DMGT's venture arm, dmg ventures, investment, bloobloom is seeking a strategic CFO to support them in their rapidly expanding start up based in Notting Hill, London.

bloobloom was created to change the way people buy their glasses by rebuilding the entire experience.

In a market populated by dinosaurs, we're putting design and technology back at the heart of the process of buying a pair of glasses, making the journey fun and exciting without costing a small fortune.
