Togather are the team at the heart of great events.

We’re a founder-led company of 50+ event specialists working across some of the largest and most exciting events in the UK.

Our Marketplace supports both B2B and B2C customers to handpick standout suppliers across street food, drink and venues for private events, from large-scale summer and Christmas parties to regular office lunches for clients including Spotify, Netflix & BBC.

Live partners with organisers of large-scale public events, using our 360 tech and industry expertise to curate and deliver exceptional food and drink experiences that also drive commercial results for our clients. From major festivals, stadium fanzones and cultural celebrations, we work hand in hand with client teams to deliver exceptional guest experience for the likes of GALA festival, Rock Oyster, Hill Dickinson Stadium and Pride in London.

Internally, we’re proud to have been recognised by Tempo and the Startups 100 Awards as one of the UK’s best places to work. We care deeply about building an ambitious, supportive and high-performing team.

We started life 10 years ago as Feast It, a two-person marketplace launched from a kitchen table - and today, over 10 million guests a year attend a Togather-powered event. Across every project, our mission remains the same:

To make events better for everyone.

The Role:

Be the person who owns our numbers end to end:

We're looking for a hands-on, commercially minded Financial Controller to take full ownership of finance across the group. Our finance function has grown function-by-function rather than by design, and as we scale across two businesses, manage a major profit-share partnership and work towards a possible sale, we need a capable senior owner to bring it together and raise the bar.

This is a step up in seniority from the role it replaces. You'll own the full group profit-and-loss, run a clean and timely close, get on top of working capital, and build the kind of financial infrastructure an acquirer would expect to see. The ambition is to eventually support you with a fractional CFO for senior strategic input, but the day-to-day ownership, and the quality of what we report, will be yours.

You'll report to the Chief of Staff to begin with. We see this as its own seat, with real room to grow as the function matures, whether that's into a more senior finance leadership role over time or as the anchor of a finance team you help shape and build out. How far it goes is genuinely up to you.
