    Finance Director - Birmingham, United Kingdom - Good Growth Limited

    Good Growth Limited
    Good Growth Limited Birmingham, United Kingdom

    2 weeks ago

    Default job background
    CDI
    Description

    Location: Birmingham, UK (>= 1 day per week)

    Home working vs. office: we are flexible with regard to home working vs. office; we want you to work where you do your best work. As a guide, across our business we will typically do 1 or 2 days a week in the office. In the early stages of your career with us, we may ask you to be in the office more, but we will always seek to be accommodating (e.g. childcare; appointments; etc.).

    Who are Good Growth?

    Good Growth's mission is to fix the way online innovation is done - the current approaches are fraught with risk and hampered by legacy technology. We use our clients' legacy technology in combination with our data, insight and technology platforms to facilitate low-risk, high-speed, iterative, data-driven online innovation. That is, exploration of the set of possible future states of their website(s) through the scientific method. We allow our clients to test the future by using their legacy technology as an asset.

    We are based in Birmingham and Exeter (as well as having a few people dotted around in Oxford, Haywards Heath, Chelmsford, and London).

    3. Work date - we invite all candidates (for all roles) to spend a day in the business to get a much better sense of what the job would actually be like, with whom you'd be working, etc. This is as much for you as it is for us.
