Head of Finance

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

We are Resi, the UK's number one home extension company, and we are looking to hire a Head of Finance to join our management team on a full-time permanent basis. If you are looking to accelerate your career and work with full accountability alongside the founders and leadership then this role is for you.

At Resi, we help everyday homeowners design, finance, and build their dream homes without the stress and, most importantly, without breaking the bank.

Our north star is to provide Happy Homes on a national scale.

As Head of Finance, you will be fully accountable for the finance operations at Resi. You'll take full ownership of the finance function from the day-to-day operations, and accounting/reporting to strategic financial planning and business partnering. You'll also play a key role in economic strategy and fundraising alongside the founders and will lead on budgeting and cost control.
