Full Job Description
What you'll do
Be Roadrunner's first finance hire - you'll own our financial health end-to-end and build the function from the ground up.
Set up the systems, reporting, and processes that give leadership a clear picture of where we stand and where we're going.
Own our financial narrative for the board and investors - runway, burn, growth, and what it all means for the business.
Be the finance partner to every team: helping Sales think about deal economics, helping leadership make headcount and budget decisions with real numbers.
Decide what you handle yourself and what you outsource - you'll have the judgment to know the difference and own the outcomes either way.
Example projects
Take over financial operations from the founder and build the processes so nothing falls through the cracks - then make it scale.
Build our first real FP&A model: budgets, scenario plans, and a headcount plan that gives leadership the numbers to make big decisions with confidence.
What you'll bring
Experience running finance at a high-growth startup - ideally as the first or only finance hire.
Equally strong as an operator and a strategist. You can get in the weeds and zoom out to the board level.
Good judgment about what to build, what to buy, and what to outsource - and the ownership to see it through regardless.
A real partner to the business, not a back-office function. You lean into the decisions, not just the reporting.
A driver, not a passenger. You create structure where none exists and are comfortable with ambiguity.
Based in SF or excited to relocate - we're an in-person team.
Bonus points if...
You've been the first finance hire at an early-stage company and know what zero-to-one feels like.
You've worn multiple hats - accounting, FP&A, RevOps, compliance - and know how they connect.
What we offer
Medical, dental, and vision benefits for you and your family.
Lunch and dinner, as well as snacks and coffee to keep you energized.
