About Oddbox
Oddbox is on a mission to tackle food waste, one of the most solvable climate challenges, responsible for nearly five times the emissions of the aviation sector. Our subscription service has already saved over 50 million kilograms of fruit and vegetables. Join our team to help create even greater impact and inspire more people to reduce food waste – one curvy cucumber at a time.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Finance Manager to take ownership of our day-to-day financial control and accounting function and play a key role in supporting Oddbox as we grow. This is a brilliant opportunity for a hands-on, detail-oriented finance professional to join a purpose-led SME and build strong financial foundations that scale with the business.
You'll report to our Senior Finance Manager and work closely with internal teams to drive accurate reporting, smooth processes, and meaningful insights. As Oddbox continues to evolve its proposition and grow its impact, you’ll ensure our finance systems and operations grow alongside it.
This is a broad and high-impact role - ideal for someone who has worked in a consumer led food or drinks based business and is now looking to take on more ownership and responsibility. Exposure to subscription models is a definite plus.

🍐 Line manage and support the development of our Finance Assistant

🥦 Hands-on experience managing audits and liaising with external advisors
🥦 Experience with stock accounting and ERP systems

Required Mindset & Behaviours
🥝 Self-starter who takes initiative and thrives in a fast-paced environment
🥝 Analytical and curious, always looking to improve how things are done
🥝 Process-driven and comfortable implementing best practice
🥝 Commercial mindset – sees the bigger picture and how finance supports growth
🥝 Collaborative and approachable – a natural relationship-builder across teams
🥝 Passionate about purpose and motivated by Oddbox’s mission
