Head of Finance

As the Head of Finance of the company, you hold a key strategic role and influence greatly on the success of the company. You will be working directly with the CEO of the company and you will be a part of the strategic teams of the company making key decisions within the company. 

 

To be successful in this role means that you have a solid head for numbers but also you need to have general business skills from many areas to be able to contribute to the success of the entire company. The environment of the company and the company itself is constantly evolving and therefore you need to be able to handle stress well, be a good communicator and be flexible to adapt to the changes that are always there.

 

The focus of the position is to be the day-to-day financial leader in the company but more importantly to be a part of the strategic development of the business. We expect you to have fresh ideas on e.g. pricing models, invoicing models, cost structuring, analytics dashboards and transparent budgeting.

 

OGOship strives to be a modern and great place to work. We work actively on our company culture and embrace the individuals within the company for whom they are. We are building a unicorn, and the people are our fairy dust. We hire people for their skills and believe every team member makes a difference. 

 

Do you see yourself going above and beyond and taking the extra step while handling your tasks and have fun while doing it? That is exactly what we are looking for!
