Head of Finance
Location: London, UK (Hybrid - Tuesday to Thursday in the office)
Hybrid Department: Finance
Reporting to: Chief Financial Officer
ABOUT NEXGEN CLOUD:
NexGen Cloud is the company behind Hyperstack, a full-stack AI cloud serving tens of thousands of customers from AI researchers to enterprises running the world's most compute-intensive workloads. We deliver on-demand and private GPU infrastructure to teams who treat performance as a requirement, not a feature.
We're a tight-knit, fast-moving team working at the cutting edge of AI cloud infrastructure. We practice what we preach, equipping our people with AI at every level so we can solve harder problems, ship faster, and keep raising the bar for what enterprise GPU infrastructure looks like.
THE ROLE: Head of Finance
This role exists because we're scaling quickly — both technically and commercially — and the business needs financial infrastructure that can keep pace. You'll have direct ownership over the financial operating model: building structure, improving processes, and giving the company the clarity it needs to grow properly.
This is a senior leadership role sitting directly below the CFO. It's for someone who's comfortable switching gears — fixing a broken process one minute, supporting board-level decision-making the next.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING:
Rather than a long checklist, here's what success in this role looks like:
- Own and evolve the three-statement financial model and drive robust, driver-based forecasting capability across the business
- Lead the preparation of board-level financial reporting, acting as a critical review layer on financial outputs and supporting investor and stakeholder requirements
- Improve and scale core finance processes with a strong focus on automation and efficiency — identifying and resolving operational debt across systems and workflows
- Partner with the CFO to optimise systems (including NetSuite) and strengthen the link between financial data, revenue drivers, and business KPIs
- Embed budgeting and financial ownership across departments, acting as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders and representing finance at leadership level
- Lead and oversee FP&A output, supporting strategic planning, scenario modelling, and investment decisions
- Support and develop FP&A capability within the team as the function scales
ABOUT YOU:
We're more interested in how you think and work than in a perfect CV. You'll likely bring a combination of the following:
Essential
- 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
- High level of data literacy with the ability to turn complex data into clear insight and operate both strategically and hands-on
Nice to Have
- 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 WE OFFER:
- Competitive salary and annual discretionary bonus scheme
- Employee wellbeing benefits
- 25 days of holiday, plus public holidays
- Flexible working arrangements (remote or hybrid, depending on role and location)
- Real ownership and autonomy, with the trust to take initiative and experiment
- The opportunity to make a visible, meaningful impact as we scale
- Clear career progression and growth opportunities in a fast-growing company
- A collaborative, international culture built on trust, transparency, and ownership
- The chance to help shape NexGen Cloud's team, culture, and future alongside ambitious, mission-driven colleagues
