Head of Finance, Ghent

Ready to build the financial backbone of a fast growing manufacturing SaaS scale up?

Founded in 2016, Azumuta is a Manufacturing SaaS company helping factories worldwide digitalize operations, improve efficiency, and ensure quality and safety. As we scale globally, we are looking for a Head of Finance to bring structure, clarity, and control to our growth.

This is a high ownership role at the heart of the company. You will work closely with the CEO and leadership team to build a scalable finance function, improve visibility, and support better decision making across the business.

You combine strategic thinking with a hands on mindset and enjoy turning complexity into structure.

Your mission

Own and build the finance function end to end

Bring structure and scalability to financial processes and systems

Support leadership with clear financial insights and decision making

Ensure operational excellence across reporting, cash, and planning

What you will do Financial Planning&Performance

Own budgeting, forecasting, and financial modeling. Build and maintain SaaS metrics dashboards (ARR, NRR, CAC, LTV, burn) and translate them into crisp, actionable insights for leadership.

Financial Operations&Reporting

Run day-to-day financial operations: monthly close, reporting, invoicing, and accounting coordination. You're hands-on here— you do this yourself, not just oversee it.

Cash Flow&Cost Efficiency

Manage working capital and cash flow actively. Identify and drive efficiency improvements while keeping the business funded for growth.

Finance Systems&Tooling

Evaluate, implement, and own the finance stack (ERP or equivalent). Build visibility across teams through dashboards and structured reporting.

Contracts&Revenue Integrity

Own the structure and quality of all customer contracts. Standardize templates, align with pricing and billing logic, and ensure clean data for invoicing, renewals, and revenue recognition.

Governance&Stakeholder Support

Prepare board and investor reporting. Support CEO decision-making. Manage relationships with banking partners, auditors, and tax advisors.

Cross-functional Partnership

Work closely with Sales, R&D, and People to align financial planning with company priorities. Be the finance voice in the room— not just a service provider, but a true business partner.

Hands on means being actively involved in the day to day execution, especially in the near term. As the company grows, you’ll help build and lead a lean team, but this role is best suited for someone who enjoys combining strategic thinking with rolling up their sleeves when needed.

You would be a great fit if you

Have 8-12+ years in finance, controlling, FP&A, or audit— with at least some time in a SaaS or fast-growing tech environment

Are genuinely hands-on: you've built processes, run the close yourself, and don't wait for a team to execute

Are strong in financial modeling, SaaS metrics, and turning data into clear leadership narratives

Have implemented or meaningfully improved a finance system (ERP, billing tooling, or equivalent)

Communicate clearly— both in numbers and in plain language — with founders, investors, and operators

Thrive in ambiguity and fast-moving environments where the playbook is still being written

Have experience working with or owning commercial contracts in a B2B SaaS context

Have held a finance leadership role in a SaaS scale-up or high-growth environment
