Director of Finance

Do you want to run finance for a fast growing international scaleup?

Kosli is seeking an experienced Director of Finance to join our vc-backed startup and lead our financial strategy and operations during our high-growth phase. This UK-based remote role offers the opportunity to provide strategic financial leadership with deep SaaS metrics expertise and hands-on operational experience.

About Kosli

Kosli is on a mission to transform how software is delivered in regulated industries. Mission-critical software powers our world—it calculates bank balances, drives cars, and diagnoses illnesses. But today, making changes to this software is broken. Outdated processes demand extensive controls, bogging teams down with manual red tape, delays, and unnecessary complexity.

Kosli automates change control, eliminating inefficiencies and enabling engineers to deliver mission-critical software faster, safer, and with complete confidence. We help some of the world’s largest banks, logistics providers, pharmaceutical companies, and healthcare organizations make impactful changes without compromising quality or safety.

Backed by over $13M in funding from top venture and strategic investors, including Heavybit (investors in Snyk, LaunchDarkly, and Tailscale), Kosli is entering an exciting phase of growth. With our recent funding round, we are scaling rapidly and looking for exceptional talent to join our ambitious team.
