Full Job Description
The role

You'll be Monaco's first finance hire, owning the function end to end. Today, finance is run by the COO; you'll build it into a real discipline, and scale it as we grow. This role is what you make of it: at minimum, you'll run world-class finance operations for a high-growth startup. For the right person, it's the foundation for leading the function long-term as we scale.
What you'll do
  • FP&A and runway: budgeting, forecasting, headcount planning, and board/investor reporting
  • Pricing and billing: partner with GTM and product leadership on usage-based pricing, revenue metrics, and billing as we scale post-GA
  • Finance operations: banking, treasury, corporate cards, AP/AR, payroll coordination, and the monthly close (with our external accounting partners)
  • Fundraising and strategic finance: modeling and diligence support for future rounds; building the data room and metrics infrastructure investors expect
What You'll Bring
  • 6+ years across investment banking and/or strategic finance at a high-growth technology company; you've seen what great looks like at scale and can build toward it from scratch
  • Exceptional executor, you're hands-on in the model, the close, and the details, not just directing others
  • Strong commercial instincts; comfortable partnering with founders and GTM on pricing, deals, and unit economics
  • Thrive in ambiguity and move fast without dropping precision
  • Low ego, high ownership, you'd rather build the machine than inherit one
Why this role

You'll work directly with a leadership team that has built and scaled category-defining companies before, own a function outright at a critical inflection point, and grow with the company. Competitive salary and meaningful equity.

Location

San Francisco. We're an in-person team - 5 days in the office. At this stage, proximity genuinely accelerates product quality and team cohesion.
