Finance Operations Specialist

About the role

The onboarding experience of a new Sparta colleague is shaped long before they sit down at their desk. Does their equity grant show up cleanly? Does their first payslip land correctly? Does booking travel feel smooth rather than stressful? Across six countries and dozens of monthly edge cases, somebody makes all of that feel effortless. That somebody is you. This role exists because three workflows - payroll, equity, and travel - touch the same people, the same data, and the same trust. Holding them together, inside Finance, is how Sparta ensures the back-office of working here just works. You report to the Head of Accounting, work closely with the Senior Accountant and the wider Finance team, and partner with local payroll providers across Switzerland, the UK, Spain, Singapore, the UAE, and the US.

• Data, Reporting & Continuous Improvement.
• AI & Ways of Working.
• Who You Will Work With
