Role
Who you are
- You might bring deep financial operations experience and be comfortable owning everything end-to-end
- You might have trained at a top-tier accounting firm and now be looking for a role with real impact and ownership
- Or you might come from a less traditional background and have your own way of demonstrating strong accounting and data skills
- If the idea of building our finance and data operations from the ground up excites you, we’d love to hear from you
- You’re a qualified accountant
- You’re a natural numbers person: analytical, detail-oriented and comfortable diving deep into the depths of any given figure
- You’re excited about building a data-led culture and enabling fast, informed decision-making across the business
- You have strong SQL capability, or a willingness to learn, to manage reporting and unlock deeper insights
- You're comfortable with consumer SaaS unit economics like CAC, LTV and Payback periods
- You’re proactive and decisive, with a knack for spotting issues early like unexpected supplier charges or finding out why a product margin has shifted
- You’re organised and methodical, with a high bar for accuracy, process and documentation
- You can collaborate and communicate well l with key stakeholders across each function
- You’re motivated by impact, ownership and helping shape the financial maturity of a growing company

What the job involves
- We’re looking for a detail-orientated Finance & Data Manager to take ownership of two critical areas of the business: financial operations and company-wide data
- In this role you’ll be responsible for building the financial and data foundations that support Honest’s next stage of growth
- You’ll play a pivotal role in helping us become truly data-led, ensuring the business has the clarity, reporting and insights needed to move faster and make better decisions
- From cash flow management and budgeting to SQL-driven analytics and data-led experimentation across product, tech and marketing, you’ll help shape how we understand the business, how we spend, and how we grow
- You’ll also own the financial side of billing, including bad debt and revenue recognition, and improve governance and segregation of duties as we scale
- Reporting into the Co-founder and CEO, who is a Chartered Accountant and currently runs finance, this is an exciting opportunity to work closely with, and become a key right-hand person to our Founders
- Own our Operational and Finance reporting. Delivering clear, data-led insights to the Board, Product and Senior Leadership
- Enable data-led decision-making across the business by running experiments to inform strategy, our priorities and partner with Tech to build robust data tracking and flows
- Lead end-to-end financial management, including cash flow, revenue and cost assurance, subscriptions, ROI analysis and spend optimisation
- Build, automate and operate scalable finance processes, including fast month-end close and lightweight reporting
- Own all core finance operations: payments, treasury, payroll (with the Head of People), expenses, compliance, international sales taxes, revenue assurance, cost assurance and HMRC interactions
- Strengthen financial governance and controls, including budgeting, forecasting, billing, revenue recognition, bad debt management and oversight of third-party (R&D advisors & lawyers) suppliers

Our take
Honest Mobile was launched in response to seeing a gap in the modern market for mobiles. Mobile networks were lagging behind, set in their old ways with complicated contracts, overcharging, and keeping customers on hold -being the norm.
To challenge this, the company built Honest Mobile from the ground up to create a better mobile network for customers and the planet. With £150k in funding, Honest Mobile has created the first carbon-neutral mobile network where customers can float between networks. And on top of this, its a registered B-Corporation and plants trees on behalf of its customers.
The mobile industry has many established players who have already spent time dealing with the challenges that Honest Mobile currently faces, like price competitiveness, WiFi functionality, and rural coverage. However, by aiming to capitalise on the consumer trend of eco-consciousness, which many of the existing companies in this space neglect, Honest Mobile aims to grow its customer base. Its performance on Seedrs, an equity crowdfunding platform for startups where it raised more than £3M in an oversubscribed campaign, shows that it is clearly gaining traction in the market.
With sustainability at the core of its mission, the company has released the UK's first recycled SIMs – made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. Honest Mobile's next step? Getting get rid of SIMs altogether!
