WE ARE THIRST

We’re not anyone’s agency. We are strategic & creative partners to the best and most ambitious beverage brands in the world. And we do things differently: the quality of thinking we provide. Our upfront investment in strategy. Our genuinely global team chosen for their expertise rather than their locations. And our proactive approach to developing and delivering the creative solutions you need. It all ensures we can produce consistently amazing work that sells, whatever the channel.
We’ve got offices in New York and Glasgow, people all over the world, and a team that likes to play nice and push themselves. Never to the limits of mental or physical exhaustion (we’re building a different kind of culture here) but to the edge of their professional comfort zones. We’re always challenging both ourselves and the brands we work with to do better, go bigger, and be bolder.
We’re looking for a Finance Manager / Financial Controller (Hybrid role) to own the finance function end-to-end. This role blends hands-on financial control with commercial partnering: you’ll ensure our finances are rock solid, reporting is accurate and insightful, and leadership has the data needed to make bold, confident decisions.
You’ll report directly to the Managing Director, working closely with the senior team as a trusted partner. This is a rare chance to step beyond “back-office finance” and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of a creative agency with global ambitions.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Professionally qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent)
• Proven experience as a Finance Manager, Controller, or hybrid role, ideally within a creative, design, or professional services agency
• Experience managing P&Ls across multiple offices highly valued
• Strong analytical skills: able to turn numbers into actionable insight
• Commercial mindset: more than reporting — you challenge assumptions and drive smarter decisions
• Proficiency with Xero and strong Excel/Google Sheets modelling skills
• Excellent communicator, confident working closely with senior leadership
• Organised, detail-driven, and proactive - you don’t just report the numbers, you make them work harder for the business
