    • Help establish scalable finance infrastructure as the company grows.
    • Requires 5 days/week in-office collaboration with the team.

    Requirements

    • Experience implementing finance systems and processes from scratch.
    • Strong organizational, analytical, and operational skills.
    • Comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguous startup environments.
    • Builder mentality with a desire to create scalable processes and infrastructure.
    • Willingness to be highly hands-on across both strategic and operational finance work.

    Bonus Qualifications

    • Previous experience at a Big 4 accounting or audit firm (PwC, Deloitte, EY, or KPMG)
    • Experience in robotics, hardware, manufacturing, aerospace, industrial, or deep-tech companies.
    • Experience supporting venture-backed startups through fundraising and board reporting cycles.
    • Experience managing external accounting or audit relationships.
