About The Company

At EatClub, we believe restaurants and bars are the beating heart of every city’s culture. Whether it's discovering a hidden gem, grabbing a late-night takeaway, or meeting friends for a drink, our mission is simple: help the hospitality industry thrive through smart, powerful tech.

Our platform helps over 2 million customers discover top restaurants and access real-time deals that save them up to 50% off the bill. We empower more than 4,000 venues to fill empty tables, increase foot traffic, and maximise revenue.

Recently ranked #11 on the 2025 Deloitte Tech Fast 50! Now is an exciting time to join our team. Initially co-founded by Marco Pierre White and leaders in the food tech scene, we’re now a 150+ person scaleup that’s growing fast and making waves in the industry.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

  • Be part of a high-growth scale-up shaping the future of HospitalityTech
  • Lead transformative finance projects with real ownership and autonomy
  • Work closely with the CFO and senior leadership across multiple countries
  • Join a collaborative, high-performing team that values initiative, experimentation, and results

A Day-in-the-Life of our Head of Finance

You’ll step into a hands-on, strategic finance leadership role in a scale-up environment. Some days you’ll be designing systems and processes that will support growth for years to come; other days you’ll be rolling up your sleeves to solve immediate challenges in payroll, reporting, or compliance.

You’ll be a trusted partner to the CFO, working across finance, operations, and leadership teams to drive business performance. This is a role where your decisions, design choices, and processes will have a direct impact on the company’s growth trajectory.

On Any Given Week, You Will

  • Own global payroll, statutory reporting, and tax compliance across all group entities
  • Lead, coach, and develop a finance team of 5+, setting clear expectations and accountability
  • Partner with the CFO on cashflow forecasting, liquidity management, and financial controls
  • Own the month-end close process and continuously reduce close timelines and rework
  • Translate financial results into clear, actionable insights for non-finance leaders
  • Review and approve weekly payment runs, ensuring appropriate controls and segregation of duties
  • Maintain oversight of journals, reconciliations, and balance sheet integrity, stepping in hands-on where required
  • Act as the escalation point for operational finance issues across the business

Type of projects you’ll be working on at EatClub…

  • Lead the migration from Xero to NetSuite, including design, implementation, and optimisation
  • Design and roll out a scalable procure-to-pay process across multiple countries
  • Build and optimise finance processes across billing, procurement, travel, and expenses
  • Implement new systems, automations, and AI tools to improve finance operations
  • Lead audits and ensure compliance across multiple jurisdictions
  • Drive consolidation and management reporting, including variance analysis and month-end close improvements
  • Support strategic growth decisions with analysis and insight

You’ll have real autonomy to drive finance projects, processes, and reporting, while partnering closely with the CFO as their second-in-command shaping decisions, consolidating insights, and ensuring the business has the information it needs to grow.

You have…

  • 4-6 years of Big 4 experience in Audit and Assurance
  • Prior experience as a Financial Controller or Head of Finance in a scaling business
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or a related discipline
  • CA or CPA qualification
  • Experience operating across multiple entities and jurisdictions is highly regarded

It would be extra awesome if you also had…

  • Experience implementing or operating NetSuite
  • Exposure to high-growth or scale-up environments
  • Experience leveraging technology and automation in finance processes

You are…

  • A hands-on leader with a strong ownership mindset
  • Comfortable operating at both strategic and transactional levels
  • An independent thinker who can work with ambiguity and make sound judgements
  • A strong cross-discipline communicator/translator, bridging finance and non-finance stakeholders
  • Motivated by building scalable systems, automating processes, and improving outcomes

Maybe This Role Is Not For You If

  • Prefer highly structured environments with established processes and rigid hierarchies
  • Are uncomfortable with change, pace, or evolving priorities
  • Expect perfect data and fully formed systems from day one

One last note: even if you feel that you don’t meet all the criteria above, we encourage you to apply. Past work experience is not the only indicator of future success, and we are on the look out for hungry talent who wants to grow with us. So if you want to be a part of something remarkable, then we’re excited to hear from you.
