About Bespoke Lab

Our work has driven foundational datasets like OpenThoughts and state-of-the-art models such as Bespoke-MiniCheck and Bespoke-MiniChart

About the Role
Bespoke Labs is hiring a Tech Lead to own the corporate finance function end-to-end — sourcing capital, structuring investment decisions, and maximizing shareholder value through short- and long-term financial planning. You’ll lead a small team across capital budgeting, capital financing, working capital, accounting, taxation, and dividend decisions, and you’ll be the trusted partner to the CFO, Controller, and Treasury

Scope: Three Pillars of Corporate Finance

• Capital budgeting — prioritize funds toward the most profitable projects; NPV, IRR, and payback analysis; estimate future cash flows and compare planned investments to potential proceeds.

• Capital financing — balance debt vs. equity; manage bank borrowings, debt issuance, equity rounds, WACC, and covenants — minimizing default risk without diluting early investors.

• Working capital management — ensure short-term liquidity for operations; cash forecasting, AR/AP, FX, credit lines, and commercial paper backups.

What You’ll Lead

• Set strategy across the three corporate finance pillars; own the annual plan and quarterly re-forecasts.

• Lead capital allocation decisions: which projects clear the WACC hurdle, which get funded, and at what size.

• Partner with Treasury to manage liquidity, banking relationships, FX exposure, and short-term funding backups.

• Own monthly close, financial statements, board reporting, variance commentary, and taxation workflows.

• Recommend dividend, buyback, and other shareholder-return decisions to the CFO and board.

• Lead and mentor a small team (3–5); set hiring bar, run reviews, and partner across the company.

What We’re Looking For

• 6–12 years in corporate finance, FP&A, treasury, or investment banking; 2+ years leading a team.

• Deep fluency in the three pillars: capital budgeting (NPV/IRR), capital structure (WACC, debt/equity), and working capital.

• Comfortable reading and building three-statement models; strong with Excel, SQL, and modern FP&A tools (Anaplan, Pigment, Mosaic, Cube, or equivalent).

• Track record operating in an audit-ready environment (SOX, SOC 2, or comparable controls).

• Excellent written and verbal communication; the kind of finance leader executives actually want in the room.
