Financial Controller

Company Description

We are an R&D-driven medical technology company building a next-generation robotic platform for interventional cardiology, starting with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Our ambition is to build a generational MedTech company founded on relentless innovation. The business operates across three jurisdictions and currencies and is progressing through key technical and clinical milestones on the path to regulatory approval and global commercialization. This is a period of rapid organizational build-out, with increasing complexity across group reporting, intercompany transactions, grant funding, regulatory-driven cost tracking, and investor-grade financial controls. The role sits at the center of this evolution and offers meaningful exposure to senior leadership, fundraising, and the financial foundations of a global Med-Tech business.

​

Role Description

We are looking to appoint a hands-on Fractional Financial Controller to take ownership of the group’s finance function. This role is well suited to someone who enjoys operating in a scaling, R&D-focused environment, combining technical accounting expertise with practical delivery. The Controller is expected to work 2 days a week and plan his/her schedule independently. 

The Controller will be responsible for overseeing outsourced bookkeepers, ensuring accurate and timely monthly and quarterly closes, managing payroll and tax compliance across jurisdictions, and producing IFRS-compliant group accounts, including consolidation and foreign currency reporting. This ideally turns into a full time position within a year.
