Requirements
Banking and/or Fintech Experience: You've held a senior finance leadership role in banking or fintech and have a solid grasp of the FCA/PRA regulatory environment.
FP&A: You have a strong background in FP&A, supporting the business in budgeting, forecasting and financial planning.
Growth-minded partner, not just a financial gatekeeper: You're a commercial leader excited to drive revenue growth. You've worked directly on pricing strategy, unit economics, and bottom-line ownership, not just taken them as given from business heads.
Performant, disciplined, hands-on: You roll up your sleeves, dig into the details, and move at pace to resolve problems at their root.
A good craftsman does blame his tools: You're obsessed with productivity and efficiency. You actively seek out AI and SaaS tools to help the Chart team work faster and smarter.
Objective: You're the anchor of reality in a room full of optimism. You’re honest about tradeoffs, focused on achievable targets, and never distracted by unlikely scenario planning.
Signal, not noise: You take complexity and make it simple.
Fresh perspective: You've built high-performing teams and see the function as a strategic partner.
Diplomat and consigliere: You instil confidence by speaking honestly and thoughtfully.
Spidey-sense: You see around corners — and can always explain why a concern is real, not just that it exists.
