About us
Ankorstore exists to help independent brands and retailers thrive by making wholesale simpler, faster, and more profitable. We’re building the infrastructure that powers modern wholesale for brands — from getting discovered by the right retailers to ordering, logistics, and financing — so both sides can work together on better, more sustainable terms.
The role
We are looking for a Head of Finance to help scale Ankorstore as a category-defining European wholesale marketplace. As a key member of the Leadership Team, you will own Ankorstore’s full financial strategy and operations, partnering closely with the CEO and senior leadership to drive growth, financial discipline, and long-term value creation. You will lead three specialised teams — Payment & Fraud, FP&A, and Accounting — and act as the principal financial architect for a company operating at the intersection of marketplace dynamics and B2B commerce.
What you’ll do
Own the financial strategy
- Own the P&L and financial performance against budget, building the financial narratives for leadership and investors.
- Build and maintain scalable financial systems, controls, and operational processes.
- Drive treasury management, cash planning, and working capital optimisation — key priorities in a marketplace.
- Support international entity structuring and legal matters with key external advisors.
Lead three finance teams
- Payment & Fraud: oversee payment infrastructure, fraud-prevention frameworks, and chargeback management in close collaboration with Product & Tech.
- FP&A: drive business partnering, performance analysis, and investment-decision support across the organisation.
- Accounting: ensure timely and accurate close processes, statutory reporting, tax compliance, and audit readiness.
- Coach, develop and retain top finance talent and foster a high-performance, collaborative culture across all three teams.
Partner across the business
- Act as a strategic partner to Product & Tech, Sales, Operations, and the CEO on all financial and operational matters.
- Support cross-functional growth initiatives, pricing decisions, and build-vs-buy analyses.
Your main KPIs
- P&L ownership and financial performance vs. budget.
- Cash flow and runway management.
- Payment fraud rate and loss rate.
- Financial close cycle time and reporting accuracy.
- Finance team engagement and retention.
Preferred experience
- Proven experience as a CFO, Head of Finance, or senior finance leader in a high-growth tech company.
- Track record in a marketplace, fintech, or B2B SaaS model; understanding of unit economics, payment flows and fraud dynamics is a strong plus.
- Experience scaling finance organisations through hypergrowth, fundraising rounds, and international expansion.
- Ability to operate both strategically and hands-on, with a strong analytical mindset (KPI ownership, financial modelling).
- Experience influencing senior stakeholders at Leadership Team and board level, with excellent communication skills.
