About Nordic Sculpt
Nordic Sculpt is one of the world’s fastest-growing beauty-tech companies, founded in Scandinavia in December 2023. We create science-backed body care solutions designed to deliver clinic-level results at home—without the high costs or hassle.

Role Summary
The Finance Controller owns Nordic Sculpt’s financial backbone: timely, accurate reporting; forward-looking forecasts; and cost discipline.

You’ll partner closely with the COO/CMO and department leads to turn numbers into decisions.
