FULL JOB DESCRIPTION
The Finance Assistant Role
As we continue to scale at pace and expand globally, we’re looking for a Finance Assistant to join our growing Finance team at Send. This role is a fantastic opportunity for someone early in their finance career who wants to gain hands-on experience within a fast-moving SaaS business.
You’ll play a key role in supporting the day-to-day financial operations of the company, ensuring accuracy across transactions, invoices, and reporting. Working closely with our Finance Manager and CFO, you’ll get exposure to all aspects of finance in a high-growth tech environment-from accounts payable and receivable to month-end processes-while helping us maintain robust financial controls as we scale.
This is an ideal role for someone who is proactive, detail-oriented, and eager to develop their skills within a supportive, collaborative team. At Send, you’ll have the chance to learn quickly, take ownership, and make a real impact as we continue our mission to be the market-leading underwriting software platform for agile insurers.
About Send
In 2017, Send was founded by Andy Moss, Ben Huckel, and Matt McGrillis with a vision to reshape and enhance the underwriting process for commercial insurers-combining advanced technology with deep industry expertise.
By 2019, we had delivered a commercial and specialty Underwriting Workbench for a leading global insurer-one of the UK’s top five composite insurers and a major FTSE 100 carrier. This solution streamlined operations, improved efficiency, and enabled forward visibility.
In 2022, we won three industry awards for the Underwriting Workbench and raised $10 million in Series A funding to support our expansion in the UK and US.
The following year, in 2023, we launched Smart Submission, a stand-alone component of the Underwriting Workbench, and were named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide P&C Intelligent Underwriting Workbench Applications Vendor Assessment.
In 2024, we were recognised as a Top Provider in the Datos P&C Workbench report and named a Leader in Celent’s Underwriting Workbench reports for both North America and Global Markets.
Our vision is to be the market-leading underwriting software platform for agile carriers.

Our Funding
From 2017 to 2022, we bootstrapped our growth journey, building a profitable and stable company. In November 2022, following a year of strong customer and team growth, we secured $10 million in Series A funding to accelerate our expansion across the UK and US, as well as to further enhance our product development. We’re proud to have the support and expertise of our investors, Mercia and Breega.
We are now preparing for our Series B round and are excited about the growth acceleration this will enable.
The Send Team
Over the past two years, Send has experienced significant growth, expanding our team by over 50% to more than 90 people. At the start of 2024, our team was primarily based in the UK and Poland.
