Your Mission
The Finance Manager role is a critical role for scaling Field in Spain. You will be the first in our finance function within a small but rapidly growing team headed by our Spanish General Manager. You will also be responsible for overall finance operations, working closely with the Central UK finance team and other international finance colleagues to set up the finance function, manage a rapidly growing portfolio of project entities through their development, construction and operating phases of our grid scale infrastructure assets and of course more generally help to keep the commercial team moving.
Key Responsibilities
This is a broad and varied role which will be instrumental in supporting our continued business growth in this exciting new industry across Spain. You will manage all of the key financial processes for the Spanish legal entities.
Key responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:
1. Accounts + Reporting

- Assist with financial analysis of projects/assets.
5. Legal Compliance
- Coordinate and support the establishment of new entities (company registration, notaries, digital signatures).
- Manage the issuance and administration of guarantees (grid bonds, performance guarantees).
- Oversee legal compliance processes in financial operations.
6. Relationship / Stakeholder Management
- Coordinate and collaborate with local and international teams (Commercial, Treasury, FP&A, Procurement, Legal).

- Support M&A processes, project financing, and due diligence management.
- Build effective relationships with subsidiaries and headquarters.
