Finance Lead

About the Role

We’re hiring our first dedicated finance leader—a foundational role that will shape how we operate, make decisions, and scale. You’ll build the financial backbone of the company and help drive strategy at every level.

You’ll partner closely with the CEO and leadership team to own financial planning, fundraising readiness, and company-wide decision making. From modeling and resource allocation to defining the metrics that matter, you’ll turn ambiguity into clarity and help guide the business through its next stage of growth.

This role is ideal for someone who is equally comfortable building from scratch, thinking strategically, and operating hands-on across the business.

• Partner with sales and operations to improve billing, pricing, and collections processes

• Help design and scale clean, reliable quote-to-cash systems

• Ensure financial accuracy and visibility across the revenue lifecycle

Accounting & Financial Infrastructure

• Own the integrity of financial reporting and serve as the accountable finance lead (in partnership with Graphite)

• Ensure accurate close processes, compliance, and reporting

• Build lightweight but scalable financial systems and controls

Insights & Decision Support

• Provide actionable financial insights to leadership

• Build dashboards and reporting that drive clarity and accountability

• Be the go-to partner for “what does this mean financially?” across the company

• Strong financial modeling and analytical skills

• Experience owning or contributing to fundraising (Series A/B+ preferred)
