We’re looking for a Head of Finance to take full ownership of Animaj’s financial operations and help shape the future of one of the fastest-growing media companies.
You’ll report directly to the CEO and work hand-in-hand with the leadership team to build a best-in-class finance function. We’re looking for someone hands-on, structured, and rigorous, who thrives in fast-paced, complex, international environments and enjoys getting things done as much as designing scalable systems.
You’ll structure the systems, tools, and processes that enable financial efficiency and control across multiple entities, currencies, and jurisdictions while driving strategic decisions around M&A, debt financing, and production investments.
If you love complexity, impact, and the challenge of building something big from the ground up, this role was made for you.
