About NexGen Cloud & Hyperstack
We are building next-generation GPU cloud infrastructure.
NexGen Cloud is the company behind Hyperstack, a high-performance cloud platform powering compute-intensive workloads. Our customers range from AI-native startups to enterprise and research teams running complex, large-scale models.
We’re scaling quickly — both technically and commercially — and building the financial infrastructure to support that growth.
This is not a steady-state finance role. This is about building something that can keep up with a business moving at pace.
The Role
This is a senior leadership role sitting directly below the CFO.
You’ll be responsible for shaping and executing the financial operating model of the business — building structure, improving processes, and ensuring the company has the financial clarity it needs to scale properly.
The role spans four key areas: financial operations, modelling and forecasting, board reporting, and business partnering.
You’ll need to be comfortable switching gears — one minute fixing a broken process, the next supporting strategic decision-making at board level.
Key Responsibilities
Financial Operations & Automation
- Improve and scale core finance processes, with a strong focus on automation and efficiency
- Identify and resolve operational debt across finance systems and workflows
- Strengthen the link between financial data, revenue drivers and business KPIs
- Partner with the CFO to optimise systems (including NetSuite) and data infrastructure
Financial Modelling, Analysis & Forecasting
- Own and evolve the three-statement financial model as the business scales
- Develop robust, driver-based forecasting capability
- Lead and oversee FP&A output, ensuring quality and consistency
- Support strategic planning, scenario modelling and investment decisions
Board & Internal Reporting
- Own the preparation of board-level financial reporting
- Act as a critical review layer (‘four-eyes’) on financial outputs
- Build and improve internal reporting to drive better decision-making
- Support investor and stakeholder reporting requirements
Business Partnering
- Embed budgeting and financial ownership across departments
- Act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders across the business
- Represent finance at leadership level when required
- Support and develop FP&A capability within the team
Core Experience
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience in a senior finance role within a high-growth or scale-up environment
- Strong track record in building and improving finance processes and systems
- Experience developing and owning complex financial models and forecasts
- Exposure to board-level reporting and senior stakeholder engagement
Capabilities
- Strong analytical thinking with the ability to turn complex data into clear insight
- High level of data literacy and comfort working with large datasets
- Ability to operate both strategically and hands-on
- Confident communicator with both technical and non-finance stakeholders
Nice To Have (Not Essential)
- Experience in cloud, infrastructure, or technology-led businesses
- Familiarity with ERP systems such as NetSuite
- Experience scaling finance functions in a fast-moving environment
What You’ll Get
- Competitive salary + discretionary bonus
- 25 days holiday + public holidays
- Flexible hybrid working
- High-impact role with direct CFO and board exposure
- Real ownership of building a finance function at scale
Why NexGen Cloud
We’re not just adding headcount — we’re building capability.
This role sits at the center of that. You’ll have the opportunity to shape how finance operates in a business that’s scaling quickly, solving complex problems, and operating in one of the most relevant sectors in tech.
If you want a role where you can genuinely influence how a company grows — this is it.
