Finance Manager Jobs

Finance management represents the senior financial leadership tier, and with 14 active roles these are selective, high-impact positions at some of Ireland's most prominent organisations. Dublin accounts for 10 positions, with single roles in Kildare and Galway.

The employer list is remarkably diverse. Flutter Group (formerly Paddy Power Betfair) leads with 2 positions for its global betting and gaming operations — a company that is one of Ireland's largest by market capitalisation. BAM recruits a finance manager for its construction operations. Daa (Dublin Airport Authority) hires for its aviation finance function. Elgin Energy adds a renewable energy dimension — the company is one of Europe's largest independent solar energy developers.

Irish Life recruits for insurance and pensions finance management. PwC at One Spencer Dock hires finance managers for its advisory practice. Revolut adds fintech financial leadership. Screen Ireland brings an arts and culture funding perspective — one of the most unusual finance management contexts in the Irish market.

&Open, a gifting platform, and Spectrum.Life, a wellbeing technology company, represent the startup and scale-up end of the market. These smaller companies often offer broader scope than larger organisations — a finance manager at a 50-person company is effectively a mini-CFO.

What does the role involve? Finance managers are responsible for financial reporting, budgeting and forecasting, cash flow management, management accounting, and financial controls. The distinction from financial analyst roles is accountability: finance managers own the numbers and present them to boards, investors, and regulators. Qualifications typically require ACA, ACCA, or CIMA with several years post-qualification experience. The career path leads from Finance Manager through Senior Finance Manager and Financial Controller to VP Finance and CFO — with each step bringing greater strategic influence over business decisions.

The small number of active roles reflects the seniority of the function rather than weak demand � finance manager positions are typically filled through networks and executive search, making the roles that do appear on HiringNow.ie particularly valuable leads. Candidates at this level are expected to partner with the CEO and board on strategic decisions, present to investors and auditors, and manage teams of accountants and financial analysts. The cross-sector nature of the current listings � from aviation to solar energy to film funding � demonstrates that strong financial leadership is transferable across industries, with the common thread being the ability to provide clear, actionable financial insight under pressure.
