The Opportunity: Lottie is looking for an experienced and commercially minded Interim Finance Director to cover a maternity leave period of around 7-8 months Reporting directly to Lottie’s CEO, you will own the finance function across both operations and strategy - managing a team of three, maintaining strong controls and processes and acting as a key strategic partner to the leadership team during a pivotal stage of Lottie’s growth.

We think you’ll be a great fit if you… Have a strong track record in finance leadership within a startup or high-growth environment. Are equally comfortable rolling up your sleeves on month end as you are presenting strategic recommendations to the CEO or board. Understand the mechanics of a venture-backed business — unit economics, SaaS or marketplace metrics, investor reporting — and can bring that lens to everything you do. Have experience with statutory compliance, audit processes, and share option scheme administration (EMI experience a plus). Move quickly, communicate clearly, and don't need a lot of hand-holding to figure out what needs to be done. Have interim experience — or are genuinely excited by the pace and focus that comes with a fixed-term remit. Sound like you but not quite 100%? Apply anyway - we're looking for potential and passion, not perfect CV match This role isn’t for you if you… Need a large team or significant infrastructure around you to operate effectively. Prefer a steady-state role with well-defined processes — we're still building, and things move fast. Aren't genuinely excited by the mission to improve later life for millions of people. Are looking for a long-term permanent position — this is a fixed-term interim cover role.
