About Adzuna

Adzuna is a job search engine that lists every job, everywhere. From our launch in the UK in 2011, we now have tens of millions of visitors a month and are busy conquering the world from our office in West London, helping millions of people find better, more fulfilling jobs.

We are a commercially minded team that moves fast, takes ownership, and loves what we do. As our global footprint expands through international scale and strategic acquisitions (including Seiza, Getwork, and Joblift), we are looking for an exceptional Senior Finance Manager to oversee and streamline our multi-entity finance operations.

About the Role

This is a high-impact, hands-on role for an ambitious Senior Finance Manager ready to own accounting and financial control across our global business. Reporting directly to the CFO, you will oversee day-to-day accounting operations within a lean finance team.

You will ensure robust financial controls, coordinate the annual audit, and partner with local regional specialists to manage our international payroll and tax compliance. 

Whether you are a high-performing Senior Finance Manager ready for a broader mandate, or a Financial Controller from a smaller tech company looking for greater international scale, this is an ideal opportunity for a proactive finance professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and wants to build a best-in-class global finance infrastructure.
