About The Role We’re looking for a Head of Finance Operations, Reporting and Policy to shape how finance works across Oritain- not just today, but as we scale for the future. This is a high-impact, hands-on leadership role for someone who loves building strong foundations: smart processes, clear policies, and reporting that genuinely helps the business make better decisions. You’ll take ownership of our financial operations and reporting delivery, driving continuous improvement and embedding ways of working that are robust, scalable, and fit for growth. You’ll play a key role in strengthening financial governance across the organisation, ensuring our controls, frameworks and policies support both pace and precision.

If you’re excited by the challenge of creating structure, driving operational excellence, and leaving a lasting imprint on how a growing business runs its finance function, this is a chance to build something meaningful. Responsibilities

Take ownership of how finance runs day to day, continually improving core processes like accounts payable and receivable, month-end close, and financial controls. Design and embed practical, scalable finance policies and procedures that support the business as it grows, while staying aligned to best practice and regulatory requirements. Lead the delivery of high-quality internal reporting, ensuring financial information is accurate, timely, and useful for decision-making. Ensure strong group-wide compliance with controls and external reporting standards, and own the audit process end to end, helping it run smoothly with minimal findings. Work with FP&A and the wider finance team to align reporting, forecasting, and operational processes, telling a consistent story. Partner with teams across the business to embed finance operations into everyday ways of working, so finance supports momentum rather than slowing it down. Drive automation and system improvements using tools like NetSuite, Power BI, and Excel; build clear documentation and training to support adoption and manage risk; track operational KPIs to spot opportunities for improvement. Lead and mentor a small team, creating a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and technical excellence.

Qualifications

You’ll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with strong technical grounding and hands-on experience across finance operations, reporting, and financial control, ideally in a fast-growing or international environment. You’ve designed and embedded finance policies and ways of working that stick, not just run processes. Experience with finance systems and data (NetSuite or similar ERP like SAP or Oracle), Excel, and reporting tools such as Power BI; able to use them to make finance smarter and more efficient. Strong attention to detail, analytical mindset, and practical problem-solving approach. Clear, confident communicator who can influence stakeholders across the business and drive change in a constructive, collaborative way. Experience leading and developing teams in fast-paced, evolving environments, balancing hands-on work with strategic thinking.
