Andromeda Robotics
About Andromeda Robotics
Andromeda Robotics is a fast-growing, Series A social robotics company dedicated to enhancing quality of life, starting with aged care residents. With a passionate team across San Francisco, CA and Melbourne, Australia, we are at the forefront of assistive technology. Our flagship robot, Abi, is already deployed and making a difference in Australian (and soon American) aged care homes, and we're just getting started. We are seeking a strategic, hands-on VP of Finance to join our executive team and help steer our financial future as we scale globally. The Role
As the VP of Finance of Andromeda Robotics, you will be a key strategic partner to the CEO and the executive team. You will be responsible for building and leading the finance function, driving our financial strategy, and preparing the company for its next phase of growth, including future fundraising rounds (Series B and beyond). This is a hands-on role that requires a blend of high-level strategy and a willingness to roll up your sleeves. What You'll Do
Strategic Financial Leadership: Partner with the CEO and leadership to develop and execute the company's financial strategy, long-range planning, and annual budget. Provide insightful financial analysis and data-driven recommendations to guide business decisions. Fundraising & Investor Relations: Lead the financial aspects of future fundraising efforts (Series B and beyond), including preparing financial models, managing due diligence, and building relationships with investors. Serve as a primary point of contact for the board and investment community on all financial matters. Financial Operations & Control: Oversee all financial operations, including accounting, financial reporting (GAAP), FP&A, tax, and treasury. Build and refine scalable financial processes and internal controls suitable for a growing international company. International Finance Management: Manage the complexities of our dual-office structure in the US and Australia, including international accounting standards, tax implications, and transfer pricing. Business Partnership: Collaborate with the executive team and lead reviews of budgeting, forecasting, and key performance indicator (KPI) tracking. Provide financial modeling and analysis for key initiatives, such as pricing strategies, hardware COGS, and international expansion. Team Leadership: Build and mentor a high-performing finance and accounting team as the company grows. Why Join Us?
Impact: Play a pivotal role in scaling a company that is making a tangible, positive impact on society. Growth: Join a well-funded Series A company on a rapid growth trajectory with significant opportunities for personal and professional development. Team: Be part of a brilliant, collaborative, and mission-driven team that is passionate about solving big problems. Ownership: A competitive compensation package including a compelling salary and meaningful equity. Requirements Experience: You have 10+ years of progressive finance experience, with at least 3-5 years in a senior leadership role (e.g., VP of Finance or CFO) at a venture-backed, high-growth technology startup. Fundraising Pro: You have a proven track record of successfully raising venture capital, ideally leading a Series B or later funding round. Industry Background: Experience in hardware, autonomy, voice assistants, or SaaS is highly desirable. You understand business models that involve both hardware (COGS, inventory) and software (recurring revenue). Global Mindset: You have experience managing finances for a company with international operations, preferably with exposure to U.S. and Australian markets. Strategic & Hands-On: You can operate at a 30,000-foot strategic level but are equally comfortable diving into the details of a financial model or accounting reconciliation. Mission-Driven: You are passionate about our mission to improve aged care and are excited to work in a fast-paced, innovative environment. An entrepreneurial spirit and a high degree of integrity are essential. Qualifications: A Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field. An MBA and/or CPA is strongly preferred. Benefits Base Salary (180-250K USD) + Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP) Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision) Retirement Plan (401k) Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays) Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity) Short Term & Long Term Disability
