What You'll Do

Lead the Financial Function: Own all FP&A and accounting operations with extreme precision — budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and controls.
Drive Strategic Decisions: Partner with the CEO and executive team to shape company strategy, guide resource allocation, and structure the business for long-term success.
Build for Scale: Streamline reporting, strengthen financial controls, enhance forecasting accuracy, and implement scalable systems and tooling across the finance function.
Lead Fundraising & Capital Strategy: Own our investor relationships and fundraising processes. Structure and negotiate equity, debt, and alternative financing to fuel growth while minimizing dilution.
Be the Connective Tissue: Deeply integrate financial strategy across sales, operations, and product — acting as a force multiplier for other teams and leaders, not a roadblock.
Manage Risk: Anticipate and mitigate financial and regulatory risks as we scale, ensuring compliance and keeping the company ahead of market shifts and operational bottlenecks.

Startup Spirit: Ambitious, action-oriented, and willing to go all in alongside the team as a player-coach.
