Since our inception in 2015 in Denmark, Liva has been a pioneer in the field of digital behaviour change. Our ambition is to empower 1 million people by 2030 to improve their health and well-being by preventing and managing chronic conditions through digitally-powered, evidence-based lifestyle interventions.

Headquartered in Copenhagen and London, our collaborations with healthcare systems - including the NHS, life science companies and health insurers - allow us to impact lives at scale. We recently acquired Momenta, a leading developer and provider of evidence-based, outcome driven, healthy lifestyle solutions that help people negotiate the many day-to-day challenges they face in living healthier lives, with a focus on weight management.

Together we have big ambitions and, to help us achieve these we’re looking for a Head of Finance to join the team and own the financial planning for the group.

What you’ll be doing

Based in either the UK or Copenhagen, Denmark, as Head of Finance you'll be responsible for driving the financial planning of the company by analysing performance and risks, retaining constant awareness of the company’s financial position, (and acting to prevent problems), and overseeing the company’s finance IT system.

You'll also work with - and manage the relationship between - Liva Healthcare and our outsourced finance partners to ensure all goals are met.

You'll oversee all financial aspects of business across both locations including auditing, forecasting, pricing and modelling to drive the company’s financial strategy.

Other responsibilities

• Oversee all audit and internal control operations.

• Manage a small team.

• Prepare timely and detailed reports on financial performance on a quarterly and annual basis.

• Conduct analysis to make forecasts and report to leadership.

• Ensure adherence to financial laws and guidelines.

Ideally you’ll have:

Experience in a similar role, and, if you had experience within a high-growth tech or SaaS business that would be a bonus. You will have a broad knowledge of all accounting, financial and business principles, be a strategic thinker and an effective leader who can make good profit-driven decisions.

And also:

• In-depth knowledge of corporate finance and accounting principles, laws and best practices

• Solid knowledge of financial analysis and forecasting

• Proficient in the use of MS Office and financial management software

• An analytical mind with a strategic ability

• Excellent organisational and leadership skills

• BSc/BA in accounting, finance or relevant field

• Fully qualified ACA, ACCA or CIMA, or Danish equivalent.

You’ll get:

Alongside the usual benefits, you’ll get the opportunity to join a fast growing business and really make an impact. We are a purpose-driven company, and we go to work every day to help people live better lives. Our purpose is in our DNA, and it is important that this is also a driver for you.
