RORA is growing our exclusive team of FinOps Lead Contractors! We're looking for seasoned Finance Leads, Heads of Finance, or CFOs with startup/scaleup experience who are ready for more variety, impact, and freedom.

We’re reinventing contracting
Contracting is great - you get to be the boss. But it can leave you out on your own with no real support and no one to learn from. Plus, it's a real slog trying to keep winning new work.

RORA has set out to turn the traditional contracting model on its head. You experience the perks of being an employee, the variety you’d expect as a contractor, alongside the support and development opportunities of a big firm. We like to think it's the best of both worlds!

Meet RORA
RORA builds embedded fractional teams for startups and scaleups, giving you access to some of the most exciting and innovative businesses in the world. We have made a name for ourselves as FinOps experts and more recently we’ve started making waves across PeopleOps too!

The role
As a FinOps Lead, you’ll be embedded within partner companies, working directly with founders and the C-suite of startups and scaleups to deliver impactful finance solutions.

You general scope of work includes:

• Leading finance teams across the UK and India, providing technical mentorship and ensuring delivery of key projects.
• Overall management of finance operations including establishing best-in-class finance processes, building scenario-based financial models from scratch and applying strong accountancy and finance expertise across bookkeeping, billing, statutory accounts, tax, EMI options and CAP table management. Whilst direct reports handle many of the accountancy tasks, you'll need a solid grasp of the financial controls, processes, and latest technology to ensure smooth operations.
• Implementing tech solutions, finance apps and automating wherever possible.
• Given the fractional nature of each contract, you'll be supporting 1 to 3 partners simultaneously, which means managing multiple expectations.

Your experience

• 5+ years in Finance, with experience in a senior finance role within a tech or e-commerce startup.
• Finance credentials such as ACA or CIMA.
• A strong understanding of what effective finance operations look like in smaller startups or scaleups.
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects, stakeholders, and competing priorities.
• Experience beyond finance - you’ve partnered with operations, sales, marketing, or other functions.
• Familiarity with cloud-based financial software like Xero (strongly preferred) and tools like Dext and Pleo.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and spoken.

It’s probably not for you if…

• You’re looking to fill a gap: we’re looking for individuals committed to contracting and you’ll need a registered company and liability insurance in place before starting.
• You’re only interested in strategic work: flexibility is key for us and we also 'do the doing.'
• You're looking for a fully remote role. You can expect to have an onsite presence in London at least 1-day per week.
