The RoleIn a high-growth environment, finance isn't just about accounting; it's about
resource orchestration. As our Head of Finance, you will sit at the intersection of strategy and execution. Your journey begins by translating our capital and momentum into strategic growth, ensuring our resources are deployed with precision.
In the early days, you will be a

You will shift us from foundational setups to high-fidelity reporting, giving our leadership team crystal-clear visibility into revenue, burn, and margins.
As we scale, your role shifts from
builder to architect. You will become the primary strategic partner to our CEO, modeling our next big moves, evaluating new market opportunities, and leading the charge on future fundraises. You won't just be reporting on the past; you'll be the person architecting our financial future.
