Description The Head of Finance (PCF-11) holds overall responsibility for the financial resources, financial reporting, and safeguarding (including PCF-56 responsibility) of customer funds for TrueLayer (Ireland) Limited (TIL), reporting on these matters to the TIL Board whilst reporting to the Group VP of Finance on a day to day basis. This is a senior, semi stand-alone role for someone who wants genuine ownership of the finance and safeguarding agenda for a regulated entity, while being supported by TrueLayer's centralised Group Finance team for transactional finance support. You will be the face of finance for TIL: the named PCF holder accountable to the Central Bank of Ireland, the person the Board, auditors, and regulator turn to for assurance on the numbers and on safeguarding, and a hands-on operator who is comfortable rolling up their sleeves when needed in a lean, scaling environment. You will be expected to actively develop and champion the use of AI tools (such as TrueLayer's Dust platform) to drive efficiency in this role, automating routine reconciliation, reporting, and audit-evidence tasks so that your time is focused on judgement, oversight, and regulatory accountability. What we expect from you as a Head of Finance (PCF 11) and Head of Safeguarding (PCF 56): • Regulatory accountability (PCF-11) - Hold the PCF-11 Head of Finance function for TIL, meeting the Central Bank of Ireland’s Fitness & Probity standards on an ongoing basis (annual F&P self-certification, conduct standards attestation, and cooperation with CBI engagement as required). - Act as a credible, transparent point of contact for the CBI on finance and safeguarding matters, supporting the Head of Compliance and MLRO on joint regulatory engagements where relevant. - Maintain personal and professional standards consistent with the CBI’s Conduct Standards and Individual Accountability Framework (IAF/SEAR). • Safeguarding (PCF 56) - Own end-to-end responsibility for the safeguarding of customer funds in line with TIL's Safeguarding Policy and the European Union (Payment Services) Regulations. - Oversee daily internal and external safeguarding reconciliations, ensuring funds that should be segregated are segregated and that TIL's own funds are never commingled with customer money. - Be an active participant in the relationship with safeguarding banking partners (e.g. ClearBank), including acknowledgement letters, account structures, and authorised signer arrangements. - Act as the business owner for the annual internal safeguarding audit of TIL and coordinate any external safeguarding audit commissioned by, or in anticipation of, CBI expectations. - Escalate
