Head of Finance

London, United Kingdom Queueco Limited Full time

Queueco is an algorithmic principal trading firm operating in frontier markets around the globe. To support our rapidly expanding business we’re looking to hire a Head of Finance & Operations.

The Head of Finance & Operations will direct and control all organisational operations in accordance with the Company strategy agreed by the Founders to ensure that organisational goals and objectives are met. This Head of Finance & Operations is a key operational and strategic hire for the organisation and will play a fundamental role in supporting the Founders and other key functions with achieving their strategic growth objectives. The Head of Finance & Operations will report to the Founders and line manage all non-trading staff.

We work hard but also like to enjoy our time so the organisation of out of office work functions, offsites and events is part of the job as well.

This is primarily a finance orientated role, therefore hands on experience in a senior finance and operations role is critical to the success of this role.

You are good with people, get things done quickly to a high level of standard. Your personality allows you to directly coordinate with management but you’re independent enough to drive relevant initiatives autonomously. We appreciate people with attention to detail and absolute drive to succeed in an ultra-competitive environment. You’re excited to work in a small but highly profitable trading firm that has grown 100% organically (zero external funding or client money) where every employee needs to make a positive contribution to our PnL.

Responsibilities

  • Provide leadership to the company's finance, accounting, cash flow and tax strategy, while optimising the company’s financial performance and strategic position.
  • Oversee the day-to-day operations of the business including finance, facilities management, HR, legal, operational risk and general operations
  • Develop, in collaboration with the Founders, an annual operating plan (‘roadmap’) that supports the long-term operations strategy
  • Assist the Founders in developing and overseeing the long-term business strategies of the business
  • Keep the Founders fully informed in a timely and candid manner of the conduct of the day-today operations of the business towards the achievement of its established goals and of all material deviations from the goals or objectives and policies established by the Founders
  • With respect to operational matters, ensure communications, resolution of issues and project development
  • Ensure the development of health and safety practices for the business and oversee compliance with those practices
  • Foster a business culture that promotes ethical practices, shared values and encourages individual integrity
  • Maintain a positive and ethical work climate that is conducive to attracting, retaining and motivating a diverse group of top-quality employees at all levels
  • Assess and manage the principal risks of the business within finance and operations
  • Assist the Founders in establishing an appropriate organisational structure

Qualities that make a great candidate

  • Experience working in a scale up proprietary trading firm, family office, financial trading firm, or crypto related business is highly desirable
  • Previous experience in a senior management position such as a Head of Finance & Operations / COO
  • Fully Qualified accountant or qualified by experience, with up-to-date technical knowledge
  • Financial accounting and analysis skills, including project budgeting and forecasting
  • Ability to work under pressure at high level
  • Excellent verbal, written and interpersonal communication skills
  • Excellent analytical and data management skills
  • Ability to think proactively and pre-emptively about business issues
  • Able to communicate effectively with senior stakeholders, internal teams and external third-party advisors at both a technical and non-technical level
  • Highly organised with good project management skills, experience of project co-ordination and delivery to deadlines
  • Demonstrated initiative with a strong sense of urgency and purpose with proven ability to operate in high pressure situations whilst handling multiple workstreams simultaneously
  • Excellent organisational and planning ability
  • Problem-solving aptitude combined with hands-on can-do mindset
  • Competitive base salary
  • Discretionary bonus scheme
  • Private health insurance
  • Auto enrolment in defined contribution pension scheme
  • Free Friday lunches, drinks and snacks
  • Conference budget
  • Central London office

If the above job description excites you please submit your CV together with a brief cover letter that clearly outlines the reason why you apply and what makes you a great fit for the role. Applications without cover letter will not be considered.
