Whether chatting alongside a livestreaming event, receiving realtime financial information, or working with colleagues in an online collaborative environment - consumers simply expect realtime digital experiences as standard. At Ably we’re not just witnessing this revolution, we’re powering it - at scale. At the heart of our mission lies a commitment to putting developers first. Ably provides a suite of products to build, extend, and deliver powerful digital experiences in realtime, delivering billions of messages for millions of devices every day and supporting organizations like Harness, EA, Panasonic and HubSpot. Working at Ably means helping to build the infrastructure and technology that will power and shape the future of the internet. The opportunity in front of us is immense. And we’d like your help. ABOUT THIS ROLE As Ably continues to scale, we're looking for a sharp, ambitious Senior Finance Analyst to join our Finance team. This is a deliberately broad, high-exposure role for a recently qualified accountant making their first move from practice into industry; someone who wants to do far more than close the books.  You'll share the delivery load across the full finance cycle, take full ownership of a set of financial operations, and, crucially, be the hands-on engine for AI and automation across the function. You'll work closely with our Bookkeeper, report to and be coached by our Finance Manager, and have regular exposure to the VP of Finance, the wider business and its leadership.  It's a rare chance to build genuine finance-transformation skills at one of the most AI-forward companies you could join at this stage of your career, and to leave with a track record most finance professionals won't have for years. DAY TO DAY YOU WILL * Run the delivery engine across the finance reporting cycle. You'll own the hands-on production work behind month-end - journals, consolidation and first-draft management accounts - alongside billing, invoicing and payment approvals, and you'll support revenue recognition and investor and bank reporting. * Own key financial operations. You'll take full ownership of expenses and credit control, own the delivery of billing and invoicing, and oversee the Bookkeeper's day-to-day transactional work. * Be the driving force for AI and automation in Finance.  You'll design and build automations across your delivery areas, develop AI-enabled finance processes, and own the outcomes of what you ship. Ably is deeply AI-forward and Finance is a priority for that agenda, so you will personally build and own AI-driven finance processes end to end. * Partner with the business. You'll support a set of delegated cost centres and budget holders, helping them stay within budget and get the most from their spend. * Support tax, compliance and the audit. You'll prepare the schedules and underlying data behind UK and US tax compliance, and be a key point of contact through the annual audit. IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU HAVE * Big 4 auditing, and a professional accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, or equivalent). * High attention to detail, strong problem-solving skills and the ability to identify opportunities for improvement. * The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and adapt to changing priorities. * Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills. * An eye for process improvement and effectiveness - you don’t need to have substantial experience in AI automation already, we will teach you that, but what you need is an efficiency-focused mindset and some demonstrable experience in that regard. WHAT’S IT LIKE TO WORK AT ABLY? We’re tackling planet-scale problems and our ambitions are a testament to that. You’ll join a successful, deeply motivated and collaborative team that thrives on innovation, experimentation and autonomy.

Aside from that, you’re welcome to work wherever suits best for you. * Equity.

Nice to have * Experience in financial services, fintech, B2B SaaS, or payments. * An existing network among accountants, tax advisors, bookkeepers, or accounting-software vendors in your market. * Familiarity with local accounting and invoicing software ecosystems (e.g. DATEV, Sevdesk, Lexware in DE; and the leading platforms in IT, ES, FR, and NL). * Experience launching referral, affiliate, or channel-partner programmes. WHY JOIN VIVID? * We have a hybrid model in our Milan office.  * AI-first culture – we use it every day, not just talk about it. * Learning & development budget to support your professional growth.  * Fully paid vacation and sick leave.  * Real growth prospects, significant responsibility, and the ability to make an immediate impact from day one.  Enhance your expertise and shape the future of FinTech.

COMPENSATION RANGE Final compensation is determined individually, based on your experience, skills and the scope of the role, assessed against objective, gender-neutral criteria. We believe the people who build Vivid should own a piece of it. Your total compensation reflects that: a strong fixed base, and equity via our Employee Stock Option Program. Real upside for real impact. ABOUT VIVID At Vivid, we're on a mission to change how businesses and individuals manage their money across Europe. For businesses, we build tools that actually make a difference: multi-IBAN accounts, high-yield savings, business cashback, team cards, and accounting integrations that save real time — all in one place. And for individuals, we offer a simple way to manage and grow your wealth: access to global stocks, ETFs and 150+ cryptocurrencies, cashback, and personalised financial insights. Our mission? Your success. Everyone deserves the chance to see their finances flourish, and we're dedicated to empowering our customers to make this a reality. Founded in 2019 in Berlin by Alexander Emeshev and Artem Iamanov, Vivid has quickly grown into one of Germany's top financial platforms for SMEs and private accounts. Since then, we've expanded rapidly across Europe, earning the trust of over 500,000 customers — and with over €200 million raised and a valuation of €775 million, we're just getting started. We're building Vivid as an AI-native organization — across every function, from product to compliance to operations. Automation handles a growing share of day-to-day execution. For us, this means our teams can focus on architecture, strategy, and high-impact decision-making. This changes how we work: less manual execution, more ownership in building systems that scale. We want to help define what AI-native looks like in a regulated financial environment — and we're looking for people who want to build that future with us.
