About Spacegoods

Spacegoods is one of the fastest-growing wellness brands today in the UK, with a mission to help people unlock their full potential—mentally and physically—through premium functional beverage products. Launched in 2022, we've gone from £0 to 8 figures per year in revenue, building a cult following with hero products such as Rainbow Dust.

We're now gearing up for our next chapter: expanding across Europe, launching new products, doubling down on retention, and scaling to £30M+ in revenue—all while operating with lean, high-performance principles. We're also already backed by some of the most prominent food & bev investors in Europe, and have very ambitious goals of building a truly category-defining brand over the next few years!

The Role

We're looking for a commercially sharp, strategically minded Finance Manager to take full ownership of our day-to-day financial operations, reporting and planning.

This is a pivotal hire at a critical point in our journey. You'll work directly with the Founder, Managing Director and fractional CFO — acting as the finance engine of the business and helping us scale with confidence and clarity.

What You'll Own

Reporting & Forecasting

• Build and own monthly management accounts, board packs, and forecasts
• Run budgeting processes and maintain visibility across P&L, balance sheet and cashflow

Commercial Finance & Strategy

• Track and analyse key KPIs like CAC, LTV, AOV, COGS and payback periods
• Support key decision-making with sharp financial insights and scenario modelling

Cash & Cost Control

• Help manage cash and margin performance
• Oversee inventory management and cash conversion cycle optimisation
• Work with the Founder/MD & fractional CFO to model different growth and expansion scenarios
• Day-to-day cash flow forecasting and managing accounts receivable and payables

Investor Reporting & Fundraising

• Support with board prep, investor updates and future raise materials
• Work closely with the CFO on strategic forward planning

Finance Operations & Systems

• Own financial processes and controls across bookkeeping, payroll, VAT and tax
• Liaise with external accountants and ensure compliance across all functions

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone ambitious, analytical and deeply commercial. You'll thrive here if you love turning numbers into strategy, and want to play a key role in scaling a consumer brand with global ambition.

• 3–5+ years' experience in finance or commercial roles
• ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified (or finalist) — or strong equivalent experience
• Experience building models, forecasts and scenario plans
• Comfortable working independently in a high-growth environment
• Proficient with Xero and spreadsheets — Shopify, Unleashed, or BI tools a plus
• Able to communicate complex financial concepts clearly and simply
• Interest in wellness, performance, or building next-gen consumer brands

What You'll Get

• Competitive salary + meaningful equity package
• Hybrid working setup with a London HQ
• Monthly socials, offsites and wellness perks
• Opportunity to grow with one of the UK's fastest-growing DTC brands
• Path to develop and be promoted within the business to Head of and eventually FD
• Real ownership, autonomy and the chance to shape the future of the business
• Remote or London-based with flexible working
