Multiverse is the upskilling platform for AI and Tech adoption.
We have partnered with 1,500+ companies to deliver a new kind of learning that's transforming today’s workforce.
Our upskilling apprenticeships are designed for people of any age and career stage to build critical AI, data, and tech skills.
Our learners have driven $2bn+ ROI for their employers, using the skills they’ve learned to improve productivity and measurable
performance.
In April 2026, we announced $70 million in strategic funding, led by Schroders Capital, with participation from StepStone Group,
Lightspeed Venture Partners and General Catalyst. At an increased valuation of $2.1bn, the round makes us Europe’s first EdTech
double unicorn.
But we aren’t stopping there. With a strong operational footprint and 800+ employees, we have ambitious plans to continue scaling.
We’re building a world where tech skills unlock people’s potential and output.
Join Multiverse and power our mission to equip the workforce to win in the AI era.
We’re looking for a Finance Operations Manager to join our Group Finance team at Multiverse.
This is a high-ownership role at the intersection of Finance, Sales, and Operations. You’ll take full responsibility for the
end-to-end commissions process for our UK sales organisation — from calculation and payment through to reporting, controls, and
system administration. It’s a role that demands technical rigour and commercial judgement in equal measure, and one that gives you
a genuine seat at the table with Sales leadership and FP&A.
For someone coming from an audit or financial controls background, this is a compelling step into industry. You’ll apply the
controls expertise and analytical depth you’ve built in practice to a fast-moving, high-growth environment — with the added
dimension of driving automation and process improvement as we scale toward the next stage of our growth. The pace, the complexity,
and the IPO-readiness rigour we’re building toward will feel familiar — but the ownership and commercial exposure will be unlike
anything you’ve had before.
As we continue to scale, the scope of this role is expected to grow with us, with the opportunity to take on broader ownership
across the Finance Operations function over time.
and adherence to all commission plans and policies
including bookings, attainment metrics, and quotas
review of monthly accruals in line with IFRS or UK GAAP
trusted relationships across the business
configuration, and reconciliation to payroll
strengthen controls, and leverage AI tools to improve efficiency
for its next stage of growth
ideally from a Big 4 or mid-tier practice background
applying accounting standards to complex, recurring transactions
or SPM systems (e.g. Salesforce, Everstage) is a plus
clearly to Sales leadership and senior stakeholders
examples of driving process improvement
autonomously, and continuously raising the bar
