Head of Finance

Sava
London
About Sava

All the health information we need is within us. Just below the skin. SAVA is redefining the way people interact with their health by developing the most advanced biosensing technology science has to offer, capable of accessing bodily information in a painless, real-time and affordable way.

The Role

We’re hiring our very first Head of Finance to design, establish and lead the financial function of the company.

You won’t be inheriting legacy systems - we need someone to build a financial infrastructure that drives strategy and enables smart, scalable growth. You’ll work closely with the Founders and Leadership Team to translate financial data into clear insights that drive company-wide decisions on hiring, scaling, and investment.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and build a robust budgeting framework, combining top-down strategy with bottom-up detail to enable smart, dynamic planning
  • Establish deep, actionable insight into company spend to support financial discipline, understand cost drivers, make strategic trade-offs, and assist in ongoing cost optimisation
  • Support fundraising strategy, including scenario modelling, Cap Table management, due diligence and investor materials
  • Lead the transition from basic tools to robust financial systems that scale with us
  • Evaluate pricing, margin, and commercial models to support go-to-market and product strategy
  • Partner on key decisions and exciting upcoming milestones, including manufacturing scale-up, regulatory strategy and international expansion

What We’re Looking For

This isn’t just about skills, it’s about mindset. We’re looking for someone who:

  • Has a strong background in finance, particularly areas including Investment Banking, Accounting, Consulting, Venture Capital, Private Equity or other strategic finance
  • Has a demonstrated track record of building financial operations from scratch
  • Has deep fluency in Excel, strong financial modelling, and a strategic mindset
  • Has a builder’s mentality - you are excited by creating architecture from scratch, not just using existing systems
  • Comfortably switches between long-term planning and granular detail
  • Owns outcomes not just processes - you are committed to driving the company’s mission
  • Stays grounded and effective amid rapid growth and evolving priorities
  • Thinks independently and is not afraid to challenge decisions
  • Embraces ambiguity and understands the the pace, pressure, and unpredictability of a high growth startup

Bonus Points For

  • Exposure to Medtech, regulated hardware, or other similar sectors
  • Experience supporting a fast-scaling startup
  • Experience with fundraising, investor relations, and scenario planning

Why Sava?

This is a high-ownership, high-responsibility role in a company that’s building something complex, meaningful, and fast. The expectations are high, the learning curve is steep, and the work is often messy - but the impact is real.

We don’t have room for egos or passengers. What we do have is a team of thoughtful, driven, and mission-aligned people who are committed to building something better—and doing it with urgency and integrity.
