Job Description

Head of Finance - BriqSafe Amsterdam | Full-time | Reports directly to the CEO We don’t need someone to manage finance. We need someone to reinvent it. Not someone whose ambition is to close the books faster. Or to build another collection of Excel reports. We want someone who sees finance as an intelligent, automated operating system. One that helps the whole company make better decisions. Think less traditional finance department. More AI-powered financial intelligence engine. We’re entering our next growth chapter: becoming AI-native in everything we do, scaling internationally and building the financial maturity of a Series A-ready technology company. That’s where you come in. About BriqSafe Buildings should be safe. Not confusing, not stressful, not dependent on guesswork. For over 10 years, LegionellaDossier has helped water hygiene teams across the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands and Belgium keep buildings compliant. More than 19,000 people use our software every day, across more than 100,000 buildings. Now we’re building BriqSafe: one AI-driven platform for water, fire, asbestos and more. We’re 35+ colleagues in 5 countries, with our home base in Amsterdam. What You’ll Achieve ● In your first 3 months, you’ll know our numbers inside out and have a blueprint for an AI-first finance function ● In your first 6 months, leadership has reliable, actionable visibility into ARR, churn, burn and cash, without waiting for month-end reports. ● In your first 12 months, finance runs on scalable AI-first infrastructure, routine processes are largely automated, and investor-grade financial reporting is in place. What You’ll Do Your mission: build the finance function of the future. Not by solving ad hoc problems all day. By designing the systems that let BriqSafe scale. ● Architect an AI-first finance operation, with agents for reporting, forecasting, reconciliations, and anomaly detection ● Own the financial engine: budgeting, planning, cash flow, controls and accounting oversight ● Own accounts receivable (AR) and accounts payable (AP) end to end, from invoicing, collections and reconciliations to supplier payments and working capital. Automate these processes wherever practical. ● Own financial compliance, statutory reporting, tax coordination and audit readiness across our international operations. ● Build real-time visibility into ARR, MRR, NRR, churn, CAC, LTV, gross margin and burn multiple ● Turn data into decisions with live financial models, scenarios and rolling forecasts ● Get us Series A-ready: investor-grade reporting, a ready data room and a sharp financial narrative You’re Part of the Leadership Team You report directly to our CEO and have a seat at the leadership table. You challenge assumptions and shape decisions across sales, customer success, product and international expansion. You make financial intelligence easy to use for colleagues who aren’t in finance. And when the finance team grows, you build it - without the bureaucracy. What You Bring You’re a finance leader who gets as excited about building an AI agent as about building a financial strategy. ● An academic degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a related field ● 7–10 years in finance, with real ownership of planning, reporting, operations and systems ● Proven hands-on experience designing, building and deploying AI-powered workflows and agents, integrating AI models with business systems, APIs and financial data. We want builders, not simply AI users. ● A deep understanding of SaaS economics: recurring revenue, unit economics and growth metrics ● A builder’s track record. You design scalable processes, then roll up your sleeves to run them. ● Native-level Dutch and English, spoken and written If your idea of modern finance is a better spreadsheet, this probably isn’t your role. If it’s a financial operating system that automates the routine, strengthens control, and gives leadership better information, we’d love to meet you. Tell us what you’ve built and the business impact you left behind, not just where you’ve worked.
