Role
Who you are
- Have a strong track record in finance leadership within a startup or high-growth environment
- Are equally comfortable rolling up your sleeves on month end as you are presenting strategic recommendations to the CEO or board
- Understand the mechanics of a venture-backed business — unit economics, SaaS or marketplace metrics, investor reporting — and can bring that lens to everything you do
- Have experience with statutory compliance, audit processes, and share option scheme administration (EMI experience a plus)
- Move quickly, communicate clearly, and don't need a lot of hand-holding to figure out what needs to be done
- Have interim experience — or are genuinely excited by the pace and focus that comes with a fixed-term remit
- Sound like you but not quite 100%? Apply anyway - we're looking for potential and passion, not perfect CV match

Salary benchmarks
Our take
Choosing a care home is often a hugely daunting, complex, and expensive process, coming at a time that's already stressful enough. What's more, the UK's ageing population is growing at an increasing rate, putting more strain on social care than ever before. The result is that 44% of care seekers often ultimately regret their choice of care home, something that has had increasing attention since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lottie aims to address this in part by simplifying the process of finding the perfect care home for every individual's specific needs. Its online marketplace gives users all the tools to select and compare the UK's best-performing care homes, taking into account CQC reports, facilities, treatment methods, and location.
Having received investment, Lottie aims to continue its growth to reshape the future of the care industry. It is doing so with a strong emphasis on data and real-time information, collecting datasets that will be vital not just to its business operations, but potentially to the UK government and healthcare policy too.
