Commercial Finance Business Partner
Location, Remote
£45,000 - £60,000
About the Role
The Finance team at Learnerbly is at an interesting stage of its development. We have just raised our Series A, and are in the process of implementing a number of growth initiatives and investment decisions. We are now starting to build out a highly effective finance team and implement scalable processes, and this role will be a key part of this phase of our growth.
Reporting to our Head of Finance Experience, Dan Evans 👋, this role will introduce the concept of Finance Business Partnering to our Operations, PX, Product, and Engineering teams, building out our processes, systems and reporting in these areas while showing them the value that can be added by a Finance business partner. 🤩
At Learnerbly we’re building a “Business Partnering First” Finance team. Our team is structured by the teams that we partner with, rather than your traditional Finance teams (think financial accounting, management accounting, Fin Ops). This means that we’re looking for well-rounded individuals who are capable of understanding all aspects of Finance for their partners in the business.
Here’s what you’ll be getting up to:
- Developing strong relationships with our leadership team (both at a Head of and C-suite level), becoming the “Finance brain” within their team and a trusted business partner, while also challenging them.
- Improving our processes following our Series A to enable us to be timely, accurate, and rigorous at scale.
- Ensuring that we have the right systems in place, and once implemented continuously working to improve our usage of them.
- Collating financial and non-financial data together to create reports and dashboards that enable our leadership team to better understand the business and equip them to make strategic decisions.
- Solving complex business problems by finding creative and innovative solutions. You’ll translate ambiguous situations into clearly defined outcomes - thriving in the 'grey'.
- Commercial Finance is viewed as the main pillar at our current stage of growth. This role would therefore own the wider finance tasks around the teams it partners to. For example a business partner to the Commercial team would be responsible for our billing process/system, and the accounting associated with it.
This role will be a great fit if:
- You’ve enabled a business to scale through a significant growth phase. We have 70 people now but plan to grow past 100+ this year.
- You're already a Business Partner who already loves working with teams outside of Finance and are excited to partner with new teams.
