Ably

Our everyday digital experiences are in the midst of a realtime revolution. 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.

We provide a range of perks and benefits to aid folks' development and wellbeing, allowing them to be their best selves and do great work. * A remote-first and flexible work environment. UK-based teams come together in person once per month in our London hub (next to Old Street) and we get together as a company twice per year. Aside from that, you’re welcome to work wherever suits best for you. * Equity. We’re a growing start-up and we want all team to members to share in the success of the company through our EMI share options programme. * Enhanced holiday allowance. Our policy provides Ablyans with 28 days of paid annual leave (27 regular days, plus a day off to enjoy your birthday). * Enhanced parental leave package, so that you can take the time you need to get to know your new family member, rest and recover. * Home workstation budget of £500 on joining (and £150 p/a thereafter), so that your home office is set up to serve you well and that you have everything you need to work comfortably. * Personal learning and development budget of £1000 annually, and 5% L&D time during working hours to focus on improving your skillset. * Private healthcare with BUPA. * Medical cash plan to cover a range medical and dental costs. * Mental wellbeing coaching and counselling from Self Space. * Monthly wellbeing budget via Juno. * Life assurance and income protection. * Access to Tech & Cycle to Work schemes. * Weekly snack allowance for our end-of-week “Need To Know” meeting. * A fully-paid one-month sabbatical after five years with Ably.
