Kenny Recruit are working with a thriving e-commerce retail business. They design stylish hardware products in high quality materials, which they manufacture responsibly with their international supply chain partners. They are a booming business who have already gone through one fundraise with venture capitalists, with the plan to raise more capital in the future.
This is a great opportunity to be a part of their growth journey, especially if you'd love to work for an interiors business. Their Head of Finance is going on maternity leave and so they're looking for someone to help steer the ship and continually build on the foundations laid so far, then on from there, be an integral part of their scaling finance team. Just so it is clear, this is a permanent role, not a maternity cover contract! The co-founder of the business is also a finance geek and ACA qualified, so you'll find everything has been in pretty good order since the start, but they're growing at a rapid speed so things are always changing and evolving.
