We're Checkout.com - you might not know our name, but companies like eBay, ASOS, Klarna, Uber Eats, and Sony do. That moment when you check out online? We make it happen.


Checkout.com is where the world checks out. Our global network powers billions of transactions every year, making money move without making a fuss. We spent years perfecting a service most people will never notice. Because when digital payments just work, businesses grow, customers stay, and no one stops to think about why.

Wherever our people work their magic, they're fast-moving, performance-obsessed, and driven by being better every day. Ideal. Because a role here isn't just another job; it's a career-defining opportunity to build the future of fintech.

Document accounting considerations of New Product initiatives and collate and evidence sign-offs from key stakeholders across Finance leadership teams. Help manage the Finance roadmap to deliver New Products and provide clarity to key stakeholders on the status of product implementations.

What We're Looking For

Professional finance qualification such as the ACA or equivalent, with at least 7 years' post qualification experience. You will also possess strong knowledge of IFRS and general accounting principles. Proven track record partnering with multiple stakeholders, employing varying engagement and communication styles. You have deep knowledge of end-to-end transaction flows and finance processes, preferably within an audit environment, to identify risks and ensure best practice controls are in place. Expert knowledge of MS Excel/Sheets and the ability to analyse and reconcile high volume data. You will have direct line management experience ensuring team deliverables are met and simultaneously developing skill sets of direct reports. You will be highly organised and can manage multiple workstreams concurrently. You are keen to learn more about Fintech products and the inner workings of an organisation dealing with high volume transactions. You are not afraid to roll up your sleeves and take responsibility to do whatever needs doing to solve problems. You take a proactive approach in resolving complex issues. Experience in Payments and/ or fast growth companies will be advantageous. Experience in Finance Transformation is also advantageous.
