Head of Finance

{ “@context”: “http://schema.org”, “@type”: “JobPosting”, “title”: “Head of Finance”, “description”: “

Location: London, UK / Flexible Hybrid Department: Finance Reports to: Chief Financial Officer

We are building next-generation GPU cloud infrastructure.

NexGen Cloud is the company behind Hyperstack, a high‑performance cloud platform powering compute‑intensive workloads. Our customers range from AI‑native startups to enterprise and research teams running complex, large‑scale models.

We’re scaling quickly — both technically and commercially — and building the financial infrastructure to support that growth.

This is not a steady‑state finance role. This is about building something that can keep up with a business moving at pace.

The Role

This is a senior leadership role sitting directly below the CFO.

You’ll be responsible for shaping and executing the financial operating model of the business — building structure, improving processes, and ensuring the company has the financial clarity it needs to scale properly.

The role spans four key areas: financial operations, modelling and forecasting, board reporting, and business partnering.

You’ll need to be comfortable switching gears — one minute fixing a broken process, the next supporting strategic decision‑making at board level.

Key Responsibilities

Financial Operations & Automation

  • Improve and scale core finance processes, with a strong focus on automation and efficiency
  • Identify and resolve operational debt across finance systems and workflows
  • Strengthen the link between financial data, revenue drivers and business KPIs
  • Partner with the CFO to optimise systems (including NetSuite) and data infrastructure
  • Own and evolve the three‑statement financial model as the business scales
  • Develop robust, driver‑based forecasting capability
  • Lead and oversee FP&A output, ensuring quality and consistency
  • Support strategic planning, scenario modelling and investment decisions

Board & Internal Reporting

  • Own the preparation of board‑level financial reporting
  • Act as a critical review layer (‘four‑eyes’) on financial outputs
  • Build and improve internal reporting to drive better decision‑making
  • Support investor and stakeholder reporting requirements

Business Partnering

  • Embed budgeting and financial ownership across departments
  • Act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders across the business
  • Represent finance at leadership level when required
  • Support and develop FP&A capability within the team

What We’re Looking For

Core Experience

  • Proven experience in a senior finance role within a high‑growth or scale‑up environment
  • Strong track record in building and improving finance processes and systems
  • Experience developing and owning complex financial models and forecasts
  • Exposure to board‑level reporting and senior stakeholder engagement

Capabilities

  • Strong analytical thinking with the ability to turn complex data into clear insight
  • High level of data literacy and comfort working with large datasets
  • Ability to operate both strategically and hands‑on
  • Confident communicator with both technical and non‑finance stakeholders

Nice to Have (Not Essential)

  • Experience in cloud, infrastructure, or technology‑led businesses
  • Familiarity with ERP systems such as NetSuite
  • Experience scaling finance functions in a fast‑moving environment

What You’ll Get

  • Competitive salary + discretionary bonus
  • 25 days holiday + public holidays
  • Flexible hybrid working
  • High‑impact role with direct CFO and board exposure
  • Real ownership of building a finance function at scale

Why NexGen Cloud

This role sits at the center of that. You’ll have the opportunity to shape how finance operates in a business that’s scaling quickly, solving complex problems, and operating in one of the most relevant sectors in tech.

If you want a role where you can genuinely influence how a company grows — this is it.
