About Nous

Nous is a household AI agent. It takes over the bills and admin people don't have time for and acts for them: switching energy, buying insurance, cancelling forgotten subscriptions, managing the family calendar. Nearly 250,000 UK households have signed up, and another joins every minute.

We think the real value of AI isn't writing amazing cover letters, it's doing useful things in the real world for real people. That's the hard part, and a brilliant product is only half of it. An energy switch takes weeks, so our agents run on long-running workflows, not a single chat turn. Cancelling a subscription means a browser agent handling the code Apple sends to your phone. Buying insurance meant getting our regulatory principal comfortable with an agent doing it end to end (a UK first), which comes down to knowing exactly when the LLM should hand over to rules because a mistake would cost someone real money.

We're about 30 people running one agent across energy, broadband, mobile, insurance, mortgages and subscriptions (with more being added), each with its own suppliers, rules and ways of going wrong. With far more problems than people, a person or small team owns each one end to end, from spotting it in the data or a customer conversation to shipping the fix. And because the agent acts, you find out quickly whether the fix worked.

Everyone builds here: a product engineer launched our subscription cancellation product within a couple of months of joining, and a PM rebuilt our WhatsApp agent.

And it's working. We're growing more than 20x year on year, with a market-leading NPS above +80, and we manage well over half a billion pounds of household spending. We've raised more than $30M from Heartcore, Mosaic and a who's who of entrepreneurs who founded Monzo, GoCardless, lastminute.com and Onfido. But the real draw is the team - ask anyone here why they joined and you'll get some version of "to do great work with really smart people".

The goal is household life that's simpler, cheaper and fairer, and most of that is still to build.

Our Culture

We are an AI-native business where everyone builds and ships, Finance included. We believe the best Finance teams don’t just report on what happened; they build the systems, processes and controls that help the business move faster.

We offer real ownership, real trust, and the freedom to build things that would normally take a much bigger team.

Finance has entered its Building era

Yesterday’s finance teams governed money; today’s finance teams increasingly help build and architect the automated systems that consume, move and generate it. That means Finance can’t just look at an Excel sheet at month-end and explain what happened. It needs to be much closer to the action: building data infrastructure that makes these economics visible, sitting alongside engineering teams, creating automated guardrails, and understanding metrics like cost-per-successful-task.

The opportunity isn’t just to control what gets built; it’s to help build it better from the start.

About the Role

You’ll join as the second person in our Finance team, working directly with Michelle Stewart, Head of Finance.

Michelle has an engineering background and 15+ years of experience advising, investing in and operating VC-backed tech businesses, most recently as Finance Director at Engine by Starling and VP Finance at Qogita.

This is a broad role with a lot to build. We’ve already started automating some of our core Finance workflows. So your first challenge will be to build on that foundation, improving and automating how Finance works, and putting in place the processes, data and controls that allow us to run a lean Finance function at scale.

From there, the opportunity goes well beyond running the numbers. Finance plays a central role in how Nous makes decisions, launches products and grows, and as the business becomes more complex, that role will only deepen.

You’ll take ownership across accounting, reporting, controls and the close, while working directly with teams across the business, heads of department and founders. You’ll have plenty of scope to shape how Finance operates as we scale: what we automate, what we measure, and where better financial insight can drive better decisions.
