The Opportunity Lottie is looking for an experienced and commercially minded Interim Finance Director to cover a maternity leave period of around 7-8 months. Reporting directly to Lottie's CEO, you will own the finance function across both operations and strategy – managing a team of three, maintaining strong controls and processes and acting as a key strategic partner to the leadership team during a pivotal stage of Lottie's growth. Responsibilities

Finance Operation and Controls: Provide oversight on month end close, maintain and improve cross-functional finance processes and ensure compliance across all areas of finance, including statutory filings, audit preparation and EMI scheme administration. Team Leadership: Lead, manage and develop a team of three ambitious finance professionals, creating a high-performing and collaborative environment.

Fit & Qualifications

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.

Things that disqualify

Need a large team or significant infrastructure around you to operate effectively. Prefer a steady-state role with well-defined processes – we're still building, and things move fast. Aren't genuinely excited by the mission to improve later life for millions of people. Are looking for a long-term permanent position – this is a fixed-term interim cover role.

We want to create an inclusive environment that celebrates the diversity of our people whilst enabling them to do the best work of their careers. We are committed to ensuring that all our people processes are equitable. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, family or parental status, national origin, veteran, neurodiversity status or disability status. If you require reasonable accommodations during the application or interview process, please let us know at alice.rooke@lottie.org #J-18808-Ljbffr
