support of being in a wider team.

FinOps Manager

Our FinOps Managers work with some of the most exciting startups in the UK, and beyond.

We're looking for contractors who want flexible, ad hoc work that will make up the majority (over 50%) of the work you do. You'll be paired with roles that suit your skills best.

As a FinOps Manager, you'll work directly within our partners' teams managing the delivery of finance and operational tasks. You'll be working with them - and managing the rest of the FinOps team (usually one of our FinOps Associates) - to build world-class finance and ops processes,

What you'll be doing

We promise work that excites and challenges you with some of the most exciting, and fast growing businesses in the UK. You'll get hands-on experience working across multiple start-ups and scale-ups, from day one.

With startups, no two days are the same but you can expect to take on the following sorts of things:

• In their office, or on Zoom, working directly with founders and CFOs as a part of their team
• Overseeing and managing all Finance and Ops processes across multiple partners at the same time
• Designing and building financial processes, iteratively looking for improvements
• Optimising processes and systems, integrating new cutting-edge tools
• Coaching and developing the FinOps Associate team

It's a hybrid UK-based role - for those able to come into London roughly weekly.

You can flex how you work to suit you: wfh, at your partners' offices or in our office near London Bridge but we ask you're available to be in London from time-to-time.

You can pick what days you'd like to work with us. However, the team gets together every Wednesday morning, and you'd be expected to be available for the same

Sounds good?
