At JOIN, we believe hiring should be easy, fast, and fair â for companies and candidates alike. Thatâs why weâre building intuitive, powerful recruiting software that helps businesses of all sizes find the right people effortlessly.
As our Teamlead Accounting & Finance, youâll play a central role in enabling JOINâs next phase of growth.
You'll work directly with the CEO and leadership team to own our financial planning, keep our books in shape, and make sure we're investor-ready at all times.
This is not just another finance role â it's an opportunity to gain real exposure to fundraising and board-level reporting, shape how JOIN scales its financial infrastructure across multiple markets, and directly influence the decisions that drive the company forward.

- Own board-level financial reporting, KPI packages, and be a key contributor to financing rounds and investor due diligence
- Drive adoption of modern financial tooling and AI-powered workflows to raise the speed and quality of the team's output
- Lead, coach, and develop a team of two â setting clear expectations and supporting their growth
Who youâll work with
You'll work directly with our CEO and serve as the primary contact for our investors and external auditors. Your direct reports will be two Finance & Accounting team members.
