Build, run and automate finance at an international scale-up

Groover is an international music-tech platform helping independent artists grow their careers by connecting them with music industry professionals.

We operate across Europe and the US and are entering a key phase of financial structuring, profitability and scale.

We are looking for a Finance Manager to take ownership of day-to-day finance operations, progressively internalize most of the finance scope, and build a robust, automated and decision-oriented finance function.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role, working closely with the founders. You will report directly to the CEO.

As Finance Manager, you will be the owner of finance operations and financial planning, with direct exposure to leadership.
Your mission is to run the finance function end-to-end, execute first, then structure, automate and improve.

This is not a purely strategic role — you will be doing things yourself, especially at the beginning.
