Financial Director

• A gross monthly salary between €7,500 and €9,000 based on 40 hours, depending on your experience.

• A key role within our Management Team, with significant responsibility and direct influence on the future of DeWarmte.

• The space to realize your own vision and build a financial organization that grows with us.

• Participation in our SAR program, through which you financially benefit from the growth and success of DeWarmte.

• A company laptop and phone.

• A shared lunch at the office every day.

• Regular team outings and drinks, including our annual beach day and winter sports trip.

• An informal, entrepreneurial working environment with short lines, ambitious colleagues, and plenty of room for personal initiative.

At DeWarmte, we make smart and affordable heat pumps that help homes move away from gas. We design our products ourselves, assemble them in Utrecht, and work together with our installation partners to ensure they reach more and more people's homes.

We are growing fast. With a significant growth spurt in the number of applications, a growing operation in the Netherlands, and our first steps in Germany, a new phase is beginning. Therefore, we are looking for a Financial Director who will become part of our Management Team and take full responsibility for Finance.

You will become our fourth MT member and work closely with our CEO, COO, and People Director on the further growth of DeWarmte.

You are not starting from scratch. Our founders have established a strong financial foundation, with an integrated financial model that has already proven itself during multiple funding rounds and due diligence processes. Now we are looking for someone to build upon that and take Finance to the next level.

And you will be given all the space to do so.

You will develop your own vision for the financial organization, establish a financial roadmap, and build a scalable team. You translate figures into better decisions, challenge existing assumptions, and help us make the right choices as we grow.

We are looking for someone who thinks strategically, but also enjoys rolling up their sleeves. Someone who sees the bigger picture, but just as easily dives into the details to solve a financial issue.

As Financial Director, you hold ultimate responsibility for Finance and, as an MT member, you contribute to the direction of DeWarmte. You build upon a strong financial foundation and ensure that our financial organization is ready for the next growth phase.

• You develop the financial strategy and roadmap and translate our growth ambitions into concrete plans and objectives.

• You are a strategic sparring partner for the founders and the MT. You challenge assumptions, assess opportunities, and assist with important investment and business decisions.

• You translate financial and operational data into insights that improve our performance, profitability, and decision-making.

• You take ownership of our integrated financial model and are responsible for budgeting, forecasting, scenario analysis, and management reporting.

• You manage cash flow, liquidity, and working capital, ensuring that we can continue to financially support our growth.

• You lead the financial preparation of funding rounds and due diligence processes and handle reporting to shareholders.

• You ensure reliable financial administration, reporting, and compliance, including the further setup of our German activities.

• You develop and lead our Finance team, starting with a Financial Controller, and manage our external financial partners.

• You improve processes and systems and leverage automation and AI to organize Finance more intelligently and efficiently.

• You ensure clear financial responsibilities and controls, without unnecessary bureaucracy.

So, you combine strategy with execution. One day you discuss long-term strategy with the MT, the next day you dive into a forecast yourself, work on a financing issue, or improve a process. You feel comfortable at both levels.

• Extensive experience in senior financial roles, preferably within a fast-growing company or a scale-up.

• A strong background in both financial control and financial planning & analysis (FP&A).

• Experience in translating business strategy into financial plans and concrete results.

• Strong financial modeling skills and a good understanding of P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and the operational factors that influence them.

• The ability to build a financial function and team without losing touch with daily practice yourself.

• You think like an entrepreneur. You look beyond the numbers and understand how Finance contributes to the success of the entire company.

• You have your own vision. You bring ideas to the table, challenge the status quo, and dare to critically disagree with the founders and other MT members.

• You build on what works well. You take the time to understand the business and existing processes before determining what can be improved.

• You take ownership. You do not wait for someone to tell you what needs to be done, but you see opportunities, set priorities, and take action.

• You combine strategy with execution. You get energy from setting direction, but just as much from getting things done yourself.

• You feel at home in a scale-up. You love speed, can deal with change and uncertainty, and do not need a fully worked-out plan to make progress.

A real seat at the table. As the fourth member of our Management Team, you have direct influence on our strategy, priorities, and future.

The chance to build something. A strong financial foundation is in place, but you will be given the space and responsibility to shape the financial organization, the team, and the roadmap for the coming years.

A company in the midst of an important growth phase. In a phase of growing activities and international ambitions, you join at a moment when strong financial leadership can truly make the difference.

An entrepreneurial, hands-on culture. We make decisions quickly, give people a lot of responsibility, and continuously look for ways to improve. We value people who think critically, help each other, and turn plans into action.

A mission that matters. We build technology that accelerates the energy transition. Through your work, you help make sustainable heating accessible to more and more households.

We are looking for someone who wants more than just being responsible for the numbers. Someone who wants to help build a company, provide direction, and make a lasting impact.

Do you recognize yourself in this? Then we would love to meet you.
