• Drive Profitability: Ruthlessly manage our P&L. You will drive a clear path to profitability by improving unit economics, tightening cost control, and increasing pricing discipline across clients, warehouses, and carriers

• Build, Automate & Augment: You will design and implement AI-driven finance workflows (AR, AP, reconciliation, reporting), to reduce manual work, improve accuracy, and enable real-time decision-making across the business
• Compliance & Governance: Oversee all external relations, including liaising with accountants, managing Companies House filings, tax compliance, and preparing Board materials
