Welcome to Curve. On a mission to help you live inspired.

As our FinOps Manager, you will be the driving force behind Curve’s end-to-end finance operations - spanning accounts payable, accounts receivable, bank reconciliations, journal postings and system health (NetSuite).

This is an opportunity to shape a best-in-class finance function, working with modern tools such as NetSuite and Spendesk, while influencing financial operations across the organisation.
