About the Role

~1 min read

We’re hiring our first dedicated finance leader—a foundational role that will shape how we operate, make decisions, and scale. You’ll build the financial backbone of the company and help drive strategy at every level.

You’ll partner closely with the CEO and leadership team to own financial planning, fundraising readiness, and company-wide decision making. From modeling and resource allocation to defining the metrics that matter, you’ll turn ambiguity into clarity and help guide the business through its next stage of growth.

This role is ideal for someone who is equally comfortable building from scratch, thinking strategically, and operating hands-on across the business.
