Finance Associate - EMEA

Who are Tyk, and what do we do?
The Tyk API Management platform is helping to drive the connected world and power new products and services. We’re changing the way that organisations connect any number of their systems and services. Whether internal, external, public or highly encrypted systems, Tyk helps businesses drive value across the retail, finance, telecoms, healthcare, or media industries (to name just a few!) 

If you’ve banked online, used an app to check the news, or perhaps even driven a connected car, API’s, and by extension, Tyk, make that possible. Founded in 2015 with offices in London - UK, London - Ontario, Atlanta and Singapore, we have many thousands of users of our B2B platform across the globe. Brands using Tyk range from Lotte, Bell, T Mobile, to RBS, Capital One and Vinci. We have a varied user base hailing from every continent – even Antarctica.

Tyk is on a mission to connect every system in the world. We’ve started by building an API Management platform.

The role: 

We’re looking for a Finance Associate to join the Tyk Finance Team. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a fast-growing, dynamic organisation with strong career development potential in a remote-first environment.

You will work closely with our hands-on Finance Manager and CFO, helping to shape the finance function and build strong foundations as we scale. You will also support accounting partners/advisors across the UK, USA, Singapore, and Canada.

In our culture of radical responsibility, you will have the autonomy to shape your day while responding to business needs. You’ll need to be comfortable with a broad remit, managing multiple projects, and bringing creativity and curiosity to everything you do.

Here’s what we’re looking for:    

• Proven experience in high-growth or scaling organisations
• Experience building and scaling finance processes in a global, multi-entity environment

• Driven by data and analytics with a passion for impact
• Tenacious, curious, adaptable, and brings humility and empathy to work

• Everyone has unlimited paid holidays. 
• We have total flexibility in hours, as we believe creativity flows better when our people are given freedom to decide when they are most productive. Everyone is unique after all.
• Employee share scheme
• Generous maternity and paternity leave
• Volunteering Days
• Employee Wellbeing platform

We all share the same vision - we value authenticity, respect, responsibility, independence, honesty, diversity and inclusion and most importantly treating others how you wish to be treated. We look for like-minded people who bring their personalities to work everyday, strive to achieve their personal goals and who are willing to challenge the way we do things, why? - to make what we do even better!

Our values tell the story of Tyk - here’s how:

• It’s ok to screw up! 

We’ve found that it’s often the ‘stupid’ or unexpected ideas that turn out to be the successful ones - so try it, at least we can say we have!

• The only stupid idea, is the untested one! 

It’s in our DNA - starting a business with founders 12 hours apart, giving our gateway away for free - sure, we did that, and we’d do it again!

• Trust starts with you - make it count! 

Trust is a two-way street - instil it from day one!

• Assume best intent! 

We have each other’s back - we’re all on the same team. Think before you speak or act. 

• Make things better! 

Always try to leave things better than when you found them - change is constant, inevitable and embraced! Be that change we want to see.
