This is a build role at an inflection point
.

You are not stepping into a mature finance function—you are helping define it.

• Build, don’t maintain: You will create the financial operating system—how we plan, measure, and make decisions.
• Operate at the center of the business: You will work directly with the CEO and leadership team on pricing, hiring, and growth decisions.
• Drive real impact: You will identify inefficiencies, improve spending discipline, and influence how the company scales.
• High ownership environment: We value people who think independently, challenge assumptions, and take responsibility for outcomes.
