About the role
As we grow, we are strengthening our finance function. We are looking for a Finance Director who will be a true business partner to the CEO: someone who makes sure the numbers are right and uses them to shape how we grow. We value an entrepreneurial mindset over purely corporate experience.
Key responsibilities
- Support the CEO in overseeing the Company's financial operations, including budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management, financial reporting, and ensuring the accuracy and integrity of financial data.
- Lead the preparation of monthly, quarterly and annual financial reports, monitor performance against KPIs, and provide actionable insights to support strategic decisions and business growth.
- Build financial models for business cases, new markets and commercial deals, with clear visibility into margins and profitability drivers.
- Oversee accounting, treasury and payment operations, including liquidity, FX exposure, settlements and receivables across multiple currencies and jurisdictions.
- Ensure compliance with international accounting standards, tax regulations and statutory requirements, working with auditors and external advisors.
- Partner with Sales, Operations, Routing, HR, Legal and Compliance to evaluate financial risks, optimize profitability, improve operational efficiency and support commercial initiatives.
- Build and continuously improve the finance function: processes, controls, systems and the team.
What we are looking for
- 7+ years in finance, including 3+ years in a senior role (Finance Director, Head of Finance, CFO or equivalent).
- Entrepreneurial background: experience in scale-ups or founder-led companies, running your own business, owning a P&L, or building a finance function from scratch.
- Solid knowledge of IFRS and international tax; experience with multi-entity, multi-currency, cross-border operations.
- Strong communicator: able to present financial information clearly, simplify complex topics, and adapt the message for different audiences from team level to leadership and shareholders.
- Strong financial modelling and analytical skills, with the ability to turn data into clear recommendations.
- Owner mindset: comfortable with pace and ambiguity, hands-on, and confident challenging decisions with data.
- Experience in telecom, payments, fintech or other high-volume transactional businesses is a plus.
- Experience with crypto, including crypto payments, treasury or accounting, is a plus.
- Russian: native or fluent (mandatory). English: C1 or above (mandatory).
What we offer
- A key leadership role with direct impact on the Company's growth and strategy.
- Close partnership with the CEO.

Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
