About the job
About C-Leanship
C-Leanship is a Danish maritime technology company delivering biofouling management as a service to the global shipping industry. We design, build, and operate ROVs that clean ship hulls and propellers — without divers, without downtime, and with full collection of biofouling waste. From hubs in Singapore, Busan, and Denmark we have completed more than 1,500 hull cleanings on vessels.
We are now in the most exciting phase of the company's history: systematic growth, new hub expansions, and a capital raise that puts finance at the centre of strategic execution.
The role
We are looking for a Finance Business Partner to join our finance team in Denmark. This is a hands-on finance role with real business impact. You will be the person who keeps our financial engine running — and makes it smarter. That means owning the numbers, questioning the data, driving efficiency through AI technology, and being a genuine partner to the business rather than a back-office function.
You will work alongside our Group Financial Controller and report directly to the CFO.
What you will own
- Driving the month-end closing process, ensuring quality, structure and integrity of financial data
- Optimisation of working capital; supporting cash flow, liquidity planning and payment processes
- Ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, including VAT and statutory reporting
- Driving forecasting and financial planning
- Delivering financial insights and analysis that support real business decisions
- Acting as a business partner to internal stakeholders across departments and across all locations
- Driving data optimisation and process improvement — applying AI tools and acting as a key system specialist within Finance to continuously develop the finance function and systems
What we are looking for
- A degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or equivalent
- 3–5 years of hands-on experience in a finance role — you know your way around a close, a reconciliation, and a cash flow
- Strong analytical capabilities and a system-oriented mindset; you are comfortable improving data structures, not just working within them
- Experience with ERP systems; Business Central is an advantage
- Hands-on, structured, detail-oriented, and proactive — you take ownership without being asked
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving, international organisation where things change and priorities shift
- Fluent English, Danish is a plus but not a requirement
Nice to have
- Experience applying AI or automation tools to finance processes
- Experience from the shipping, maritime, or offshore industry
- Background in a scale-up or growth-stage company
Why this role is different
Finance at C-Leanship is not a support function — it is a strategic one. We are growing fast and at a point where strong financial operations and sharp analysis directly influence how we invest, expand, and perform. You will work in a small, direct team where the CFO is accessible, decisions get made, and your work has visible impact.
This is also a role for someone who wants to grow. As we expand into new ports and bring in growth capital, the scope of the finance function grows with it — and so does the opportunity for the people in it.
Where you will work
Køge, Denmark which is our HQ, while it might change to Copenhagen, Denmark in the near future. Hybrid arrangement possible; on-site presence is expected for the core of the work.
