THE ROLE

If you're an experienced finance professional who thrives at the intersection of finance, data and liquidity management, this is an opportunity to shape the future of B2B payments.

As our
Senior Finance Manager

, you will be leading the finance function of a dynamic fintech, building, operating, and playing a pivotal role in a key functional area of the business.

The role offers the breadth to own strategy, governance, and execution. One day you'll be assuring the movement of millions of dollars between parties, the next you'll be engaging with the board and external stakeholders. You'll also mentor the next generation of finance team members, embedding a culture of accuracy and efficiency across the function.

What makes this different from a traditional finance role? Data and technology. At Marmalade, your work won't sit siloed in a spreadsheet, but will be integrated cross-functionally and into the product. Insights and strategies move quickly into operation, driving informed decisions and greater efficiency.

If you want to push beyond legacy approaches to finance and make your mark in a fintech that values strategy and execution in equal measure, we'd love to talk.
