As our first in-house finance hire, you’ll be hands-on in building the function from the ground up: if you don't do it, no one will.
You'll generate forward-looking insights that guide company priorities and tradeoffs, partner with the CEO and Head of Operations on strategic planning, forecasting, and scenario modeling, and anticipate risks and opportunities across our business model, market, and cost structure. At the same time, you'll have the ability to execute and ensure plans translate into results, building confidence that the company can deliver on its goals.
This is also a board-facing role that owns investor reporting and ensures leadership and external stakeholders have clear, accurate visibility into company performance. Beyond keeping the business on track, you'll bring new ideas and apply a strategic lens to how we deploy capital, ensuring we make the right bets that accelerate growth and impact. This role is critical in preparing us for Series B and beyond, with the systems and financial narrative to support our next stage of scale.
