Head of Finance

The role

You’ll own the day-to-day financial operations and the commercial insights that inform our growth strategy. You’ll report to the CFO/CCO, who leads financial strategy, fundraising, growth, and monetisation. Your role is to deliver the financial infrastructure and analysis that allows leadership to make fast, well-informed decisions as we scale.

This is a hands-on role. You’ll be the person who makes sure the numbers are right — and who connects those numbers to strategy, spotting the patterns and implications that drive better decisions. You’ll handle finance for the full company, on a steep growth trajectory, targeting Series A later this year. A key to success in this role is leveraging AI — both using AI-powered tools to run finance operations more efficiently, and orchestrating AI agents to automate and scale the finance function.

What you'll do

Commercial Strategy & Business Partnering

• Provide financial analysis and modelling to inform commercial strategy — including pricing and packaging, channel and product economics, and partnership deal structures

• Build and maintain the analytical frameworks needed to evaluate monetisation levers and growth investments

• Partner with the growth and product teams to track and report on key metrics (MRR, LTV, CAC, retention, conversion funnels), and support ongoing investor reporting

Budgeting, Forecasting & Cash Management

• Own and maintain the company’s financial model, and model and simulate scenarios for strategic decisions

• Build and maintain rolling budgets and forecasts, tracking actuals against plan

• Monitor cash flow and runway, flagging risks and opportunities to leadership

Financial Operations & Reporting

• Prepare monthly management accounts and financial dashboards for the board and leadership team

• Own financial reporting, ensuring accurate and timely processes

• Coordinate with external accountants and auditors (Norwegian GAAP / IFRS as applicable)

Compliance & Controls

• Ensure compliance with Norwegian tax and corporate regulations (VAT, payroll tax, etc.)

• Maintain and improve internal financial controls, and manage payroll and expense processes

AI & Automation

• Identify, deploy, and orchestrate AI agents to automate finance workflows, scaling the function without scaling headcount

• Stay on top of emerging AI capabilities relevant to finance and proactively bring new tools and approaches to the team

Who we're looking for

Must-Haves

• Solid experience in finance, accounting, or FP&A roles

• Strong command of financial reporting and month-end close processes — you’ll work with outsourced accountants, not do the bookkeeping yourself

• Experience with (or appetite for) working in a high-growth startup — you’re comfortable with ambiguity and building in chaos

• Strong grasp of financial modelling and proficiency with core finance and accounting tools

• Genuine enthusiasm for using AI to automate and scale finance operations

• Solid understanding of B2C / SaaS business metrics

• Strong English communication skills (written and verbal)

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience supporting or building finance infrastructure post-fundraise (Series A or similar)

• Familiarity with Norwegian accounting standards and tax regulations (or the ability to get up to speed quickly)

• Background in consumer tech, gaming, or subscription businesses

• Qualification such as ACA, ACCA, CPA, or equivalent

• A chess obsession — or at least openness to develop one 😊

Why join Take Take Take

• Shape the finance function at a company co-founded by Magnus Carlsen, on a journey to redefine how chess is played and learned globally

• Join at a pivotal moment, with meaningful influence on how the company is built

• Be at the forefront of AI-powered finance — orchestrating AI agents alongside traditional tools to build a finance function that punches well above its weight

• Work alongside a world-class team of Engineers, Designers, Product and Growth minds across Oslo and London
