Finance Manager (4 day week, remote, contract)

Barden are delighted to be selected as the exclusive recruitment partner for a growth-stage, venture-backed medical technology company in their search for a Finance Manager.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role at the heart of a fast-growing, innovation-led business. Reporting directly into the CEO, you will take ownership of the finance function, playing a critical role in supporting the company's continued growth, fundraising activity, and governance as it scales.

This is a broad, close-to-the-business role, blending financial accounting and reporting with budgeting, forecasting, and direct exposure to fundraising and board-level activity - ideal for someone who wants genuine breadth and influence in a smaller, agile environment.

• Assist the CTO with R&D grant applications.

• Support fundraising activity, including managing shareholder queries and reviewing shareholder agreements and amendments with the CEO and legal advisors.

• Oversee company secretarial obligations, including filing of relevant statutory returns.

ABOUT THE PERSON

• Qualified accountant, with strong technical financial accounting background.
• Experience operating in a growth-stage, venture-backed, or similarly fast-paced environment
• Strong systems experience, with ERP/accounting software exposure essential.
• Hands on, pragmatic approach with the ability to operate across both strategic and transactional finance.
