About the role

  • Own all financial strategy, planning, forecasting, and analysis with a strong bias toward clear, decisive execution.
  • Design and operationalize the company’s financial infrastructure—processes, systems, reporting cadences, and the overall financial operating model (how we budget, plan, track, measure, and adapt).
  • Develop and maintain scalable financial models that support strategic decisions, scenario planning, and long-term planning.
  • Create operational discipline around budgeting, runway management, spend, and cash flow optimization.
  • Provide leadership with data-driven guidance on investments, trade-offs, pacing of growth, and when/where to pull back.
  • Evaluate key cross-functional initiatives (Product, GTM, Operations) and provide strategic, actionable financial recommendations.
  • Ensure compliance, strong financial controls, and accurate reporting across accounting, FP&A, tax, audit, and treasury.
  • Partner closely with the CEO and executive team to align financial strategy with company priorities and drive execution.
  • Translate financial insights into clear, actionable recommendations for the leadership team and board.
  • Support fundraising, investor reporting, and potential M&A processes.
  • Build and scale a small but high-impact finance team over time (FP&A essential; accounting/controller experience a plus).

Requirements

  • 8–12+ years of progressive finance experience, including leadership roles in high-growth startups or scale-ups (ideally Series A–C).
  • Proven ability to partner directly with CEOs, founders, and boards in fast-moving environments.

  • Experience managing fundraising, investor reporting, and/or M&A is a significant plus.
