Head of Finance

Do you want to have real influence in shaping the future of a law firm? This is your chance to own the finance function end to end. Using technology, this law firm is on a mission to rebuild legal services from the ground up. Backed by leading European VCs and founded by a team with prior success in consumer and SaaS businesses, they're building something genuinely different: a law firm with technology at its core. On a day-to-day basis, this means less admin for you, and more efficient results for your clients. This is their first finance hire, reporting directly to the founders. You'll own finance end-to-end and design the function from a clean slate — deciding what shouldn't exist, what should be automated, and where human judgement actually matters. What's in it for you

• Define the function. You create the systems, standards and culture. No legacy processes, no inherited tooling, no committee.
• Founder access & real influence. Direct line to the founders and a seat at the table on pricing, unit economics, fundraising and strategy — not just reporting.
