Strategic Finance Lead

Rivet is an American company building integrated task systems — fusing hardened hardware with software, sensors, AI, and networking — for industrial work forces and defense personnel. We create capabilities that multiply the effectiveness of every individual and withstand the world’s toughest environments.

We serve the people who build, operate, maintain, and defend our way of life. From technicians and engineers to first responders and service members, they embody the hard work, ingenuity, and meritocratic values that drive Western prosperity. Yet too often they are forced to rely on outdated tools that fail under modern pressures. Rivet exists to reset that priority.

At Rivet, you’ll join a mission-driven team that fuses disciplines to deliver decisive outcomes where they matter most. Whether shaping our technology, strengthening our partnerships, or building our culture, every role here contributes to equipping the front lines with the modern systems they deserve.

• People with a deep disdain for bureaucracy, empire building, groupthink, dogma, corporate babble, and wasted time
• Teammates who want to work exclusively alongside others at the top of their field
• Experienced, no-nonsense professionals who are execution-focused and deliver high-quality solutions above all else

As Rivet enters the next stage of growth we are looking for a senior financial executive to devise, develop and implement financial operations and processes across all aspects of the business.

The core objectives around this role revolve around establishing a robust set of financial foundations from quarterly reporting to managing large CAPEX/OPEX investments, supporting rapid scaling across supply chain sourcing, hardware manufacturing, implementation, and future funding rounds. You will serve as a key advisor to the CEO, analyzing the financial implications of strategic decisions from hiring to market entry to product investments accruing to company value creation.
