Are you passionate about solving complex challenges in the fintech space? We’re looking for talented individuals to join our
dynamic startup, backed by Sequoia Capital. We’re building the universal payment layer to unify all currencies—fiat and crypto—so
businesses and consumers can transact seamlessly. If you're passionate about creating innovative solutions in a dynamic,
fast-paced environment, we want to talk to you.
As the Head of Finance at Breeze, you’ll build and lead the financial operations that power our growth. This is a highly strategic
and operational role focused on financial planning, payments infrastructure, unit economics, and scalable financial systems — not
traditional accounting management.
You’ll partner closely with the CEO and leadership team to drive company-wide financial strategy, improve operational efficiency,
and build the financial infrastructure needed to scale a high-growth fintech business. This role is ideal for someone who thrives
in fast-paced startup environments, understands the complexity of payments and money movement, and enjoys turning financial data
into strategic decision-making.
We’re looking for a finance leader who can operate as both a strategic partner and hands-on builder — someone comfortable diving
into payment reconciliations, forecasting growth scenarios, improving financial visibility, and helping shape the operational
foundation of the business.

Finance at Rohlik is being rebuilt to run on AI. We already have agents in production that chase overdue payments, process invoices, allocate cash and clear the team's inbox. The pieces work. What we need now is one person to own the whole thing and make it deliver at scale. ROLE OVERVIEW This is a new role that owns how AI and automation reshape of the finance operating model across the Group. You will take a programme that is already live across procure to pay, order to cash and our shared services centre, and turn it from a set of promising experiments into the way finance actually runs. You report to the Group CFO. You inherit a small team and a live roadmap, and you own the result. You decide what gets automated first, you build and ship with AI tools when that is the fastest way, and you hold every workstream to a number. The role is deliberately hands on. You should be close enough to the work to build an agent or connect two systems through an API with AI assistance, even though you are not a software developer. You should also be senior enough to redesign how finance works and bring the rest of the business with you. WHY THIS ROLE IS EXCITING * You’ll inherit a live AI programme with real agents, real data and real impact from day one — not a greenfield slide deck. * You’ll shape how Finance actually runs across the Group as we move toward the next stage of growth — including the journey toward IPO readiness. * You’ll have access to a top-notch AI-first tech stack and the freedom to use it pragmatically. * You’ll work directly with the Group CFO, with fast decisions and no corporate red tape. * Your good ideas will be implemented almost immediately — not parked in a roadmap waiting for HQ approval. * You’ll lead a small team, but this is not a “manager from a distance” role. It’s highly hands-on, high-impact, and built for someone who wants to make things move fast. WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU * Own the AI and automation agenda across finance, from strategy through delivery to measured impact. * Lead process redesign the right way: map and understand the as-is, then design an agentic-first to-be rather than automating the old steps. * Bring the live programme to its targets, with a clear owner, baseline and deadline behind every workstream. * Redesign core finance processes around AI and agents, starting with close, reporting and forecasting. * Build and ship yourself when it is faster, using AI assisted tools to create agents and connect systems such as NetSuite, Rossum and n8n. * Lead and grow the team (three today) and raise AI fluency across finance and the SSC so the business can use what you build. * Track what matters and report it straight: automation rate, close time, cash allocation speed, cost and effort taken out. * Roll out across our five markets, balancing local reality against one Group standard. WHAT WE LOOK FOR You have probably spent time in strategy consulting or in a transformation role, and you are now genuinely excited by what AI can do. You are a sharp generalist who can walk into a messy process, find the real problem, and fix it. You are as comfortable in a CFO pre-read as you are in the AI first tool building the thing. * A track record of leading transformation or automation programmes that actually delivered. A consulting, operations or generalist operator background all fit. * Hands on with AI. You can build agents and integrate APIs with AI assistance. You are not a software engineer and you do not need to be, but the tooling does not scare you. * A good grasp of how a finance function runs, or the speed to learn it fast. * You set baselines, name owners, hit deadlines, and say so early when something slips. * You can lead a small team and still do the work yourself. * You prioritise by impact and move fast. Better done than perfect. * You bring finance, tech and operations along with you. * Fluent in English. other languages will be an advantage. * Regular travel to Prague HQ required (min. 4 days per month) WHAT WE OFFER * Unlimited vacation days to support a healthy work-life balance * Monthly vouchers: €45 tax-free via become.1 * €20 monthly internet allowance * Knuspr Xtra account and 10% discount in the form of Knuspr credits / cashback * Great discounts through Corporate Benefits – fitness, travel, tickets, shopping and much more * Real growth: we’re not a traditional corporate. * Knuspr vibe: an international team, flat hierarchy, and a first-name culture where mistakes are seen as opportunities to learn
