We're not your average benefits platform; we're the unordinary force that uplifts people's lives. Our technology is the link that connects the entire benefits ecosystem, creating better outcomes for employers, employees, brokers, and providers.

Our mission is clear: we're here to create a world where everything operates at its very best, ensuring that every employee receives the support they need to live life to the fullest, both at work and beyond.

Your Mission

As Head of Finance you'll be reporting into the CEO and will be a key strategic partner to the leadership team, providing insight-driven financial planning and analysis to support decision-making. You will also oversee the finance operations function, ensuring that billing, invoicing, and statutory reporting are executed efficiently and accurately. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment and is eager to make a significant impact.

This role will be a perfect fit if you...

  • Thrive in fast-paced, high-growth startup environments and have held similar roles before.

  • Bring top-tier financial modelling expertise and a solid grasp of key SaaS metrics like ARR, CAC, LTV, and churn.

  • Have hands-on experience navigating the fundraising process from preparation to execution.

  • Excel at distilling complex financial data into clear, strategic insights, and can confidently communicate them to senior leadership.

  • Have a proven track record of leading teams and driving cross-functional collaboration in dynamic settings.

What We Do

Ben is the unordinary global flexible benefits platform that lifts people up.

Our mission is to create a world working at its best. Where every individual can live their best life — at work and outside of work. Our technology connects the entire benefits ecosystem, creating better outcomes for employers, employees, brokers, and providers.

We envision a world where in-work benefits make us feel seen and heard not as employees, but as people. Where we live our lives in full-colour, expressing ourselves through the benefits we choose.

Benefits can play a pivotal role in reshaping the world of work — one where work moves from just sustaining livelihoods to shaping lives. In our increasingly connected world, the idea of work-life balance is outdated. We’ve moved beyond putting up walls between work and life — work feeds into life and life feeds into work.

With tens of millions in benefits spend managed for our customers all around the world, we’re transforming the landscape of benefits and work-life integration.

Switch Ben On for benefits that work for life
