Head of Finance at Azoma
- Location
- London, United Kingdom
- Compensation
- Not Disclosed
This is a high-impact role where you will own everything from board reporting for institutional investors to the granular plumbing of a multi-jurisdictional AI startup. If you are a former Big Four professional who has scaled venture-backed SaaS companies and wants to lead finance, ops, and legal at a London-based AI leader, this is your seat.
Role overview
As the first Head of Finance at Azoma.ai, you will build the entire finance function from the ground up following our recent Series A. Toggling between high-level board reporting and granular payroll runs, you will own FP&A, software economics, and statutory compliance across our London and Toronto operations during this critical scale-up phase.
About Azoma
Software · 30-50 employees
Azoma is the category-defining Agentic Commerce Optimization platform. We work with 18 of the top 30 global FMCGs, including Arla, Barilla, Bayer, Beiersdorf, Canadian Tire, L’Oréal, Lipton, Mars, Mondelez, Panasonic, P&G, Reckitt, Unilever and Zappos, to help them drive revenue through AI shopping agents like Rufus, Sparky, Gemini and ChatGPT. We just raised our Series A, and are backed by the likes of dunnhumby & eBay Ventures.
What you will do
- Establish the full plumbing of the finance function, including month-end close, statutory accounts, audit, tax, payroll, and the implementation of all underlying financial systems.
- Develop and maintain the operating model and board packs for an institutional cap table to drive long-term strategy and investor reporting.
- Manage the end-to-end commercial lifecycle, covering contract administration, budget oversight, and deep analysis of SaaS metrics like ARR, retention, and CAC payback.
Who this is a fit for
- Proven experience owning the full finance function at a venture-backed startup, ideally within the AI or B2B SaaS sectors at a similar growth stage.
- Demonstrated expertise in software economics, including a deep understanding of gross margins under heavy compute costs and multi-jurisdictional operations across the UK and Canada.
- A professional background combining Big Four training with hands-on startup experience, showing a comfort with toggling between board presentations and tactical execution.
Why this role is remarkable
- True founding opportunity: You aren’t inheriting a process; you are the architect of the entire finance and operations engine for a newly funded Series A AI startup.
- Direct strategic influence: Reporting directly to the CEO, your financial models and insights will be the primary driver for founder decision-making, burn analysis, and headcount planning.
- Global ownership: Manage complex multi-jurisdictional finance across the UK and Canada, handling everything from institutional investor relations to gross margin optimization under high compute costs.
