🧑🏻‍💻 About the role

First things first: you want to know what you’re actually applying for. It’s impossible to capture every nuance of a role – especially at a rapidly growing company like Mews – but if we had to distill it down to a job description (which we do because this is a job description), it would be this:

At Mews, our financial and regulatory data is the backbone of how we close the books, report to investors, satisfy regulators and get IPO‑ready. Right now, that backbone is being tested and we need to make it scalable.

We’re looking for a Senior Manager of Data – Finance to take ownership of our finance data world: the pipelines, platforms and practices that turn complex operational, RevOps, Financial Services, billing and core finance data into trusted, auditable, decision‑ready insight. If you love taking something complex, high‑stakes and business‑critical and turning it into a calm, well‑run machine, this one’s for you.

✅ Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

Lead and develop the Finance & Regulatory Data team (analytics/data engineers and a data scientist) across Europe.

Own the strategy, architecture and roadmap for Mews’ finance and regulatory data platform.

Prioritise and deliver data projects that support Corporate Finance, FP&A, Financial Systems, FinTech and RevOps.

Raise the bar on data quality, governance, lineage and auditability for all finance and regulatory data.

Partner closely with finance and business leaders to translate needs into clear data solutions and narratives.

Reduce manual, spreadsheet‑driven processes through automation, advanced analytics and ML‑powered insights.

🤝️ You’ll be a great fit if you bring a few of the below with you:

Hands‑on data leader with deep experience in large‑scale data infrastructure (Databricks is ideal; Snowflake or similar lakehouse platforms also great). You’re comfortable diving into architecture and code, even if you’re not shipping every pipeline yourself.

Proven experience in finance‑heavy, regulated or complex environments (SaaS with a strong finance lens is a big plus).

Strong instincts for control, auditability, lineage and “trust in numbers” – you understand that finance data is different and must be governed accordingly.

A track record of leading small, senior teams through ambiguity and change, and coming out stronger on the other side.

Confident partnering with CFO/Finance leadership and senior tech stakeholders as a true peer.

Leadership style that combines high standards with empathy, clarity and trust – you’re direct, but you bring people with you.
