Job description

DSwiss provides trusted Swiss infrastructure through SecureSafe for the secure exchange, delivery, and storage of confidential information. Banks, insurers, public institutions, and other regulated organizations around the world trust our solutions to protect their most sensitive information. Hosted entirely in Switzerland, SecureSafe combines data sovereignty, security, and privacy by design, backed by ISO 27001 certification and a zero-knowledge architecture.

We are looking for a hands-on and operationally strong Head of Finance to take full ownership of our Finance function and join our Management Team. Reporting directly to the CEO and working closely with the Board, you will shape a modern, lean and highly automated Finance setup as we continue to scale internationally. Your strength in strategic financial leadership, from planning and reporting to compliance and cross-border coordination, puts you in a strong position to streamline how Finance runs across the company and build a function that scales with it.

  • Several years of relevant Finance experience in a hands-on, entrepreneurial environment
  • Strong knowledge of Swiss accounting standards and the Swiss Code of Obligations
  • Fluency in German and English (C1)
  • Experience in SaaS, software or technology, or a strong understanding of SaaS metrics and economics
  • Strong understanding of cash flow, forecasting, financial modelling and cost management
  • Demonstrated experience in improving, automating and simplifying Finance processes
  • Experience working in an international Finance setup, including the coordination of internal and external Finance resources
  • Pragmatic, analytical and comfortable challenging the status quo
  • Comfortable taking end-to-end ownership of Finance in a lean organization, combining hands-on execution with management-level thinking

Experience with Abacus and familiarity with systems such as Chargebee, Datatrans or comparable billing, payment and Finance platforms will be a strong advantage. We particularly value candidates who understand how ERP, billing, payments, CRM and reporting systems should work together and can challenge the existing setup rather than simply operate it. Take end-to-end ownership of Finance, including planning, forecasting, reporting, accounting, cash flow and liquidity management

  • Drive the simplification, automation and digitalization of Finance processes and reduce manual work
  • Review and optimize our Finance operating model, systems, external providers and end-to-end processes
  • Actively drive cost transparency and optimization, challenging existing spend, suppliers and structures
  • Further develop meaningful SaaS and business KPIs to support management decisions
  • Ensure efficient monthly and year-end closing and compliance with Swiss accounting and statutory requirements
  • Own our international Finance setup end-to-end, providing functional leadership to our Finance resource in Portugal and managing all relevant internal and external Finance partners, including auditors, tax advisors and fiduciaries
  • As a member of the Management Team, contribute to company-wide decisions and act as a sparring partner to the CEO and other functional leaders
  • Support reporting and communication towards the Board, shareholders, banks and other key stakeholders

Job benefits

  • A Management Team position with direct exposure to the CEO and Board, significant freedom to shape our future Finance setup, and the opportunity to build a modern, scalable and highly automated Finance function in a Swiss technology company.
  • 30 days of vacation, flexible working hours and a hybrid work model with a central office in Zurich.
  • An international, ambitious team, regular company offsites and plenty of room to help shape processes and ways of working.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
