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
