As our first dedicated Finance Manager, you'll report directly to the Director of Operations and work closely with the leadership team.

  • Track actuals vs. budgets and deliver insights to leadership
• Advisory & Growth Support
  • Provide finance guidance to support fundraising, board reporting, and investor relations
  • Identify opportunities for financial efficiency and improved margins
  • Recommend and implement tools/processes to improve finance operations

Qualifications

• 5+ years of finance or FP&A experience (SaaS experience strongly preferred)
• Proven ability to create and maintain financial models and headcount plans
• Experience managing budgets, forecasts, and department-level financials
• Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills
• Comfort working in a startup/scale-up environment with ambiguity and fast growth
• CPA, CFA, or MBA a plus but not required

What We Offer

• Flexible, part-time role with potential to grow as the company scales
• Opportunity to shape the finance function of a rapidly growing SaaS startup
• Work closely with an ambitious and collaborative leadership team
